Prince Harry has caused a stir among the royals with his unexpected move, leaving King Charles and Prince William stunned.
The rift between Prince William and Prince Harry has deepened since the Sussexes stepped back as senior working royals and relocated to the US in 2020.
Despite recent health crises within the royal family, the brothers have failed to mend their strained relationship.
The Duke of Sussex, now distant from the Prince of Wales, has further strained relations by making a significant decision that affects the future King.
Amid King Charles and Princess Kate's battle with cancer, Prince William is reportedly "hurt and disappointed" by Harry's latest move, which signifies a further departure from royal duties.
Harry has officially changed his residential status from the UK to the US for his sustainable travel initiative, a move that has caught the attention of royal watchers.
Relationship expert Louella Alderson suggests, "Harry's focus on his new brand and career in the US indicates that repairing relationships with the Royal Family is not his top priority."
"While this decision may cause hurt and disappointment for Prince William and others, it also brings clarity and closure to the situation," Alderson adds.
Harry's significant decision sends a clear message to the royal family that his return to the UK is uncertain, if not unlikely, in the foreseeable future.
