According to the royal family on February 19, King Charles seems to be firm that his young son Prince Harry will not be able to return to the royal family, although Harry himself has shown signs of willingness to return.
Rumor has it that Prince Harry may be willing to return to his job for a while after the king has been diagnosed with cancer. Previously, Harry hurried back to England to accompany his father and had a brief but positive meeting with the king.
However, sources close to Charles insisted that the warm meeting did not change the situation and that the king was "convinced" that Harry would not be able to return to royal work. However, sources revealed that Charles was willing to repair a strained relationship with his son.
One source told the Daily Mail: "Did the king and Harry communicate? Yes. Does this mean that he will return to the royal family for a while? No. Another source added: "With the exception of a few ordination ceremonies, the king has no plans to assign a large number of duties to other family members during the acceptance of **." ”
Others made it clear that the royal family agreed that the so-called "Sandringham summit" principle should be upheld. In January 2020, the late Queen said Harry's "half-in, half-out" approach simply wouldn't work.
Rumours were made over the weekend that Harry would be willing to help his family in times of need, but did not expect such calls. A source close to Harry told Page Six: "I have a hard time believing that if his dad needed help, Harry would say no, I think he would do his best. But the insider added: "I don't think it's something that Harry himself has offered to do." ”
In an interview with Good Morning America last Friday, Prince Harry said he thought the king's illness could bring the family back together after years of tension, declaring: "I love my family. Allegedly, the monarch's youngest son may also return to England more often with his children to spend time with his three cousins, as well as his grandparents.
It is worth noting that Harry initially resigned from his royal duties in 2020 along with his wife Meghan Markle. While he remains a state advisor, it is not expected that he will take over the duties of the king during his reign.
In this seemingly irreconcilable "return" battle, the relationship between King Charles and Prince Harry is becoming more and more complicated. Despite Harry's love for his family, it is still unclear whether the half-in, half-out model will be possible under pressure from the Sandringham summit principles. It remains to be seen whether this royal family dispute can finally find a solution and usher in a new settlement.
