Prince Harry shakes up royal scene with dramatic UK return
- Replies 51
Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, may face the winds of change across the Atlantic as reports surface of his potential return to the UK.
After a period that some have dubbed an 'exile' in the United States, Harry is seeking to reconnect with his roots and possibly mend fences with the royal establishment.
According to sources, on Sunday, Prince Harry has been in discussions with former aides and confidantes from his days as a full-time working royal.
This move suggests a desire to shift gears and find a way to reintegrate into the life he left behind when he and his wife, Meghan Markle, stepped back from their royal duties and moved abroad.
‘Harry is turning away from all sorts of Hollywood publicists and is seeking counsel from his old friends and associates,’ the source said.
‘He is clearly reaching out thinking, “I need to do something different because what I’m doing is clearly not working.” In short, he is rethinking the way he operates.’
The idea of a 'comeback' is intriguing. It's not just about geography; it's about a man who is, by all accounts, looking to redefine his role and identity.
The Duke is reportedly exploring the possibility of resuming 'very low-key royal duties,'
Earlier this month, the UK Times revealed that Harry has been privately struggling with certain aspects of his life in California and is finding it difficult to move on from his past.
A friend of the Duke of Sussex mentioned that they occasionally receive WhatsApp messages from him and described him as “angry.”
‘He’s an angry boy. Things haven’t turned out how he wanted,’ the insider exclaimed.
‘I think he misses being over here [in Britain] desperately and wants to be admired more. Anyone who knows him feels he’d rather be at the top of the pops here with everyone loving him, as they do with William and Kate.’
The couple's relationship with the media and their approach to public relations seem to be in flux.
The departure of PR adviser Christine Weil Schirmer, who joined the Sussexes in 2020, hints at a new chapter in their public narrative.
Prince Harry recently visited the UK for his uncle's funeral service, where he reportedly did not speak to his brother, Prince William.
Friends and insiders suggested that Harry may be grappling with feelings of isolation and a longing for the camaraderie and lifestyle he once enjoyed in Britain.
‘He has ended up isolated from his family and most of his old mates, in an environment where your friendships are not like the ones you forged as a young man,’ the insider said.
‘He used to love a night out in the pub and hanging out in the country with friends.’
‘A former adviser to Harry also told the Times that “all [Harry] does” is “spend time looking back”.’
‘If only he could wrench his neck around and look forward,’
In other news, Princess Catherine was diagnosed with cancer after surgery and has started chemotherapy.
Despite previous tensions, she has privately sought support from Prince Harry during her health struggle. Read more about it here.
