Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s potential return to royal duties: Is a six-month plan in the works?

The Duke and Dutchess of Sussex are expected to be visit the UK in late spring.

Amidst speculations and rumors swirling around Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, recent reports suggest a potential return to the UK as part-time royals, with a supposed “six-month” plan on the cards. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who made headlines with their decision to step back from royal duties in 2020, may be contemplating a strategic comeback to bolster their brand amidst concerns over waning public interest.

Royal expert Tom Quinn shed light on the couple’s purported plans, emphasizing the significance of maintaining a working royal angle to sustain the appeal of brand Sussex. With the late Queen Elizabeth’s vision of a “half in, half out” arrangement for the Sussexes, hopes were pinned on King Charles adopting a more lenient stance.

However, uncertainties loom large, especially given King Charles’s reported disapproval of the couple’s retention of royal titles post-transition.
Despite the obstacles, Prince Harry’s recent efforts to mend fences with the royal family, particularly amidst King Charles’s battle with cancer, hint at a potential thaw in relations. His symbolic visit to Clarence House in February, marking a fleeting yet significant moment of reconciliation with his father, suggests tentative steps towards healing familial rifts.

However, challenges persist, including legal battles over security arrangements during his visits to the UK. Despite setbacks in court rulings, experts affirm Prince Harry’s determination to prioritize familial ties, undeterred by security concerns. As discussions swirl around the Sussexes’ potential return, anticipation mounts over their involvement in significant royal events, including the commemoration of the Invictus Games at St Paul’s Cathedral in late spring.
