  • In December 2020, online advertisements were displayed that read: Prince Charles' One Regret about Baby Archie is Depressing. Another said: Our Jaws Dropped When He Heard What Prince Charles Said About Baby Archie. Yet another variation showed the words, Prince Charles Blames Himself. Prince Charles Couldn't Accept Harry and Meghan's Exit. Some of the ads showed a crying Prince Charles. Other ads claimed: Prince Charles’ One Regret About Baby Archie Is Devastating and Our Jaws Dropped When He Heard What Prince Charles Said About Baby Archie. Readers who clicked the advertisement were led to a slideshow-style story on the website Affluent Times with the headline: Prince Charles Apparently Has This One Major Regret About Baby Archie. Readers had to click through 81 pages to get the whole story. The strategy behind having 81 pages for a single story? So the advertiser can make more money on ads displayed on all those pages than it cost to run the initial ad that brought readers to the story in the first place. This is known as advertising arbitrage. Some blogs and tabloids did report that an author said Charles had a regret about baby Archie. However, it was not a direct quote from the Prince of Wales. The claim lacks direct evidence. Baby Archie is the son of Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex. In early 2020, the three moved away from the royal family and now reside in Montecito, California. Author Nigel Cawthorne, who wrote the book, Prince Andrew: Epstein and the Palace, was quoted by Marie Claire: This was not a direct quote from Charles. It's also worth noting that the advertised photo of Charles was not from 2020, nor was it all that recent. In fact, the photograph was captured a few years before baby Archie even arrived. Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor was born on May 6, 2019. We traced the photo of Charles to London, England on March 26, 2015. The Getty Images caption read: Prince Charles, Prince of Wales attends a reception to launch 'Travels To My Elephant' at Clarence House on March 26, 2015 in London, England. In November 2015 a fleet of thirty rickshaws will journey 500km across Madhya Pradesh, India, in a race to save Asias elephants from extinction. The photo was captured by Yui Mok. The official YouTube channel for The Royal Family provided a glimpse into the event. The Indian Express also provided insight: In summary, an outdated photograph of Charles weeping at an event held in memory of a family member who died was used in a misleading advertisement to hawk an 81-page story about a fictional royal family drama. There certainly was no shortage of royal family rumors to go around in 2020. We previously reported on an outdated story involving another member of the royal family: the former Kate Middleton, now Duchess of Cambridge. (en)
