Prince Harry has apparently sent a meaningful message to his father King Charles and older brother Prince William amid hopes of a reconciliation with the royal family.
Harry and Meghan stepped back from their royal roles in 2020, and made it clear they could not be “half-in, half-out”.
When the royal couple considered stepping back from their role as working royals, Harry proposed a “half in, half out” arrangement.
However, according to royal historian Hugo Vickers, the late Queen Elizabeth rejected that offer.
Instead, the monarch said Harry and Meghan should be “in or out completely”, to which Harry decided he was “reluctantly out”.
There are also claims that Harry’s father King Charles and brother William were clear in upholding the late Queen’s decision that there could be no ‘half-in, half-out’ public role for family members.’
Furthermore, Prince Harry has expressed hope for reconciliation with his family.
Meanwhile, the Duke has sent a message to his father and brother clearly rejecting any future royal role, saying he ‘doesn’t want’ a royal role following the death of their mother Princess Diana: ‘It killed my mother.’
In discussion with Australian business leader Brendan Nelson, Harry said that when his mother died “just before my 13th birthday” he felt isolated from his royal destiny as he grappled with her death and grief.
“I was like, ‘I don’t want this job. I don’t want this role – wherever it goes, I don’t like it,'” said the doting father of Archie and Lilibet.
Harry continued, “It killed my mother and I was very against it, and I buried my head in the sand for years. Eventually I realized, OK, wait, if it was someone else in this position, how would they make the most of this platform and this ability and the resources that come with it to make a change in the world?”
He added, “And also what would my mother want me to do? And that really changed my perspective.”
Prince Harry’s message appears to indicate that he does not want any future royal role and only wants reconciliation with his father King Charles and brother William.
