Buckingham Palace finds itself under a figurative siege following the revelations in Scobie's book, and the 75-year-old monarch's approach to the bombshell claims has been labeled 'idiotic' by royal commentator Daniela Elser.
Elser criticizes King Charles for energetically addressing the climate crisis at COP28 in Dubai while Buckingham Palace grapples with the aftermath of the explosive book.
She points out the perceived shortcomings in the royal family's strategy, including what she calls a "massive translation error or the most outrageous marketing campaign in history" when names of two senior royals were allegedly revealed in the Dutch version of the book, expressing concerns about Prince Archie's color.
In an assessment shared with news.com.au, Elser remarks, "We have a Royal Family having been buffeted by a highly damaging crisis after years of damaging crises."
The expert goes on to criticize the King's reluctance to address the claims against the family, describing it as "not brave or stoic or dignified but plain old idiotic."
Elser, a royal commentator and journalist, implores Prince William's father to reconsider his stance, emphasizing the potential consequences of losing "the battle to sway younger Britons to the cause of the monarchy." The call is for a more proactive and engaged response to salvage the reputation of the monarchy in the eyes of the public, especially the younger demographic.
