As Prince Harry, fifth in line to the throne, finds himself increasingly sidelined from royal affairs, it appears that his role within the monarchy may diminish further.
Despite Prince Harry's gesture of visiting his cancer-stricken father, King Charles, in a personal capacity following the monarch's diagnosis, his attempts to mend familial rifts may not translate into a formal royal role.
During a brief 30-minute meeting with his father, Prince Harry expressed his commitment to spending more time with his family, hinting at a potential return to the UK for work commitments.
Speculation arose that Prince Harry might extend his stay to assist with royal duties while King Charles undergoes treatment and Kate Middleton recuperates from planned surgery.
Reports suggest that Prince Harry harbors a desire to repair relations with the royal family and has considered offering his assistance with limited royal duties. However, sources close to Prince William refute this possibility, asserting that the Prince of Wales is unlikely to welcome his estranged brother back into the royal fold.
"There is a carefully devised contingency plan in place should the king's health impede his ability to fulfill public engagements in the coming months, and Prince Harry is not part of these arrangements," a reliable source informed Vanity Fair.
As Prince Harry navigates his evolving relationship with the monarchy, the prospect of a significant return to royal duties remains uncertain.
