Prince Harry will not be able to play a temporary role

Prince Harry will not be able to hold a temporary royal role within the British monarchy to help his father, King Charles III, while he is being treated for cancer, due to the terms agreed upon when he officially steps down in 2020.

This is pointed out today by the ‘Telegraph’, which alludes to the information that was published ‘Time’, who assured that the Duke of Sussex was willing to resume royal duties for a time to assist the sovereign while he was ill.

Specifically, ‘Time’ indicated that Enrique and his father have maintained a “warm exchange” of messages since the king’s diagnosis was announced, with the duke – fifth in line to the British throne and a councilor of state – said to have told friends he would return to take up the post. a royal position within a monarchy temporarily to support the sovereign.

However, the ‘Telegraph’ today refers to a source who reminds that the terms which Enrique accepted in 2020 when he and his wife Meghan officially stepped down from the duties of an active member of the institution, they “remain in force”.

“These conditions were quite clear, and the illness of the king – the 75-year-old – did not change them,” he explains.

Another source included by the newspaper points out that in the palace, according to the agreement reached by the late Elizabeth II, King Charles III. and the Prince of Wales (William, the heir to the throne) for Henry’s departure from the institution. , “It is still felt” that a “hybrid model” for a royal would not be appropriate.

Information published by ‘The Times’ citing a royal source showed that Charles III is in favor of reconciliation with his best son, with whom he has maintained a distant relationship in recent years, and believes that he will do so for the good of the monarchy.

“On all practical levels, it makes perfect sense for the family to come together to support the king when he is ill,” he said.

In a recent interview that the duke gave a American television showhe suggested that his father’s illness might lead to a reconciliation.

The King’s youngest son flew to London last day 6 without his wife Meghannor his two children, Archie, 4, and Lilibet, 2, to visit their father, whom he met for less than an hour at the Clarence House residence before the king left for his country residence in Sandringham (Eastern England).

During that short trip, the Duke did not meet his older brother William, Prince of Wales and heir to the throne, with whom he barely maintains a relationship today.
