Prince Harry eyes part-time UK return amid US dissatisfaction
Harry seeks advice from old friends, contemplates part-time UK return
Prince Harry might be contemplating a part-time return to the UK due to dissatisfaction with life in the US, according to a royal expert. Reports suggest the Duke of Sussex is seeking advice from old friends and distancing himself from Hollywood publicists.
Michael Cole, a BBC Royal Correspondent, discussed these claims on GB News. He stated that Harry is not considering ending his four-year stay in America to move back permanently. Harry has reportedly contacted a former aide in the UK and spoken to friends about enhancing his public image there. This could lead to more frequent visits and possibly minor royal duties. Cole believes the chances of this happening are slim but suggests Harry desires a relationship similar to his previous one with the UK and his family.
Cole emphasised that Harry appears to be unhappy. Harry recently attended a memorial service for his late uncle, Lord Fellowes, in Norfolk. Cole speculated that Harry may have reflected on what he left behind.
Host Eamonn Holmes noted that any decision for Harry to return would require approval from Meghan Markle. Holmes highlighted that Harry couldn’t make such a decision independently, needing Meghan’s consent. Cole agreed, stating that in a respectful marriage, such decisions are made together. He added that Meghan has expressed her feelings about the UK, despite the warm welcome she received initially.
Cole lamented the missed opportunities for Harry and Meghan, who could have contributed significantly to the UK and the Commonwealth. He believes they would have had the support of Buckingham Palace, avoiding their current dilemmas. Instead of a PR consultant, Cole suggests they need a peacemaker.
