A royal expert has suggested that the royal family might be open to Prince Harry rejoining them, but without Meghan Markle by his side.
Jennie Bond, a renowned royal commentator, shared with OK! magazine her belief that the Duke of Sussex could be accepted back into the royal circle, notwithstanding the ongoing familial dispute.
"If Harry came back, leaving Meghan behind, he might eventually find forgiveness and be taken back into the royal family," said Bond.
However, she added that such an event is currently doubtful. Bond noted that people still bear fondness for the "old Harry," suggesting he might reclaim his lost ground and find acceptance over time. But, she clarified that this is far from an imminent possibility.
These views resonate with those expressed by Paul Burrell, Princess Diana's former butler. He recently hinted that the public would embrace the author of "Spare" warmly. He confidently asserted that both his father, the King, and his brother, the Prince of Wales, would welcome Harry back to the UK wholeheartedly.
Burrell stated, "We all hold an affection for Harry; his current actions, however, leave us baffled."
Grant Harrold, who served as butler to King Charles when he was Prince of Wales, also hinted at a possible shift to the UK for the estranged prince. Harrold, who worked with Charles from 2004 to 2011, expressed to The Post that a move back to his homeland might be in the cards for Harry in the future.
"Never rule out the possibility; he might yearn for home someday. He could even buy a property here if he wishes frequent visits, even if Meghan opts not to join him," Harrold, aged 45, exclusively told The Post. "With all Meghan's family residing in the States, Harry has chosen to establish his home there."
Harry and Meghan bid farewell to their royal duties in 2020 and relocated to California, only returning to the UK sporadically.
Despite such conjectures, the prospect of a royal reconciliation seems implausible at present, especially considering Harry's ongoing legal tussle with Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN). Harry is suing the corporation for alleged use of underhanded means to gather information, including hiring private investigators and phone hacking.
The Mirror Group, on the other hand, insists its coverage of the royal relied on legal methods, including documents, public statements, and sources.
