Royal Panel Discusses Harry’s Return to the UK and the Lingering Family Rift

In a captivating discussion, our royal panel consisting of Sarah Hewson and Esther Krakow delved into the latest developments surrounding Prince Harry's return to the UK and the ongoing family rift.

The panelists shared their insights on the possibility of a summit and offered their perspectives on the situation.

Sarah Hewson began by highlighting that Prince Harry is indeed making his way back to the UK.

However, she expressed skepticism about the chances of a resolution to the family rift at this time.

On the eve of the Queen's death anniversary, Harry will be in London to attend the Wellchild Awards, an event for which he was originally scheduled last year but had to cancel due to the Queen's passing.

While Harry will be in London, his father, the King, will remain in Balmoral, Scotland.

Sarah emphasized that it seems highly unlikely for Harry and his brother, William, to have a meet-up given these circumstances.

Furthermore, as Harry returns to the UK, he finds himself without a permanent residence since he had to surrender the keys to Frogmore Cottage.

This humbling turn of events necessitates him seeking permission from Buckingham Palace for access to an apartment on one of the Royal Estates.

Alternatively, he may opt to book a hotel or stay with a friend.

This situation starkly highlights the vast gulf that exists between Harry and his family.

Esther Krakow chimed in, sharing her perspective on the matter.

She expressed her belief that the rift is unlikely to be resolved in the near future, which she considers unfortunate.

Esther particularly emphasized the impact on the children involved, as they are effectively disconnected from one side of their family and their identity.

She found it peculiar that the Sussexes insisted on giving their children titles associated with an institution they are estranged from.

This decision raises questions about the reasoning behind it.

Esther also noted that Prince William remains deeply upset by the revelations in Harry's book, “Spare,” which contained highly inflammatory content.

On the other hand, King Charles appears to be more sympathetic toward his son.

He even extended an invitation to Harry for his coronation, indicating his underlying hope for some form of reconciliation.

However, Esther concluded that she sees no immediate prospect of such a reconciliation occurring.

As the panel discussion drew to a close, it became evident that the family rift between Prince Harry and his relatives remains unresolved.

Despite King Charles' desire for reconciliation and the potential for a summit, the current circumstances and lingering tensions suggest that a resolution may not be forthcoming in the short term.

The impact on the children and the wider implications of their titles further complicate the situation.
