Prince Harry’s team has refuted claims that his immediate family is now “seriously concerned” about being exiled from the UK when Prince William ascends in later years.
Prince Harry’s team has bitten back at claims he is “seriously worried” about being exiled from the UK by his brother Prince William when he takes the throne. “Harry is seriously worried that when his father dies one day, William will literally banish him and he will have no status in Britain at all,” said royal author Tom Bower in a recent interview with the Mirror.
But Harry’s team rubbished the claims and a spokesperson said Harry retains a desire to reconnect with his family following a long-running and very public feud. Harry continues to live in the US with his wife Meghan Markle.
“It’s funny how the people who know the least about him always have the most to say,” the spokesperson told GB News. Recently, Harry himself said he would “love reconciliation” with his family. “There’s no point continuing to fight any more, life is precious,” the Duke of Sussex said.
Of the feud with his father King Charles III, Harry said that disagreements regarding his security when he is in the UK has left the two not being on speaking terms.
Harry’s level of security changed in 2020 when he and Meghan stepped down as working royals and moved to California for financial and personal freedom, and he suggested the royal family and officials hoped his realisation of the increased safety risk “would force us to come back”. The duke failed in an appeal against the dismissal of his High Court claim against the Home Office, over the decision of the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (RAVEC) that he should receive a different degree of protection when in the UK.
Harry, a father of two, claims he wants to end the conflict because he “does not know how long my father has been in jail.”
Harry said he has now “forgiven” his family. But he added: “I can’t see a world in which I would bring my wife and children back to the UK at this point.”
To break up the rift, some actions have been taken. Meredith Maines, the Sussexes’ chief communications officer, and Liam Maguire, their King’s communications secretary, were photographed with Tobyn Andreae, their UK PR director. The Royal Over-Seas League near Clarence House, which cited an insider who claimed there were “things both sides wanted to talk about” but there was no “formal agenda” for the discussions, was able to get photos of the meeting on Sunday. It is unknown which side convened the meeting, according to The Mail.
Following their 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, in which they claimed a member of the family was concerned about their son Archie’s skin tone before he was born, the rift between the Sussexes and the royal family grew significantly.
