King Charles does not seem to reverse the late Queen’s decision regarding Harry and Meghan amid reported reservations from senior royals.
Any discussion of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s return to royal duties must be handled with care to protect the institution and avoid disruption to other royal households.
Harry will have to pass his father’s test if he wants the Palace to keep its doors open to him and his family.
Royal experts and friends of Harry are calling it a plan to reverse ‘Megxit’.
But for it to succeed, the Sussexes would need to rebuild trust and reshape their public image in the country.
Sources close to the couple say the California-based Duke and Duchess are contemplating a return with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, as they seek to reconnect with Harry’s family roots in Britain.
However, the consequences of past actions present a real challenge to his return to royal life. For King Charles, the test will be whether duty and family can come together once more.
Some believe that Harry could be blind enough to choose life in the States with Meghan as he has ever wanted to be estranged from his family.
The couple’s any misstep could make their return harder. If trust is broken again, Buckingham Palace would have little choice but to keep its doors closed.
On the other hand, at 77, King Charles is unlikely to accept a ‘Hybrid’ royal role for Harry.
The move may create more division and be seen as a departure from the principles set by the late Queen Elizabeth II.
