Speculation is rife that Prince Harry might encounter further estrangement from the British royal family, particularly with King Charles III reportedly considering excluding him from his will amid his undisclosed battle with cancer.
Having ascended to the throne in September 2022, King Charles III is facing a condition that claims millions of lives annually, prompting discussions regarding succession planning. The potential exclusion of Prince Harry from the will, a legal document outlining the deceased's wishes, is significant, especially considering the strained relationship between his sons, Prince William and Prince Harry.
According to sources, Queen Camila and Prince William are adamant about not allowing the Sussexes back into the royal fold. They are urging King Charles III not to include Harry in any royal inheritance, viewing the Sussexes as greedy fame seekers who cannot be trusted. William is purportedly committed to safeguarding the monarchy at all costs, even if it means distancing himself from his brother. As the next in line for the British throne, Prince William stands to inherit the bulk of King Charles's amassed wealth, following the precedent set by Charles's inheritance from the late Queen Elizabeth II.
William anticipates inheriting a diverse array of valuable assets, including prestigious properties like Balmoral Castle and the Sandringham Estate, with respective valuations of $140 million and $65 million. Tradition dictates that William will also inherit a rich assortment of personal possessions from his father, including priceless artwork steeped in generational history. Additionally, he will assume oversight of a substantial portfolio of assets and properties overseen by the Crown Estate, becoming the principal beneficiary of the Sovereign Grant, an annual taxpayer-funded allocation designated for the British royal family.
Since departing royal life and relocating to America to raise their children, the Sussexes have spoken out several times about their experiences within the royal fold. A noticeable rift between the Sussexes and the monarchy has emerged, fueled by their television interviews, Netflix documentaries, and bombshell books. A public relations expert specializing in royal commentary has weighed in on the likelihood of the Sussexes returning to royal life amid King Charles III and Princess of Wales's cancer treatments.
It's doubtful that Meghan and Harry will return to the royal family as working royals, even with King Charles III and Kate undergoing cancer treatment, according to Caro from Pressbox PR. She noted that the monarchy is currently being led by Camila, a scenario that seemed unlikely a few years ago. Prince Edward and Sophie, favorites of the late Queen Elizabeth, have increased their support for the queen, while Princess Anne continues to undertake numerous public engagements, especially during her brother's illness.
The bridges between Harry and Meghan and the royal family seem irreparably burned in terms of their return as working members. The family doubts their trustworthiness and rules out the possibility of them working part-time as royals while splitting their time between the UK and America. Despite Harry's attempts to mend familial relationships, past public arguments and deep-seated rifts pose significant obstacles to their reinstatement as working royals.
