Prince Harry's much-talked-about return to Britain may look like a fresh start on the surface, but insiders are painting a very different picture behind closed doors. According to people close to him, the Duke of Sussex is arriving back in the UK carrying the exact same frustration he left with six years ago — and he's not shy about wanting accountability.
Sources who spoke with a UK tabloid say Harry still feels let down by particular royal family members and continues to expect a formal apology, something that reportedly hasn't materialized. Friends who've reconnected with him since his return were apparently caught off guard by how unchanged his feelings still are, with one insider describing the situation as "shocking and quite sad."
This homecoming, according to those close to the family, shouldn't be mistaken for a full reset of the rift that led to Megxit in the first place. Harry is said to be in no rush to offer any public apology of his own for his past comments about the family, despite hopes from royal watchers that his return could smooth things over with the Prince and Princess of Wales.
Beyond the emotional side of things, Harry is also reportedly locked in a serious battle over security arrangements now that he's back on British soil. A source close to him argued that his protection team currently has almost no real means of defending him or his family if a threat arises, and stressed that safeguarding him falls under the government's basic duty to protect its citizens — a status that doesn't disappear just because he stepped back from royal duties.
Adding to the tension, the Home Office has reportedly ordered another review into the risks facing Harry, Meghan, and their two children following their move. Those close to Harry say he's increasingly worried that RAVEC, the body responsible for assessing royal security needs, might not be able to review his case without bias.
