The youngest son of King Charles launched strong statements that put him between a rock and a hard place.
Prince Harry faces limitations on temporarily playing a royal role in the British monarchy and assisting his father, King Charles, during his cancer treatment, due to the terms set when he left office in 2020.
Although the Duke of Sussex expressed his willingness to resume royal duties and even consider applying for American citizenship, obtaining it could mean giving up his place in the line of succession to the British throne, which would generate an unprecedented crisis in the country.
Specialists in international law explain that the only way in which Harry would retain his royal title would be through the granting of honorary citizenship by the American authorities, which would be an exception to the usual regulations.
The previous agreement between the late Queen Elizabeth, King Charles and Prince William for the departure of the British leader's second son establishes that a "hybrid model" for a member of royalty would not be appropriate, which further limits the possibilities of active intervention of the Prince in the monarchy.
Meanwhile, King Charles continues his cancer treatment, although no official statement has been issued by Buckingham Palace. His return to London from Sandringham marks a milestone in his fight against the disease, although the specific nature of the cancer has not been publicly revealed.
