In light of King Charles and Princess Kate’s cancer diagnoses, the Duke of Sussex is reportedly “eager to return to London” to help “take up some of the slack” as the royal family struggles financially.
Author of The King: The Life of Charles III, Christopher Andersen, stated in an exclusive interview with HELLO! Canada that Prince Harry is excited to return to the UK for the Invictus Games celebration next month, and that he thinks Harry would be amenable to the idea of working as a part-time royal.
The author told HELLO! Canada contributor Chris Daniels, “In fact, he’s eager to return to London and help take up some of the slack now that the medical issues of the King and the Princess of Wales have thrown the monarchy into a state of crisis.”
Furthermore, he thinks it would be best for the King to give the Duke and Duchess of Sussex the part-time positions they had initially requested.
“If they could all put these perceived slights and resentments behind them, Harry and Meghan could be hugely valuable assets to the monarchy at a time when it could use all the help it can get.”
Harry may be prepared for reconciliation, but his closest relatives may not be.
After learning of the King’s cancer diagnosis in February, Harry flew to the UK and spent just 45 minutes with his father. He also requested to see his brother, “but William refused,” according to Christopher, who believes that “bitterness” has persisted between the brothers ever since Harry published his take-no-prisoners memoir Spare in 2023.
Remember that while his father and wife deal with their grave medical conditions, the Prince of Wales has the heavy burden of keeping the monarchy and his family intact.

“He just lacks the capacity to handle the burden that Harry invariably carries with him.
“Having the ‘spare’ back in the royal fold would simply be an enormous distraction, despite his good intentions.”
