Prince Harry’s position within the royal family remains unshakeable.
A friend of the Duke highlighted the unchanging nature of Harry’s role within the royal family: regardless of public opinion, he remains the king’s son, Prince William’s brother, and will one day be the reigning monarch’s brother.
Harry is plotting a return to his British roots, although for now he is only flying solo.
According to inside sources, the Duke of Sussex is eager to show Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet the places where he grew up in the United Kingdom, places that have so far been suspended due to the thorny security issue.
Although he was last seen in September during a long-awaited reunion with King Charles at Clarence House, Harry’s next trip this month is expected to be more business than family. He will return to prepare for his High Court trial against Associated Newspapers Limited, which is due to begin on January 19.
For the moment, Meghan Markle and the couple’s two children will remain in the United States.
A source close to Harry explained that factors such as the children’s schooling and security logistics make a full family visit “impossible” at this stage.
“But if security can be sorted out,” the source added, “it will open the door for him to bring his family and share the UK with the children.”
He wants them to see where he grew up, that’s something he’s been very clear about.
The ongoing security review has been a source of much speculation. Initial reports claimed Harry’s request was “nailed”, but government insiders have since thrown cold water on that notion.
A source involved in the proceedings said: “No one really knows what the risk management board will recommend to the Royal and VIP executive committee.
Stating that a decision has already been made seems more like media manipulation than fact. »
