Exclusive: Prince Harry's Visits to the U.K. Will 'Remain Fleeting' Until He's on 'Better Terms With His Family'
Harry, Duke of Sussex, will likely not be returning to Britain anytime soon unless he gets on' better terms with his family,' royal expert Mark Boardman shares.
Prince Harry's reunion with his father, King Charles III, on February 6, will likely not lead to any further reconciliations with his family.
"As Prince Harry currently lacks a U.K. residence, any visits to see his family require meticulous planning, especially concerning security arrangements," royal and entertainment expert Mark Boardman exclusively tells The Royal Observer.
"Until the Duke is on better terms with his family, any visits from Prince Harry will likely remain fleeting, unless an official invitation has been extended. Should Prince William ascend to the throne, it's fair to say that he would seek to mend any rifts with his younger brother Harry," he adds. "However, this would likely necessitate Meghan and Kate developing a close friendship as well, but it would be a necessity considering the public interest."
Prince Harry was reportedly "open" to the idea of visiting Prince William when he sat with a sick King Charles III, but the heir to the throne was not interested. In fact, royal journalist Michael Cole spilled that William's attitude toward his younger brother is "hardening" as time goes by — not "softening."
"Prince Harry's reunion with his father, King Charles III, was indeed 'brief,' but it would have undoubtedly been comforting for both Harry and the monarch following his cancer diagnosis," the founder of MarkMeets.com observes. "Despite the brevity of the visit, it's important to recognize that The Duke of Sussex has a busy schedule with prior engagements and many events booked for the remainder of the year."
The King was very wise," Cole shared. "He always made it clear that his son was loved and would always be welcomed, but quite clearly he doesn't approve of the things he's been doing.
The journalist then cut a sharp contrast when discussing the latest royal drama when he stated: "The relationship that Harry now has with his older brother William is appalling. And I think Prince Williams's attitude towards his younger brother is hardening rather than softening. So there's no possibility at all of any sort of rapprochement. Interestingly, a poll of British people gave Prince William an approval rating of 74 percent."
Cole then added how "A recent poll in America showed a remarkable result: that Prince William was the most popular man in the world. The approval rating that Catherine, Princess of Wales, has is something like 35 percent. That's a very high margin. So no doubt's winning the public relations war."
Cole observed: "And it's not the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in their California Camelot on a hilltop with their rescue chickens and lots of celebrity friends telling them they're wonderful and that they do no wrong."
