Buckingham Palace Considers Prince Harry's Return Amid Birthday Tribute

In recent discussions surrounding the British royal family, experts have suggested that Buckingham Palace should reconsider its stance on Prince Harry. This comes in light of the upcoming birthday tribute for the Duke of Sussex, which has sparked conversations about the potential for mending royal relationships. Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams has been vocal about this topic, emphasizing the importance of private communications that may not reach the media.

Fitzwilliams pointed out that, "What hopefully might subsequently happen are private approaches which we don't hear about and which the Sussexes don't leak to the media. Then, some real progress in repairing relations can be made." This statement highlights the possibility that behind-the-scenes discussions could pave the way for a more harmonious relationship between Prince Harry and the royal family.

Moreover, Fitzwilliams referenced the upcoming paperback edition of Harry's memoir, "Spare," which is set to be released next month. He noted that while the book's release may not be well-received by the royal family, it will not be promoted in the same manner as before. He stated, "the release of Spare, Harry's explosive best-selling memoir, in paperback next month will not be popular with the royal family. However, it won't be promoted by Harry as it originally was and hasn't been enlarged or updated. That, in itself, may be an olive branch." This suggests that the lack of promotion could be seen as a gesture of goodwill from Harry towards the royal family.

Fitzwilliams also mentioned that a gesture from the royal family regarding security could significantly improve relations. He explained that if Prince Harry were to lose his case in the Court of Appeal concerning automatic security for himself and his family during visits to Britain, it could have a positive impact. He remarked, "if he were to lose the case in the Court of Appeal to ensure he and his family had automatic security when they visited Britain, would also undoubtedly help." This indicates that security concerns remain a critical issue for Harry and his family.

The recent birthday tribute and the discussions surrounding it may serve as a turning point for the royal family and Prince Harry. Fitzwilliams expressed hope that, "a feeling of goodwill will be engendered by these unexpected public good wishes and will be taken forward." As the royal family acknowledges Harry's milestone birthday, there is potential for constructive dialogue and healing in the months to come. The future of their relationship remains uncertain, but the possibility of reconciliation is certainly on the horizon.
