Prince Harry has found himself excluded from King Charles' emergency
plans, with reports suggesting he's been advised to keep his distance from the
royal family for the time being. King Charles has implemented emergency
plans in case he's unable to fulfill his royal duties, but notably, none of
these plans involve Prince Harry. Insiders have even gone so far as to label the
idea of Harry returning to royal duties as laughable, especially considering his
strained relationship with his brother, Prince William. In early February,
following the Monarch's cancer diagnosis announcement, Harry made a brief visit
to the UK to see his father. However, Vanity Fair's K. Nichols, citing an
informed source, reported that it's highly unlikely Harry would be called upon
to fulfill royal engagements on behalf of the king. Instead, Prince Charles is
prepared to step in if necessary.
According to a source described as a friend to Vanity Fair, the relationship
between the brothers is so strained that it's unthinkable for William to want
Harry to represent the family. Currently, Harry is keeping his distance from
the royal family, following advice to take some time away. Despite a rush for
him to see his father, the visit was brief and last-minute.
An expert has outlined two steps Prince Harry could take to potentially mend
his relationship with the royal family, particularly with his father and
brother. The Duke of Sussex has been at odds with the family for years,
especially after his revealing interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021. With the
recent release of his Palace newsletter, it's suggested that Harry must halt
his ongoing projects and offer a sincere apology to begin the process of
reconciliation.
