Prince Harry has revealed his desperation to return to the United Kingdom after rejecting the label of “not a working royal”.
For those unaware, the Duke of Sussex made a surprise visit to Ukraine for a day on April 24, where he reaffirmed his place in the British royal family after stepping back from his royal duties and relocating to the United States with his wife Meghan Markle in 2020.
while chatting with itv “I will always be a part of the royal family and I’m here to stay and do what I was born to do. I enjoy doing it,” Harry said in the Ukrainian city of Bucha.
He quipped, “I enjoy doing these trips and supporting the people I’ve met before, the friends I’ve made.”
Analyzing the Duke of Sussex’s comments, Rafe Hadel-Mancu, a royal commentator, pointed out gb News that Harry’s statement revealed he is “desperate to return to the royal family.”
He further said, “The more he is distanced and cut off from the monarchy, the more his relevance is diminishing. That is why he is carrying out these fake ‘royal’ activities.”
“It’s the only thing he knows how to do in civilian life; it’s the best way to attract media attention and ultimately, I suspect he hopes it will somehow open the way for him to return to the royal family,” the author explained.
Heydell-Manku highlighted that Harry, who once claimed to be “not a working royal”, is “creating his own version of royal engagement.”
However, their efforts “do not make them working royals – especially not when these trips are designed as well as commercial operations for personal financial gain.”
“Queen Elizabeth and King Charles’ position is very clear: if the Sussexes wish to pursue private commercial ventures, they can never become members of the royal family,” Heddle-Mancu said.
It is noteworthy that Prince Harry’s surprise visit to Ukraine has already started a debate as he, while speaking at the Security Forum in Kiev, Ukraine, directly asked Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the ongoing war.
