Sudden farewell to Queen Elizabeth II, who died on September 8, was sad news for the whole world. We barely had time to say goodbye when the new monarch was sworn in: Ray Charles III son of a former monarch who ascended the throne of the United Kingdom at the age of 73.

Charles is the oldest person in history to hold the post, but his name is far from new in English and world headlines – as a prince, he collected controversy that is now returning to torment him and create the negative image of the reign he had just begun. The disputes range from very sensitive topics such as adultery with Diana, obscure accounts in tax havens, donations foreign to their business, among other disputes below!

Princess Diana

The relationship between Diana Spencer and Charles was not easy and, in the end, both confessed to cheating on their partner, but the world loved the princess and understood her position. For the then prince, however, it got even worse: Diana died in a tragic accident in 1997, a year after the official divorce, in 96. Lady Di. The situation became even more awkward for the prince, because, having entered into a relationship and formalized it in 2004, Camilla rightfully received the title of Princess of Wales, which once belonged to Diana. Now Parker Bowles will be queen consort, and that doesn’t sit well with many lovers of Princess Diana, who has never been forgotten.

Charles is also involved in controversies related to his personal and charitable business. The charities he runs are already accused of receiving large donations from the Qatari royal family and Osama bin Laden’s relatives. The terrorist’s family, by the way, broke up with Osama years before the 2001 attacks.

Charles Scandals

Prince covered the pages of political scandal in a 2017 episode known as the “Paradise Papers,” about leaks of confidential data from tax havens that revealed that Charles offshore financed influence peddling – a famous lobby – to change agreements. to climate change.

King Charles always knew that one day he would have to take the throne, and this is not disputed. But accepting this huge responsibility at the age of 73 must have been very difficult and tiring for him as he led a more peaceful life. Now, as a king, he will have to deal with a strict list of duties and protocols, which visibly annoys him, as we can see in everyday situations such as the pen problem.

BUT it’s people spoke with internationalist and political scientist Uria Fancelli, who analyzed the contradictions of King Charles III.

According to Urian, the United Kingdom is going through unprecedented hardships in recent history, and the Queen, beloved by all Britons, was the mixture that still held together a country that was to be divided forever. “Charles is taking over under very difficult conditions internationally, following the pandemic and the Ukrainian war, and also nationally given a number of factors in England. Record inflation against the backdrop of Brexit and the deficit crisis, high fuel prices, a change of government in parliament… In any case, everything is very tense,” the commentator reflects.

“Elizabeth II was a recognized and prestigious figure throughout the world, she was the longest-lived monarch in the history of the British, and affection for her united the British. The same cannot be said for Charles, who has long been considered the heir to the throne and has always been very controversial,” says Fancelli. “The geopolitical concern is that Charles, who is much weaker than Elizabeth, will further complicate all these problems.”

Fancelli also emphasizes that the most worrisome of all these problems is the imminent disintegration of the United Kingdom itself, which in the coming years may undergo political restructuring. “It’s on the radar because of the referendum that’s going on in Scotland,” he says. “The low popularity of the monarchy in this sense is a serious threat,” Uria Fancelli concludes.
