Prince Harry is “running out of time” to rejoin the Royal Family and needs to act while King Charles is still on the throne, according to a royal expert.

Richard Eden, the Daily Mail’s Diary Editor, suggests that Harry would need to make this decision while his 75-year-old father is in power, as his brother Prince William may not be as accommodating.

Eden believes that Harry was initially included in the King’s plan for a “slimmed-down monarchy”, with the expectation that the younger prince would continue public engagements with his family.

 However, in 2020, Harry and Meghan Markle decided to step back from their roles as working royals and relocated to Montecito, California.

Speaking on the Palace Confidential podcast, Eden stated: “If Harry wants to come back at any stage, he needs to do it while his father is still King because I really do think that when Prince William is King, would he even take the calls from his brother? ” He added: “Can you imagine? I really can’t see him letting Harry come back and have a role again, they are irrelevant now, they are not wanted as part of the monarchy.”

When asked by host Jo Elvin if it’s a case of “never say never” because Harry and William are family, Eden responded that it would require a “radical change” for William to welcome his brother back into the royal fold. The relationship between Harry and William has reportedly deteriorated over the years, with a series of misunderstandings leading to the current ‘feud’.

Tensions between Princes William and Harry reportedly started back in 1998 when they were students at Eton, with William wanting to keep his distance from Harry. In the bombshell memoir ‘Spare’, Harry reveals that William instructed him to pretend they didn’t know each other, reports the Express.

The rift apparently deepened over time, with Harry disclosing in his book that William cautioned him against rushing into marriage with Meghan, calling it “too fast” and “too soon”. The situation intensified, according to Harry, when a dispute about Meghan in 2019 led to William physically attacking him, grabbing his collar and throwing him to the ground.

The Royal drama hit a peak in 2020 when Harry and Meghan dramatically stepped back from their Royal duties. While Harry has made a few visits back to the UK, it’s been suggested that Meghan might not set foot on British soil again.
