The current state of the British royal family is facing a shortage of staff. Due to health issues, two senior members, King Charles III and Princess Kate, are unable to fulfill their royal duties.
This has resulted in other members of the royal family, such as Queen Camilla and Prince William, having to take on additional responsibilities. However, with Prince William’s wife still recovering from surgery, it may be a challenge to ask him to take on even more duties.
As a result, there have been speculations about the possibility of former senior working royals, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, returning to their royal roles temporarily to assist the family.
Despite their differences, Prince Harry is still the son of the current king and the brother of the future king, making him a valuable asset to the royal family in times of need.
According to Grant Harrold, a former butler of the royal family, Prince Harry is eager to return and support his family.
However, it is unlikely that the working royals would want his help. Royal author Christopher Andersen reveals that Prince William is not willing to allow Prince Harry to return, even with the current circumstances of his father’s illness and sister-in-law’s recovery. This has resulted in a stalemate between the two brothers.
Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams also believes that the idea of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle returning to their royal roles is unlikely, as the public’s hostility towards them in Britain is significant.
It begs the question, would Prince Harry truly want to return to his life as a working royal to assist his family? And is there a possibility that Prince William would allow him to do so?
The current situation of the British royal family highlights the importance of having a strong and capable team to support the monarchy. With the absence of two senior members, it has become evident that the workload of the royal family is not easily manageable by a few individuals.
Perhaps this could lead to a reevaluation of the roles and responsibilities within the royal family, ensuring that there is always a sufficient number of members available to fulfill their duties.
