Harry wants to come back and ‘help’

[Gottseidank]

Harry “is willing to return to a temporary royal role in support of his father during his illness, sources have revealed. In an attempt to help heal the rift in the family, the King and Prince Harry are said to have had several “warm ­exchanges” since Charles ­received his cancer diagnosis.
The duke is now understood to have told friends that he would step into a royal role while his father is unwell.”

I read a few ‘articles’ in the express about the RF. Not sure how much is true. This one is a rehash from last February but I missed it back then. A member of the public asked the King to bring back Harry. KC replied “It would be nice.”

No one has mentioned the obvious fact. If Harry comes back, what is Meghan going to do? What about the children? She doesn’t want to be here. Their kids are American. It’s a nonsense. It’s all manufactured bullshit

I don’t think we can read anything into that at all.

He had to say something after asking “who?” and he couldn’t really say “god no, never” out loud in public!

I have this vision:-

“that would be nice” 😬

I read it more as a man, who is sad that it isn’t possible for a number of reasons and felt sad for Charles rather than an expectation it would be possible.

@wordler - I agree about Harry’s “Africa”. White Mischief all the way!

The Heritage Fund visa thing will come to nothing, but the squirming is amusing to watch. So “Spare” is fiction? All of it? Or just the bits that would suit Harry to be fiction now?

I thought Spare was billed as Harry’s honest story ? Are we now to believe it was exaggerated/ made up purely to shift copies ??

Well if the Biden Administration says Spare is a work of fiction, who are we to disagree with them? They can't pick and choose, if the drugs are a lie, then the rest can go under the same scrutiny.

I really want Harry to stay in the US with his wife and children, and I doubt anything will come of the case, but it is very amusing.

The two of them would win awards for backtracking, lying, twisting the truth to suit their agenda. Why anyone at all wants to listen to them I don't know.

Well if the Biden Administration says Spare is a work of fiction, who are we to disagree with them?

Does that mean someone else's work now becomes the fastest selling non fiction book since records began? ☕

I know I am only going by the media but there is a suggestion H could have been given a diplomatic visa rather than a standard one.

If that is the case it could be why he is pushing so hard to get RAVEC to make him an IPP.

The article says:

"The monarch then provided a blunt four-word response before quickly moving on, as he said: "It would be nice." "

So hardly misty-eyed enthusiasm.

I predict that Harry will eventually be more involved with his family and Meghan will be busy at home and not make it over. He absolutely has to be homesick in so many ways.

I just can’t see Meghan wanting to spend time in UK again though and certainly not willing to do the groveling and apologizing that would be required to put her back at neutral with Will and Kate.

What family though? William and Kate won’t entertain him ever again, Harry hates Camilla so Charles would spend limited time with Harry if any, the Tindalls loyalties appear to be with Will and Kate, Princess Anne would give him short shrift, Edward and Sophie wouldn’t be interested, so that leaves the York’s, there is plenty of room at Royal Lodge so bed and breakfast it is with Uncle Andy.

I do agree with the assessment to a point. But there will be more to their relationships than that, I’m sure they all miss each other in their own way. He’s given one dimensional exaggerated versions of his relationships to make his hard done by point but it won’t reflect reality. Once the petulance has worn off I’m sure he’ll remember that h had good times with them too.

I have the impression that tales of Harry’s mistreatment have been greatly exaggerated.

Given that Biden has a son who has done much much worse than Harry with respect to drug use, it would be bizarre for his administration to allow Harry to be exposed.

Of course there is more to the relationships, however once your brother has sold you out for money and on the world stage time and time again and named your wife and father as racists I doubt many people could build bridges after that, the trust is forever broken I doubt it can ever be rebuilt.

But his tales of exaggerated mistreatment are one side of the coin. He has undoubtedly mistreated his family over the past few years with what he's said about them in the most public and salacious of manners. Particularly his brother and sister in law, who hold the keys any future he wants back in the royal fold. William may have brotherly love for him. But Catherine? She's been the focus of some absolutely viscous character assassinations, based on nothing more than being a reserved person who is good at her job (portrayed in the Sussex circles as being a dullard, in a loveless arranged marriage and being a Stepford wife). Why would any woman forgive that sort of misogyny against them?

Oh and yes, of course, the unsubstantiated claims of Catherine the racist. The Sussexes are happily letting that hang over her head right now. They haven't countered the Scobie narrative. Who would forgive that?

Harry will feel the emotional distance over time.

To date he has been buoyed up with the excitement of his marriage, birth of his children, escape from UK and RF expectations, lure of exciting and prestigious commercial projects etc - alongside all of the global media attention from his exposes via Oprah, NF, Spare, interviews etc which look to have been validating for him.

This might be enough to sustain his identity and emotional core - but it seems not as he is now reaching out in a delusional and grandiose way publicly to those he hurt (RF) with no insight, empathy or care as to the impact and sustained damage his repeated actions caused and where these people are now emotionally.

I suspect the exclusion, silence and lip service will over a very long time leave him confused and lonely once he realises he is persona non grata. I think to date he believed he held all the power with his relentless missives and noise across the global media. But that’s just short term.

The long term ‘grey rock’ and ‘cold shoulder’ counter offensive is only getting started and will continue for decades as he is cut adrift not just from his family but longterm friends and society in the UK - I suspect it will sting.

I hope (and believe) his new life is sufficiently emotionally fulfilling - but he could have had it all.

Very true. I am just astonished that he appears to have so little self awareness.

I Understand the argument regarding the visa is that the profile that people portray in public maybe exaggerated but you’d think it wouldn’t be used as a defence of procedures when the person is high profile, those involved have been informed that there should be systems in place for those who they believe have lied. It’s not like it’s just a book, it’s been multiple times.

I don't think there's any way back at all while Harry is with Meghan. Apart from the damage they've done to Harry's relations, no-one will even agree to have a private conversation with H while he can run back to M and tell her all the gossip.

Meghan has been/is consumed with jealousy for Catherine and there will never be any kind of relationship there. William has his own issues with H (which are bad enough) but I see hell freezing over before he'd forgive what they've said about his wife.

Harry is an entitled buffoon who's got himself in over his head in so many ways. Because of the children, he'll always have a connection with Meghan, whether he wants it or not. Life is going to be tough for him in terms of future relationships. Despite the eternal sunshine of California it's not for everyone and I'm sure part of him yearns for his old life. I guess Charles will give him a cottage, but he won't be able to turn back the clock. He's delusional if he thinks that can happen.

A very insightful post, porkfest
