Reports suggest that Prince Harry is eager to make a return to London to provide support and assist in managing the low resources faced by the royal family, especially in light of King Charles and Princess Kate’s cancer diagnoses.
In an exclusive interview, Christopher Andersen, author of “The King: The Life of Charles III,” emphasized Prince Harry’s anticipation of returning to the UK next month for the 10th anniversary celebration of the Invictus Games. Andersen further suggested that Harry might be receptive to the notion of undertaking a part-time royal role.
“In fact, he’s eager to return to London and help take up some of the slack now that the medical issues of the King and the Princess of Wales have thrown the monarchy into a state of crisis,” the author told Chris Daniels.
He also believes it would be in the King’s best interests to grant the Duke and Duchess of Sussex the part-time roles they had originally asked for.
“If they could all put these perceived slights and resentments behind them, Harry and Meghan could be hugely valuable assets to the monarchy at a time when it could use all the help it can get.”
Nevertheless, even if Harry is prepared to reconcile, his nearest family members may not share the same sentiment. Despite having only 45 minutes with his father upon his arrival in the UK following news of the King’s cancer diagnosis in February, Harry also requested a meeting with his brother.
However, according to Christopher, William declined, indicating that lingering “bitterness” remains between the siblings since Harry’s candid memoir, “Spare,” was released in 2023.
“Keep in mind that the Prince of Wales is saddled with the enormous responsibility of holding both his family and the monarchy together while his wife and father cope with their serious medical issues. He simply doesn’t have the bandwidth to deal with the baggage that inevitably accompanies Harry. Having the ‘spare’ back in the royal fold would simply be an enormous distraction, despite his good intentions.”
