Royal expert Michael Cole suggests Harry’s recent actions indicate a desire to repair relations with his family and potentially return to “minor royal duties” after reconciling with Charles and William. Speaking to GB NewsCole noted that Harry, the Duke of Sussex, “wants to improve his image on this side of the Atlantic so that he can come here more often.”
Cole elaborated, saying: “He is apparently even planning to undertake minor royal duties,” but added: “I think the chances of that happening are slim to none.” Speaking about the reissue of Harry’s explosive memoir, Cole said the decision not to update the book or promote it further indicated Harry’s desperation to end the rift with his family. “I think the contract obviously included a paperback edition, but he has not added any new chapters or written a preface or epilogue to add to and renew the anguish he has caused his family with these revelations,” Cole explained.
Cole described this gesture as “a kind of peace gesture” and “a kind of symbolic gesture,” suggesting that it may be Harry’s way of saying, “I’m so sorry, I’d like a little forgiveness.” The expert also reflected on how Harry “could have been a great asset alongside his wife,” lamenting the lost potential due to the ongoing split.
These developments come amid speculation that Harry may be seeking forgiveness and considering returning to the royal family, following the uproar caused by the revelations in his memoirs. It remains to be seen whether this apology will lead to a genuine reconciliation, but it appears that Harry is making some effort to repair his strained relations with the Royal Family.
