Prince Harry Has a Shot at Someday Representing the Royal Family Again if He ‘Gradually’ Does This, According to a Biographer: ‘It’s a ‘Never Say Never’ Situation’

<p id="par-1_56"><a href=" Harry</a> carrying out official <a href=" on behalf of the royal family again</a>? As unrealistic as the idea may sound to some, it seems it’s not <em>entirely</em> out of the question. According to a royal biographer, despite <em>Spare</em> and leaving royal life behind in 2020, the Duke of Sussex could someday find himself doing just that. </p>

<h2 id="h-normalizing-visits-to-the-u-k-is-a-step-toward-representing-the-royal-family-again-for-harry">‘Normalizing’ visits to the U.K. is a step toward representing the royal family again for Harry</h2>

<p id="par-2_24">Harry visited England only a handful of times in 2023. Among them was a <a href=" court appearance</a> and his father, King Charles III’s coronation.  </p>

<p id="par-3_27">Royal author Robert Hardman believes that’s one thing that would have to change were Harry to someday find himself doing the occasional appearance for the royal family. </p>

<p id="par-4_66">Speaking to <a href=" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em>Newsweek</em></a>, Hardman said he does believe Harry, along with his wife, <a href=" Markle</a>, could carry out royal duties from time to time. Although it’s probably going to a while for them to reach that point.<br><br>“Someone said to me today,” Hardman told the outlet, “‘could this be the moment with the royal work shortage, for Harry to step in?’ But it doesn’t work like that.” </p>

<p id="par-5_19">The comment came after news of <a href=" Charles’s enlarged prostate treatment</a> and <a href=" Middleton’s hospitalization</a> due to abdominal surgery. </p>

<p id="par-6_22">“What would probably help move towards [sic] that situation is if he gradually started having a sort of normalizing,” the author explained. </p>

<p id="par-7_40">“Suddenly it’s not such a big deal if Harry and Meghan are <a href=" over to the U.K.</a> privately with their children and having a playdate with their cousins,” he went on, referring to Prince Archie, 4, and Princess Lilibet, 2. </p>

<p id="par-8_50">“A lot of families go through these things, and they don’t have to have it all scrutinised [sic] endlessly by the likes of you and me,” Hardman added. “I don’t pretend to be close to the Sussexes at all. But, from what I glean, it’s a ‘never say never’ situation.”</p>

<p id="par-9_15">As for Harry and <a href=" William</a>, he noted, “It’s going to be a trickier rapprochement.” </p>

<h2>Harry has to ask himself if he wants to ‘reengage’ with the royal family</h2>

<p id="par-10_17">Before booking more flights to the U.K., Harry would have to do something else, according to Hardman. </p>

<p id="par-11_33">The 39-year-old would have to ask himself a key question, namely if he wants to get involved with the ins and outs of representing the royal family and everything that comes with it. </p>

<p id="par-12_50">“For Harry, it’s a different order of magnitude because, does he want to reengage with his family?” Hardman asked. “Charles would love to have him back in the fold, not being royal again — I think that ship has sailed. And I’m sure Harry would not want to do that.”</p>

<p id="par-13_17">Whereas King Charles is, as the biographer opined, likely to someday mend the ongoing rit with Harry. </p>

<p id="par-14_39">“Yes, in some way I do,” <em>The Making of a King</em> author said. “I don’t know how and when. Certainly, on this side of the Atlantic, the door is always open, and there’s so much other stuff going on.”</p>

<h2>Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have sent their ‘support’ to King Charles and Kate Middleton amid hospitalizations </h2>

<p id="par-16_41">“The King and the Princess of Wales have received support from Prince Harry and Meghan regarding their health,” a source told the outlet. “The Duke and Duchess contacted both parties in different ways to pass on their concern and best wishes.”</p>
