Charles is planning BBC interview ahead of coronation & faces being grilled over Harry's attacks, expert says | The Sun

KING Charles plans to grant an interview about his plans for the monarchy with the BBC, a royal insider has claimed.

The bombshell interview could see him face a grilling about youngest son Harry's attacks on his family and allegations of racism.


Charles is keen to outline his “manifesto” for a modernized Royal Family within the UK and Commonwealth, according to Royal commentator, author and Princess Diana's confidante Stewart Pearce.

He says the new King is planning to discuss his outlook on the monarchy’s future for a BBC special, potentially with friend and broadcaster Jonathan Dimbleby posing the questions.

“I believe strongly, that Charles will grant another interview to the BBC, possibly with somebody like Jonathan Dimbleby, whom he trusts and likes,” Pearce said in an exclusive interview at a British American Business Council event in California.

In 1994, Dimbleby spoke to the then Prince for an explosive show Charles: The Private Man, the Public Role on ITV, where he admitted adultery with Camilla Parker-Bowles.

More than 180 hours of footage were reportedly shot for the programme with cameras following Charles around for a year.

The bombshell cheating admission came after Dimbleby asked Charles if he had been faithful to Diana, to which he responded that he had "until" the marriage "became irretrievably broken down".

Pearce said that the connection between Dimbleby and Charles remains strong, adding: “After all, 30 years ago the documentary was released, which was a very profound conversation between Prince Charles, as he was then, and Dimbleby."

The BBC has been in secret talks with Charles for months over a preview celebrating his ascension on May 6.

Pearce is the first to go on the record regarding the King committing to a media interaction, which would be Charles’ first potential major interview since Megxit.

Pearce believes that Charles has been outlining his future for a while and has developed his manifesto based on "compassion and transparency".

“Yes absolutely. It is a manifesto to allow the alacrity, ease, transparency and wonder of sustainable monarchy in today’s temperament,” he said.

“This is extraordinary, this époque making event of King Charles’ coronation…

“One of the major constituent parts of this will be creating change through compassion, parity, diversity and absolute transparency.

“In other words Charles is a future facing monarch.”

Pearce reckons that tension and drama between the Sussexes and the King will have no impact on the American-based Royals’ invite to the Coronation.

Pearce feels that while publicly Charles is seen to be at war with Harry and his wife Meghan Markle privately he, as a “very kind, sensitive, compassionate man”, is keen to not only have them attend his coronation, but try for peace.

This week The Sun revealed that Charles ordered that Meghan and Harry be evicted from their UK base Frogmore Cottage – in a move dubbed "Frogxit".

Pearce feels that Charles is open to a “reconnection” with his youngest son, despite attacks on the family in his Netflix series and memoir Spare.

However the parties do need to achieve “healing” in the next few weeks.

“The big question is will the Duke And Duke Of Sussex on May 6? And the answer is yes, of course. 

“And yes there is a lot of healing that needs to take place between the household of the Sussexes in the USA and the hegemony in the UK.

“That is the intention that is vital, alive and crucial to allow this wonderful reconnection to take place. Deep in my heart I believe this will happen.”

Pearce says that the media portrayal of King Charles is much harsher than his true “softer nature”.

“Fundamentally I have observed Charles all of my life. I was born into it (Royal circles) and my parents were servants," he said.

“Actually my father taught Charles how to tie his tie.

“There is a certain amount of privy detailing that I have. And I believe categorically that Charles is reviewing the so-called breach that has been created by the departure of Harry and Meghan into a new life in the United States.

"I believe he is regarding it is a testament of healing 

“This is a very kind, sensitive, compassionate man that has proved to us the uniqueness of his consideration of climate change, the environment etc.

“This is a peacemaker at heart. This is a great healer.

“Of course his heart is absolutely open. If anyone has read Spare you will read that Charles is always saying my darling boy to Harry. 

“So I believe the intention is that all will be well.”
