a part-time royal. But with Carlo… –

Prince Harry wants to return to the UK, as a ‘part-time’ royal worker and without apologising to his father, King Charles, after the accusations against the family contained in his biography ‘Spar’e. The Duke of Sussex’s ploy to achieve this would be to try to obtain “discreet royal duties”, through friends and acquaintances, rather than by turning to the sovereign. And once in Britain, he would stay there for six months, while the other six would be spent in the United States. Sources told the Mail on Sunday that Harry “is seeking advice from his old friends and associates, he is thinking of doing something different because what I am doing is clearly not working”.

Royal biographer Angela Levin added that Harry “doesn’t want to say he’s sorry” for causing the rift between himself and the royal family. Instead, she said, he will turn to all his school friends to ask them to help reunite him with the royal family. “He’ll be 40 in a couple of weeks, he’s not a child,” Levin said. “If he wants to go and talk to his dad, he can say, ‘Look, I’m really sorry.’ But he doesn’t want to do that, he wants to get money and an apology, especially from William, for how they allegedly treated Meghan.” Asked whether she thought Prince Harry would return to the UK alone, without his wife Meghan Markle, or if she would accompany him, the biographer said the duchess “hates this country” and wouldn’t return if Harry did.
