Prince Harry, 40, is reportedly eager to return to royal duties and wants his children, Archie and Lilibet, to have the freedom to choose whether or not they follow in his footsteps. A close source revealed, “He wants back in and he wants Archie and Lilibet to be able to choose for themselves if they return to royal duties.”
However, a palace source has dismissed Harry’s hopes, stating, “He is absolutely mad if he thinks he can get his children back into the royal fold as working royals as a way of getting back into their bosom. He’s found it incredibly difficult finding his way in America and just wants to go home. But his actions and memoir have made that an impossibility.”
The ongoing royal rift has taken a new turn with reports of passport applications being filed for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s children, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4. The documents reportedly include their HRH titles and the surname Sussex, hinting at the possibility of the young royals keeping their options open for the future.
While Harry and Meghan stepped away from their royal duties five years ago, the latest developments suggest that they are not ruling out a return to the royal fold for their children. The couple has been living in the United States and have rarely looked back at their royal life, but the recent passport applications indicate a potential shift in their stance.
The royal family’s response to Harry’s desire to rejoin royal duties remains uncertain, with tensions still lingering from his and Meghan’s decision to step back from their roles. Despite the challenges they have faced in America, Harry’s hopes of returning to the royal fold may face significant obstacles given the fallout from his actions and upcoming memoir.
As the saga continues to unfold, the world watches with bated breath to see how the royal family and Prince Harry navigate the complexities of their relationship and the future of the monarchy. Only time will tell if Harry’s dreams of returning to royal duties will come to fruition.
