AceShowbiz - It seems like there's no way back for Prince Harry. After it was said that the Duke of Sussex would be willing to return for royal duties amid his father King Charles' cancer battle, a new report suggests that the monarch isn't interested in having his youngest son back to the royal fold.
Royal sources told The Sunday Telegraph that there is "zero percent chance" that Harry will be permitted to help out with royal engagements despite Charles' cancer diagnosis. In addition, Harry's sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, is still recovering from abdominal surgery.
The insiders stressed that the royal family never considers a "half in, half out" approach to the monarchy. "Those terms were quite clear, and the King's illness hasn't altered that," the source shared. The new report also stated that Harry and Charles didn't discuss the matter during their 30-minute meeting when Harry visited the U.K. as soon as he found out about his dad's health issues.
Recently, a source claimed that Harry, who stepped down as senior member of the royal family in 2020, was willing to return to his royal duties if his dad asked him to. "I have a hard time believing if his dad asks for his help that Harry would say no, I think he would try," a source told Page Six on Friday, February 16. "I don't think it's something that Harry would ask [to do] on his own."
Recently, Harry addressed King Charles' health issues during an appearance on "Good Morning America". "I jumped on a plane and went to go see him as soon as I could," Harry, who is currently in Canada for a pre-Invictus Games event alongside his wife Meghan Markle, said.
"I love my family," the prince continued. "The fact that I was able to get on a plane and go and see him and spend any time with him - I'm grateful for that."
When asked about his outlook on the state of his father's health, the father of two responded, "That stays between me and him." Harry was also asked whether Charles' illness could have a "reunifying effect" on the royal family, to which he replied, "Absolutely. Yeah, I'm sure. Throughout all these families, I see it on a day-to-day basis, the strength of the family unit coming together."
