If Prince Harry thinks he can simply turn the clock back to 2020 and slip back into the Royal fold, he has another thing coming. Sources claim Harry, 41, has been encouraged regarding his future relationship with the Royal Family following his trip to the UK in July with his wife Meghan Markle, and children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
For Harry the trip was vital as he seeks to nail down the Royal Family into setting in stone a potential new draft of the ‘half-in-half-out/commercially-working royal’ deal he was refused in 2020 by the late Queen Elizabeth II. That deal snub sparked Megxit and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to seek revenge in a shameless take-down of their own relatives in TV interviews and books – all for money.
Last month – after much negotiation on both sides – King Charles and Queen Camilla met Harry and his family privately at Highgrove, after assurances that the Sussexes would not run off to cash-in on the meeting afterwards.
A new staffing change on the horizon has also encouraged Harry into thinking he will finally get what he wants: to work as a royal in the UK but make money based on his status when abroad.
It has just been revealed that King Charles and Queen Camilla’s longtime principal private secretary, Sir Clive Alderton, will finally be leaving his position in May 2027.
In his memoir Spare, Sir Clive was reportedly depicted as ‘The Wasp’ – a “charming,” “weedy,” and “arrogant” courtier capable of putting you on his hit list if you ever crossed him.
Most of all, are they even capable of being discreet? They have monetised private conversations by teasing about them on TV or plainly publishing them in full in Harry’s memoir Spare.
How can the Royal Family trust a couple when any conversation could appear in print or social media later, for a profit, because of the Sussexes’ desperate need and desire to make dosh?
These four steps may sound a simple move – but could be an impossible path to walk.
