Prince Harry holds a position of seniority within the royal family, serving as a counsellor of state. This means that the King could delegate certain royal responsibilities to him through letters patent.However, despite these reports, it seems unlikely that Prince Harry will fully return to his previous role within the royal fold. In 2020, he and his wife Meghan Markle stepped back from their positions as working members of the royal family, a decision commonly referred to as 'Megxit' at the time.
During an interview with Good Morning America, Prince Harry was asked about how he is dealing with his father's health while residing in California. In response, he acknowledged that he has his own family and life in California, stating, "My family and my life in California is as it is." He did mention that he has future trips planned that will bring him to the UK, and he intends to visit his family as much as possible.
In light of the King's cancer diagnosis, Prince Harry returned to the United Kingdom and had a 45-minute meeting with his father. The meeting took place before the King's trip to Sandringham, which he delayed to spend time with his son.
While the possibility of Prince Harry resuming his full royal duties remains uncertain, it is clear that both he and the royal family are navigating the complexities of family dynamics amidst challenging circumstances.
