Public sentiment regarding Prince Harry's departure has largely remained undisclosed, with Prince Charles choosing to keep his feelings private. However, a recent encounter at the University of East London's Stratford campus provided a rare insight into the King's perspective. When asked by a well-wisher about bringing back his son, Prince Charles responded succinctly with, "It would be nice."
The conversation about Prince Harry's potential return gained momentum earlier this year following health concerns for two prominent royals. In mid-January, Kensington Palace announced Princess Kate's successful abdominal surgery, while Buckingham Palace revealed King Charles's hospital admission for prostate-related issues, which later led to a cancer diagnosis.
As King Charles temporarily steps back from public-facing duties to focus on his health, discussions have emerged regarding the possibility of Prince Harry's return to royal engagements. However, sources close to the palace consider this scenario "highly unlikely," citing a carefully planned contingency in the event of the King's absence from public engagements.
While Queen Camilla and Princess Anne have taken on more prominent roles in recent weeks, the prospect of Prince Harry resuming his duties remains uncertain. Despite ongoing speculation, the Royal Family continues to fulfill its obligations, with Queen Camilla recently joined by the Duchess of Gloucester in presenting awards for higher and further education at Buckingham Palace.
As the monarchy navigates these unprecedented challenges, the question of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's future role within the royal establishment remains unanswered, leaving royal watchers eagerly awaiting further developments.
