Several rumors that Prince Harry is already formulating a "blueprint" for his return to royal life and has started talking with former friends and aides in the United Kingdom have been debunked.
A royal return is "far from his mind" for the Duke of Sussex, according to insiders who spoke to The Mirror. Any contacts with former aides and allies would be for two primary reasons, and they would not be part of a strategy to rejoin the Royal ranks. This is despite the fact that fresh allegations of a royal return have been reported this week.
It is widely believed that Prince Harry will not be making a return to the royal family unless he receives an apology from his brother, Prince William, according to sources within the royal family. The Duke of Sussex is apparently satisfied with his decision to move away from royal duties and is focused on "making a success of his life" in the United States, according to individuals who are close to him.
This is in spite of the numerous assertions that have been made this week. Despite this, it has been speculated that he would be willing to briefly go back into the Royal ring in order to provide a hand if his father, King Charles, were to urge him to do so.
After The Mirror claimed in the past that Prince William believes there is "zero chance" of a cordial welcome back for Harry following the release of his bombshell memoir, "Spare," Prince Harry's friends said that he is aware of his brother's position. Additionally, Prince William is said to be aware of his brother's stance.
Prince Harry, who is now 39 years old, made a number of accusations against his family in the book. He said that both the King and Prince William were looking for ways to escape the royal lifestyle if they could, The New York Post reported.
Even when they are in the same room, the two princes maintain their distance from one another, as was the case at the funeral of their uncle Lord Fellows, which took place in Norfolk a month ago. They have not spoken to one another in months. There were rumors going around over the weekend that Prince Harry had reached out to a handful of former trusted advisors and old acquaintances in order to discuss the possibility of creating a "blueprint" for how he may begin to reintegrate himself into the circles of the United Kingdom.
The Mirror has been informed that Prince Harry is "far from his mind" about making a return to the royal family, and that any conversations he has with former advisers would be "purely for strategic and friendly advice," and not as part of a plan to return to the royal family.
Insiders who are close to the Duke of Sussex have revealed that despite the difficulties that the Royal family has had this year, including the fact that the King and Princess Kate, Princess of Wales, have taken time off to undergo treatment for cancer, Prince Harry is still prepared to assist in any way that may be required.
Friends of Prince Harry have expressed their belief that he is resolute in his efforts to mend his relationship with his father, particularly in light of the recent health problems that his father has been experiencing.
However, as the Duke approaches his fortieth birthday the following week, it has been stated that he anticipates receiving an apology from his brother, whom he has been separated from before he would consider representing the Royal family once more.
