Prince Harry has now departed the UK, but the Daily Express has been told his recent visit made a remarkably positive impression.
The Duke of Sussex spent four days in his homeland, participating in various engagements connected to his charities and patronages, in what has been described as a “hugely successful” trip.
Among the standout moments of the royal’s visit were his meeting with his father, King Charles, for the first time in 19 months and the revelation of a personal donation of £1.1million to BBC Children in Need.
Harry also revealed another £369,000 donation, through his and Meghan Markle‘s charitable organization, Archewell, to projects supporting injured children from Gaza and Ukraine.
Now, a PR expert has analyzed Harry’s return to Britain and claimed he is poised for a “full image reset” after praising his recent trip as the perfect blueprint for the future.
The expert elaborated: “In today’s climate, a royal figure staying firmly in the middle is often the smartest move, and Harry’s visit achieved that balance perfectly.”
She further noted another “big win” for the Royal was the tone of the trip, stating: “Nothing felt gloaty or self-congratulatory.
“Harry avoided the trap of making charity work about himself or making snarky remarks during speeches, etc, he just got on with it, and that’s exactly what people want to see from him.”
Ms. Smith also commended how the Royal meeting was managed, but issued a cautionary note for the immediate future.
She said, “It wasn’t dramatic, it didn’t spark gossip, and that quieter energy is exactly what he needs. If I were advising him, I’d be calling this trip a huge success; it ticked every PR box.
“Overall, this visit felt grounded, authentic and not remotely ‘influencer’. The best strategy for Harry now is slow and steady! Regular, low-key appearances that build solid foundations rather than flashy moments.
“If he can keep this up for a year or so, I’d call that a full image reset.”
A Duke representative commented on the visit: “He’s obviously loved being back in the UK, catching up with old friends and colleagues, and just generally being able to support the incredible work of the causes that mean so much to him.”
