Earlier this month, Buckingham Palace announced that King Charles had been diagnosed with cancer, following an operation for an enlarged prostate. Consequently, the Monarch has postponed all public engagements but continues to work behind the scenes on state matters. Princess Kate, on the other hand, underwent elective abdominal surgery in January and is currently recuperating at Adelaide Cottage, the Welsh couple's residence in Windsor.
Recently, Meghan was spotted having dinner with the head of Oprah Winfrey's production company in Los Angeles, fueling speculations about her future plans. Furthermore, she appeared alongside Prince Harry at the Invictus Games one-year-to-go winter training camp in Vancouver, Canada. During a 10-minute segment on talk TV, Kinsey Scoffield shared insights, revealing that Prince Harry, as reported by the Mirror, was feeling bored in California and considering a return to the UK to contribute to the working royal family. Notably, author Tom Quinn also suggested that Prince Harry misses his role within the royal family and recognizes the value he holds. Quinn emphasized that for the sake of the world, Prince Harry would be better off not becoming a retired king, and his return would serve as a reminder of his significance.
However, Daily Mail diarist Richard Eden highlighted that Prince William is still involved in the Sandringham Summit, which will determine the future roles of Harry and Meghan. Eden expressed his eagerness to ensure that the terms of the discussions are adhered to. Nevertheless, it is reported that Meghan is against the idea of Prince Harry taking on a temporary role, particularly while her father and sister-in-law are dealing with health issues.
Kinsey Scoffield concluded the segment by raising a question to viewers: "Do you think it was right for Prince William to distance himself from his brother?" She acknowledged that Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan had taken the first steps towards redemption in Prince Harry's recent TV interview, during which he expressed his love for Prince William. However, royal sources indicate that this may not be enough. Former BBC Royal commentator Michael Cole noted that Prince Harry's apology was merely a single step and that, despite Meghan and Harry often speaking about love and kindness, they do not demonstrate it significantly towards their own families. A veteran journalist shared his impression of Prince Harry's admiration for the families of seriously injured soldiers who participated in the Invictus Games, while questioning the sincerity of the couple's actions.
