King Charles III may be prepared to break Queen Elizabeth’s ‘rule’ about her grandson, Prince Harry, and his bride, Meghan Markle.
As we all know, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex resigned as senior royals in 2020 after being subjected to intense media scrutiny by British tabloids, with Markle bearing the brunt of continuous racially motivated criticism.
They have now migrated to the United States, where they are now raising Charles’ grandsons, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
Harry has previously announced that he would never bring his family back to the UK unless he can guarantee full police protection in a bombshell interview about his relationship with his father and fellow royal family members.
However, according to a royal source quoted by RealityTea, Charles may strike a ‘part-time royal’ agreement with the Sussexes.
It is possible that the couple may perform certain royal tasks while keeping their commercial freedom.
According to the site, such a move could stem from Charles’ health difficulties, as he is now undergoing cancer treatment following a diagnosis in 2024. Buckingham Palace has yet to reveal which sort of cancer it is.
While Charles maintains a full work schedule despite continuing to receive weekly cancer treatments, a large portion of his workload has been delegated to the successor to the throne, Prince William.
And, if Charles dies, William is next in line, which means Harry’s homecoming could help his older brother with his rising duties.
It ‘isn’t about feelings’, an aide reportedly told Rob Shuter. “It’s about survival,” they added.
It’s worth noting that Shuter’s allegation that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were “stung” by an Oprah joke about their ‘Sussex’ surname last week was proven untrue.
However, a spokesman for the Sussexes said it was ‘categorically false’ that the pair was annoyed by Oprah.
However, such a verdict appears to contradict the late Queen’s beliefs.
“You’re either in or out,” she reportedly declared in 2020.
An insider also reportedly mentioned that the late Queen might have seen Charles’ decision as a ‘betrayal’ – speculation which is totally unfounded.
Shuter also quoted another source, who speculated over Charles’ possible intention behind his youngest son’s ‘part-time’ return as a royal.
“He needs their global star power to keep the monarchy relevant,” they said.
Tyla has reached out to Buckingham Palace for comment on Shuter’s claims.
