Prince Harry is reportedly planning a return to the royal family, which could surprise his cancer-stricken father, King Charles III. The move comes amid claims that his “California experiment” with Meghan Markle is on the brink of failure.
Royal commentator Maureen Callahan, speaking to Kinsey Schofield on YouTube, suggested that the Duke of Sussex is taking steps to reconnect with his family. “He (Prince Harry) appears to be maneuvering his way back into the royal fold. Very soft launch, but definitive steps have been taken.” Callahan said.
The royal expert also noted that Harry is “not currently working” with Meghan Markle as their professional split continues. According informationThe pair have been pursuing individual projects in 2024 and there appears to be a lack of “emotional” connection in their professional lives.
Callahan referenced previous reports suggesting Harry had reopened communication with King Charles. “…He opened the additional chapter he had prepared for the paperback edition of Replacementand it seems that he sees that the California experiment has been a total failure,” he said, referring to Harry’s memoirs and his possible reflections on his post-royal life.
The Sussexes’ brand, which once attracted significant public attention, is reportedly losing its appeal. Reports also indicate that Meghan is “taking a backseat” to focus on her role as mother to Archie and Lilibet, as the dynamics of their marriage and their shared brand are reportedly changing.
“(Meghan) is feeling the grip of this marriage and this brand is slipping out of her hands,” Callahan added. Speculation about Harry’s possible return to royal duties has been mounting, particularly as he and Meghan appear to be traveling individual paths. If true, Harry’s reconnection with the royal family could mark an important chapter in the ongoing saga of the Sussexes’ departure and their subsequent life in California.
For now, the Duke and Duchess appear set for separate activities in 2025, leaving questions about the future of their partnership and their roles within the monarchy. The evolving dynamic between Harry, Meghan and the royal family continues to captivate public interest.
