Prince Harry, despite the uncertainty surrounding his ties with members of the royal family after years of feud, has once again sparked speculation about his possible return to the royal fold.
Since Harry and Meghan left for the United States in 2020, there has been a major shift in public opinion in the United Kingdom and the polls have fallen. The situation worsened after they spoke ill of the royals in public. Although the tides may be turning now.
The Duke of Sussex may not be a senior member of the royal family, but he continues to support the charities he did as a royal. He has made several visits in the past and the last trip was the most popular of all. The British press and public praised Harry.
Royal experts have often expressed their distaste for the Sussexes, but the Brits’ true feelings were laid bare during a random street interview.
Young people asked about Harry and Meghan’s return seemed to have a positive reaction.
“Yes, why not?” said one person. “They’re fun. Young people love them.”
“I think people are too invested in this business. I think we’ll let the man be a father, let them live. I’d love to have them back, though.” When the journalist asked “return to privacy?”, they said yes.
One Harry fan shared that she doesn’t want the Sussexes to return because they would put too much pressure on her in the UK.
Earlier this month he discovered that King Charles’ son had finally regained his police protection. While the official verdict is yet to be announced, sources from the Sussex camp have insisted that Harry’s police protection has been restored and is now “just a formality” at this stage.
The king’s youngest son has been fighting for his safety since it was stripped from him after leaving his position as a working member of the royal family. Taxpayer-funded protection is automatically provided to senior members, but for Harry it was made on a case-by-case basis by the UK Home Office.
Harry had publicly argued that he scored the highest, just below his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, for security risk, but he was removed shortly after one night. Last year he was on the verge of abandoning the fight after the “devastating” May 2025 verdict.
However, following the stalker incident in September during his visit to the UK (and possibly mending ties and meeting his father), there is a surprising turn in the early decision. It seems that the royal and VIP executive committee (Ravec) had no choice but to approve the request after a new evaluation.
The announcement is expected to be made in the coming weeks.
