It still isn't clear whether Harry will make the trip back across the pond for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June, particularly with his tell-all memoir in the works and set to be released later this year.Unfortunately, Mrs Schofield doesn't think there is much chance of the divide being healed as there is so much "pushback" from Harry and Meghan.
