Slim Odds for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Return to Royal Duties

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are facing yet another hurdle as bookmakers have unveiled the slim chances of their return to royal duties this year, estimating the probability at a mere 0.1%.

Since their departure from royal obligations and relocation to the United States in 2020, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have maintained a strained relationship with the royal family.

Their string of explosive revelations, interviews, the Netflix docuseries “Harry and Meghan,” Harry's Memoir “Spare,” and connections to individuals critical of the monarchy have only added fuel to the ongoing tensions.

Speculation arose regarding a potential reconciliation following Prince Harry's prompt return to the UK after King Charles's unexpected diagnosis in February.

Discussions surrounding the monarchy's streamlined operations hinted at the Duke's possible involvement in royal engagements during his father's cancer treatment.

However, experts at Casinos.com have cast doubt on the likelihood of Harry and Meghan's return, predicting that they are unlikely to resume their royal duties in the UK.

The couple's odds of returning this year were placed at 1,000 to 1, translating to a mere 0.1% probability, ranking lower even than Prince Andrew's odds of 9 to 1, equating to a 10% chance of a comeback.

Colin Phelan, an odds maker at Casinos.com, expressed skepticism, stating, “We anticipate that despite Harry's willingness to assist, both King Charles and Prince William will likely decline to reinstate him and Meghan.”

Meanwhile, the chances of Harry appearing at the upcoming major royal event, the Trooping of the Colour, this summer stand at 9 to 1, or 10%.

Additionally, there is speculation that Prince William may remove Prince Harry from the line of succession, with odds of 1 in 3, representing a 75% probability, while Meghan enrolling Prince Archie in private school this May is highly probable at 99%.

Furthermore, experts have suggested that Meghan might share untold stories from her time within the royal family on a new podcast after striking a deal with Lemonada Media, with odds of 9 to 5, or a 35% probability.

Reports indicate that Prince Harry reached out to Prince William before his recent visit to the UK following King Charles III's cancer diagnosis, but the Prince of Wales reportedly rebuffed Harry's attempt at reconciliation, thwarting his hopes of rejoining the royal fold.

Royal biographer Catherine Mayer emphasized the deep familial rift, describing it as a profound fracture that remains unhealed.

During his brief 24-hour visit to the UK, Harry spent just half an hour with his father, amidst suggestions that Queen Camilla deliberately joined the meeting.

A source close to the royal household lamented the lack of interaction, highlighting that it would have been customary to spend more time with family members under normal circumstances.

Royal biographer Ingrid Seward noted that while King Charles desires Harry's return and reconciliation with William, he acknowledges the slim chances of such a reunion materializing.

Recent reports indicate that Harry regrets divulging the royal family's secrets in the explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey.

Royal author Tom Quinn revealed that Harry did not anticipate the negative reception to the tell-all interview and was remorseful for his actions.

Quinn disclosed, “Harry does regret the Oprah interview because it didn't yield the outcome he and Meghan desired.

Their friends misled them into believing the world would embrace their truth, but instead, they faced widespread mockery, criticism, and estrangement from the royal family.”

Harry finds himself in Montecito missing his family, despite their flaws, with no clear path back to the life he once knew before meeting Meghan.
