King Charles III's Private Secretary, Sir Clive Alderton, is reportedly disliked by Prince Harry, who criticized him in his memoir "Spare." Despite this, sources close to the palace suggest that Sir Clive's continued involvement in certain royal matters indicates the King's evolving approach, potentially influenced by his son and daughter-in-law.
Sources indicate that the King's willingness to engage with certain initiatives, such as those related to the Invictus Games, demonstrates his support for Prince Harry's endeavors. This alignment is seen by some as evidence that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have, in effect, achieved a degree of their desired influence within the royal family's operations.
The Duke of Sussex's public criticism of Alderton in his memoir, "Spare," highlighted a deep-seated animosity. However, the continued presence and role of Alderton in royal affairs, alongside the King's engagement with Prince Harry's projects, suggest a complex dynamic at play within the monarchy.
