It’s said that life imitates art — or, at least, that certain creative minds have some sort of uncanny psychic prowess.
In Bartlett’s world, the whole royal family is there: Prince William and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge; Prince Charles’ wife, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall; even the ghost of the real Harry’s mother, Diana . The play had always been “unusual,” he said in an interview Thursday, because it was constantly recontextualized by current events — Scotland’s referendum for independence from Britain came during rehearsals, followed not long after by the early stages of Brexit.
But even before the “Megxit” announcement, Harry of “King Charles III” wasn’t too far off. In the play, the prince is introduced to an art student named Jess through a mutual friend at a club. They fall in love beyond the palace walls; Harry is particularly smitten with the freedom Jess has in her flat — “TV, Doritos, curry.”
Jess, in a script written years earlier, complained of similar treatment — though a strained relationship between the royal family and the British press certainly isn’t a new prediction.Unusual match for him, and so exploreWednesday’s news took Goold and Bartlett by surprise, Goold said — because after Harry and Meghan’s wedding, that’s where they assumed the coincidences would end.
