In a resolute declaration, King Charles III has firmly rebuffed Prince Harry's endeavor to reintegrate into the fold of the royal family as a working member, notwithstanding the Duke of Sussex's expressed willingness to contribute amid recent health concerns within the monarchy.
Reports indicate that the 75-year-old monarch remains steadfast in his stance that Prince Harry holds no official role within the monarchy, despite apparent overtures to mend familial discord.
The Duke of Sussex's purported readiness to embrace royal duties, particularly in light of his father's cancer diagnosis, seemed to hint at a potential return, as evidenced by his recent visit to the UK and public expressions of gratitude towards his father in a recent interview.
However, sources close to King Charles divulge that these gestures have not swayed the monarch's resolve, with the King remaining "firmly of the opinion" that there is no avenue for Prince Harry to resume his duties as a working royal.
While the King is reportedly open to repairing his strained relationship with his son, he remains steadfast in his decision regarding Harry's official status within the monarchy.
"It's clear that there have been discussions between the King and Harry. However, this does not signal a reinstatement into royal duties, even on a temporary basis," disclosed a source to the Daily Mail. The source further clarified that apart from a few select engagements, the King has no intentions to delegate significant royal duties to other family members during his ongoing treatment.
Furthermore, it appears that the sentiment within the royal family aligns with the late Queen's stance, as expressed during the "Sandringham Summit" in January 2020, wherein she deemed any "half-in, half-out" approach by Prince Harry untenable. A source reiterated this position, asserting that the family remains in "solid agreement" regarding the protocols established during the summit.
