Prince Harry, Meghan Markle ‘still hope’ they will be asked back to be working royals: ‘They are kidding themselves’
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly hoping for a temporary return into the royal fold — but “on their own terms.”The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are said to have expressed interest in helping out with royal duties while King Charles III and Kate Middleton undergo their respective cancer treatments.However, according to royal expert and author Tom Quinn, it’s unlikely that the royals will have the Sussexes return.“Both Meghan and Harry still hope that at some point they might be asked back to become working royals on their own terms — it’s a rapidly shrinking possibility, but the couple have talked about this at length and the fact that senior royal numbers are seriously down at the moment has rekindled their hopes,” he told the Mirror.“As I understand it from palace contacts, they are kidding themselves if they think they will be invited back in any way.” The Post revealed in February that Charles has been toying with the idea of having Harry back on a temporary basis, despite the Duke being kept at arm’s length from ongoing succession talks.But it soon emerged that Prince William was reportedly “blocking” Harry’s return to the royal fold in a desperate bid to protect his ailing wife.Elsewhere, royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams said the royal family’s health woes could provide the “perfect opportunity” to mend the royal rift.“This is a dread situation, a major operation followed by cancer,” he told the Sun.
