Perhaps that's true for private citizens, but for the Monarch?
Charles must take public feeling into account, just as the late Queen was forced to when Diana died.
In most families, a parent's love for their children is never affected by personal difficulties when they grow up and see that their parents were not that perfect. Or that their expectations on what you wanted during childhood were not fulfilled. And then you grow out of it and as the saying goes,
you become your parents and understand them with a bit more compassion.
With the KCharles family seems everyone expects the parent to be the one to apologize and be forgiven. In the Montecito clan, there are two fathers/grandfathers and one has done the apology tour so often is almost sad to watch. Another parent just waits for PH to come to his senses and stop with this stand-off attitude he has or is being manipulated into by whatever forces are in place this month: need for independence, greed for money, payback for an unfinished childhood situation, etc.
Imagine
if you had a daughter-in-law that doesn't seem to be part of the family nor wants the grandchildren to be near you while her spouse (your
son), has the spinal cord of a jellyfish in this household? How would you tackle it?
When you are a grown man, and that happened to me back in the 80s and 90s with my own parents (I was raised by grandparents), you see that you need to learn to forgive and move on with your life. Your parents won't apologize for their mistakes because for them that was just part of their life situation they had as young people.
KCharles doesn't need
to be forced and
to take the public feeling into account, because from the perspective I see in our fellow RF UK members, that would be removing all titles with one signature on a decree.
He did not send them away. And he is not the head of a normal family living at the end of the street but a head of state and head of the Church of England. This four-years going into five family game of chess is being played solo by H&M because KC is busy leading the kingdom and fighting for his life to be free of cancer.
And my opinion is that, at some point, a grown-up child and his entrepreneurial wife need to just let things go and stop living in a reality show that is only happening only in their heads. I really wish they, and us, could just move on but seems every time a visit to the UK is in the plans for PH is like revisiting the need to force his father to bow to whatever needs they have while running a parallel royal business in the USA. And if Charles bends the knee (a
Game of Thrones reference) to the Sussex duo, then what would be their demands be after that? Financial support to get more egg-laying chickens at Montecito?
You have to move on, act your age first and then move on and stop with the blaming of the parents. Life is just too short.
