Recent reports indicate that Prince Harry, who stepped back from royal duties and relocated to the U.S. four years ago, is contemplating leaving his American life behind to return to the UK in hopes of mending his relationship with his father. Sources suggest that he has been reaching out to former advisors back in the UK and sending messages of reconciliation to old friends via WhatsApp. These friends are reportedly supportive of his initiative, informally dubbed “Operation Bring Harry Back from the Cold.” Some have even suggested that he reconnect with his former private secretary, Fiona, to spearhead efforts for his return.
Media reports highlight that Harry is actively seeking guidance from trusted individuals, with at least one advisor described as “old-school,” known for their loyalty and discretion. A friend has proposed a potential strategy for him: if Harry returns to the UK quietly, avoids publicity, and engages in everyday activities, he might be able to win back public support. This same friend has also suggested ways for Harry to reintegrate into British society, even recommending that he might take on “very low-profile royal duties.” It seems Harry is open to exploring a range of suggestions as he navigates this complex situation.
After a series of high-profile interviews, documentaries, and the release of his memoir detailing his experiences within the royal family, Harry is preparing to publish a paperback edition of “Spare” this October. He has chosen not to update the content or engage in promotional efforts, which could be interpreted as a sign of his desire for reconciliation. However, the question remains whether his past actions have caused irreparable damage to his relationships.
In another development, there are indications that King Charles may be willing to heal the rift with Harry, even engaging in discussions about forgiveness with religious leaders. Conversely, Harry’s relationship with his brother William is reportedly at an all-time low, as demonstrated by their recent attendance at their uncle’s memorial service where they maintained their distance and did not interact.
Additionally, Harry and Meghan have recently parted ways with their American PR consultant, Christine Weil Schirmer, who joined their team in 2020 but quietly left at the end of last year. Over the past three years, it has been reported that ten staff members have sought to leave the duo’s team. An insider disclosed, “Harry is distancing himself from Hollywood PR experts and is instead looking for advice from old friends and acquaintances. He clearly understands that ‘I need to do something different because what I’m doing isn’t working,’ so he’s rethinking his approach.”
