Royal Family LIVE: Prince Harry’s offer to return ‘met with swift and brutal response’
In recent weeks Prince Harry has expressed a desire to return to royal duties following King Charles’ cancer diagnosis earlier this year. Prince Harry’s offer to return to royal duties was met with a swift and brutal response, according to a royal expert.
Writing in the Daily Mail’s Palace Confidential newsletter royal expert Richard Eden said that while there was a desire to improve relations between Prince Harry and King Charles, this might not extend to a return to royal duties. Mr Eden explained that while Prince Harry told friends he would be willing to return to royal duties to help the Royal Family the response from sources in the UK was “swift and brutal”.
Mr Eden added: “What I hear is that, while the King is keen to mend fences with his younger son, Prince William is adamant that the Royal Household should stick with the Sandringham summit agreement with Queen Elizabeth of 2020.”
Prince Harry’s willingness to return to a royal role comes just weeks after King Charles was diagnosed with cancer following treatment for an enlarged prostate. Soon after his diagnosis, Prince Harry flew from the USA to see the King before his cancer treatment began.
