Duke of Sussex reportedly reconnects with King Charles as "California experiment" falters.
Prince Harry may be planning a return to the royal fold, signalling a significant shift in his life with Meghan Markle as their professional paths continue to diverge.
The Duke of Sussex has reportedly re-established communication with his father, King Charles, offering a potential surprise amid the monarch’s ongoing cancer battle. According to royal commentator Maureen Callahan, Harry appears to be “manoeuvring his way back into the royal fold” through subtle but intentional steps.
Speaking on Kinsey Schofield's YouTube channel, Callahan noted, “There’s a definite soft launch here. Harry is not currently working with Meghan professionally, and their emotional connection seems strained as they operated independently throughout 2024.”
Reports suggest Harry has even shelved an additional chapter planned for the paperback release of Spare, hinting at his reassessment of the “California experiment,” which some observers have labelled an "abject failure."
Meghan Markle, meanwhile, is said to be “taking a back seat” in their shared brand, focusing on her role as a mother to Archie and Lilibet. Insiders claim Meghan feels her influence over their marriage and public image is waning.
As Harry and Meghan’s professional separation looks set to continue into 2025, the Sussex brand’s struggles could drive further individual pursuits, potentially paving the way for Harry’s closer involvement with the Royal Family.
