Speculations abound regarding Prince Harry's potential return to the royal family, yet hurdles of trust may impede his reinstatement, experts suggest.
Despite rumors circulating about Harry's contemplation of rejoining the royal fold, experts caution against immediate expectations of reconciliation, citing deep-rooted issues that may take years to resolve.
Since stepping down from their royal duties in 2020, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been at odds with the royal establishment, engaging in various forms of public critique, including television interviews, documentaries, and a memoir.
Newsweek's royal correspondent, Jack Royston, asserts that reconciliation between Harry and the royal family may not be imminent due to a profound "lack of trust." Royston contends that Prince Charles and Prince William perceive Harry's actions as betrayals, particularly during moments of familial grief, such as Prince Philip's and the Queen's passing.
Ingrid Seward, another royal expert, echoes this sentiment, emphasizing the challenges in restoring normalcy despite King Charles' "especially close" relationship with Harry. Seward reminisces about Harry's shared interests with Charles, such as exploring Highgrove's gardens and engaging in equestrian pursuits.
However, she acknowledges the complexities involved in rebuilding trust and suggests that Harry's attempts at reconciliation may face significant obstacles.
While Harry extends an olive branch, experts caution that healing familial rifts will require time, sincere efforts, and a willingness to address underlying issues from all parties involved.
