If Prince Harry Wants to Help King Charles III, He Must Face Prince William First, Royal Expert Says
Prince Harry’s willingness to support his father, King Charles III, amid his cancer diagnosis may be hindered by Prince William’s simmering rage, according to royal expert Christopher Andersen.
Unlikely Approval from Prince William
The Times U.K. recently reported that Prince Harry is prepared to take on a temporary royal role to assist his father during his illness. However, Andersen believes that Prince William, as the heir to the British throne, would not accept Harry’s offer.
“Harry is very concerned about his father’s health,” Andersen explains. “If it were up to Harry, he would almost certainly pitch in, even if it meant keeping an arm’s length away from William, who is still simmering with rage over Harry’s conduct.”
A Divide Among the British Public
Andersen suggests that if Prince Harry were to rejoin the royal family, it would divide the British public, who have grown critical of Harry and Meghan in recent years. The tabloids would be filled with headlines and scrutiny of Harry’s every move, while there would be endless speculation about Meghan’s role.
Furthermore, Andersen highlights Harry’s stunning revelation that he is considering becoming a U.S. citizen, which may not inspire confidence in his future within the royal family.
Obstacle of Prince William
According to Kinsey Schofield, host of the “To Di For Daily” podcast, there is a significant obstacle in Harry’s way, and that is Prince William.
“Harry will not be allowed to return in any capacity if Prince William has any influence over the situation,” Schofield explains. “William understands that Harry and Meghan don’t properly consider the consequences and aren’t trustworthy.”
She concludes that they are seen as a liability to the royal family.
Private Turmoil for Prince William
Helena Chard, a royal broadcaster and photographer, believes that Prince William has his own private turmoil and does not trust his brother or want anything to interfere with his wife, Catherine’s, recovery.
She emphasizes that for true reconciliation and any hope for Prince Harry to regain the trust of the royal family and the public, he must redeem himself.
Palace Advisers and the Challenges Harry Faces
Andersen illuminates the role of the “men in gray” behind palace walls, the powerful palace advisers who run the monarchy behind the scenes.
These figures view Harry and Meghan’s departure from the royal family and their subsequent actions, such as the Oprah interview and Harry’s memoir, as a betrayal. Andersen suggests that they believe the Sussexes made their own choices and must live with the consequences.
Andersen also points out that King Charles has his own challenges and does not need the aggravation that a return from Prince Harry would bring.
Long Road Ahead for Prince Harry
Andersen concludes that if Prince Harry wants to resume any kind of royal duties and earn the palace’s trust, he still has a long way to go.
These insights from royal experts shed light on the obstacles Prince Harry faces in his desire to support his father while navigating his tempestuous relationship with Prince William and the challenges posed by palace advisers.
