VI. Camilla’s Media Counteroffensive
Camilla was no passive victim. She summoned Elena, her shrewd adviser, and launched a media blitz to discredit Andrew. Within hours, tabloids screamed of Andrew’s “delusional revenge plot.” Old photos surfaced, painting him as unstable and obsessed with power. Memes mocked him as a madman, and public opinion shifted.
But Camilla knew the real battle was with Charles. She staged an emotional scene at a private dinner, tears streaming as she pleaded for his trust. “Andrew is ill, Charles. I fear he’ll harm us both.” Her performance was flawless, but Charles remained distant, his heart torn between pity and suspicion.
VII. The King’s Final Investigation
Unable to rely solely on his team, Charles took matters into his own hands. Late at night, he slipped into the palace archives, using the master key gifted by Queen Elizabeth. In the damp basement, he found the original psychological files—yellowed pages, doctor’s notes, and Camilla’s handwritten instructions.
The documents were chilling. They detailed how Camilla should present herself as an empathetic listener, using key phrases to build emotional dependence. The final page, dated September 15, 1997, read: “Phase three, successful. Charles, fully open, admits dependence. Proceed to phase four, solidify position.”
Charles photographed every page, sending them to his team for verification. The handwriting matched, the dates aligned, and the signatures were authentic. The evidence was irrefutable.
