Despite the uncertainty surrounding his ties to members of the royal family after a year-long feud, Prince Harry has reignited speculation about his possible return to the royal fold.
Since Harry and Meghan traveled to the US in 2020, there has been a major shift in public opinion in the UK, with opinion polls falling. It got worse after they publicly bashed the royals. Although the tide may be turning now.
The Duke of Sussex may not be a high-ranking 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 most recent trip had been the most popular of all. The British press and public were all praise for 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 who were asked about Harry and Meghan’s return appeared to have positive reactions.
“Yeah, why not?” said one person. “They’re fun. Young people love them.”
“I think people are way too much in this business. I think we want to let the man be the father, let them live. But love to have them back.” When the reporter asked “back with privacy?” they said yes.
One Harry fan shared that she doesn’t want the Sussexes to come back as they would put a lot of pressure on her in the UK.
It discovered earlier this month that King Charles’ son had finally won back his police protection. While the official verdict has yet to be announced, sources from the Sussex camp have insisted that Harry’s police protection has been reinstated and it is now “just a formality” at this stage.
The king’s youngest son has been fighting for his safety ever since it was removed after stepping down as a working member of the royal family. The taxpayer-funded protection is automatically granted 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 after just one night he was stripped of it. Last year he had almost given up the fight after the “devastating” verdict in May 2025.
After the stalker incident in September during his visit to the UK (and possibly the repair of the tapes and the meeting with his father), a surprising twist is noted with the expected decision. It appears that the Royal and VIP Executive Committee (Ravec) had no choice but to approve the request after the new assessment.
It is hoped that the announcement will be made in the coming weeks.
