King Charles may be about to speak out and break his silence on Harry and Meghan as the Palace aides are discussing the possibility of Charles telling his side of the story. 

The potential interview will feature in the BBC coverage celebrating the Kings coronation in May. However, Palace aides are allegedly concerned about the line of questioning and sources say that Kind Charles is mulling over the interview offer.

Veteran broadcaster Jonathan Dimbleby, 78, a long-term friend of Charles is rumoured to be conducting the tell-all interview. 

An insider told The Mirror, “Plans are already up and running for coronation coverage at the BBC, including the profile on the monarch. It is not the done thing to avoid subjects in interviews, so it makes matters tricky.”

“Even one small comment on Harry and Meghan would make worldwide news. It could also prompt a response from Harry, which would be unpredictable, like so much. Everything is very delicate.”

British broadcaster ITV has allegedly also asked for an interview with the King, however after Harry conducted an interview with them earlier this month, insiders say their chances to score an interview are slim.

Insiders have also stressed that they want to make sure the chat is positive for the King, unlike the interview conducted in 2019 with Prince Andrew and his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. 

Another option for Charles is to release his own footage which can be used by the media rather than being asked specific questions. 

Sources say that this option “allows control over what is said and would not address the Sussexes.”
