Prince Harry will ‘never be part-time Royal’ despite King Charles reconciliation

Prince Harry will reportedly never be allowed to be a part-time working Royal, despite a recent successful visit to the UK in which he reunited with his father, King Charles III.

Reports that Harry could “take some of the load off” his brother, Prince William, are inaccurate, according to insiders who spoke to the Daily Mail.

“The King is a forgiving man but has been absolutely clear in upholding his late mother’s decision that there cannot be ‘half-in, half-out’ members of the working royal family,” a Royal source told the Daily Mail.

Another Royal source also told the outlet that reports of tensions between King Charles and Prince William were unsubstantiated.

“These syrupy briefings from supposed Sussex sources are precisely why the King and Royal family are so hesitant to embark on any road to rapprochement. If the intention is to encourage a rebuilding of trust and relationships, they serve the precise opposite effect,” the source said.

Another report says that Prince Harry is desperate to reunite with the royal family and recently made a small step towards his goal by meeting with his father, King Charles.

The pair spent 55 minutes together in what was their first reunion in 19 months. However, Prince William and Kate Middleton were absent from the meeting.

If Harry wants to enjoy a full royal reunion and mend the relationship with his brother, PR expert Ryan McCormick has suggested he “needs to do more public appearances in front of audiences that will treat him warmly.”

If Harry were to do this, it would also open up a “ton of potential sponsorship opportunities, non-profit tie ins, and a lot of photos,” according to McCormick.

The expert then suggested Harry seems to be taking a positive step in mending royal relations.

“As far as Harry’s relationship with his father and brother goes, the fact that he’s keeping quiet and staying out of trouble is a positive force that is compounding momentum with each passing day,” he said.

Harry’s reunion with the royal family rests on him maintaining distance from drama, McCormick suggested.

Last week, Donald Trump visited the UK for his second state visit.

During the trip, the president delivered a speech at a state banquet, which was filled with praise, but contained one moment the monarch may not have been happy with, says another royal expert.

It appears Trump went out of his way to skip over Prince Harry in his thank you message, with royal expert Ian Pelham Turner saying it was seen as a “deliberate snub” and King Charles was most likely “not amused.”

Pelham Turner found it intriguing that Trump “heaped praise” on Prince William and Princess Kate, but omitted Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, which could be seen as a “sideways swipe at the King’s younger son.”
