Prince Harry is set to face a painful snub under the reign of King Charles III, the newly crowned King of England.

Reports have emerged that His Majesty intends to amend the 1937 Regency Act, which would effectively bar non-working royals from serving as councillors of state.

If these changes are implemented, it would mean that Harry, along with Prince Andrew and Princess Beatrice, would be prevented from holding this position.

But what exactly does being a councillor of state entail, and how would these proposed changes impact Harry’s role within the royal family?

According to sources, King Charles has already outlined his plans to amend the Act by introducing a clause that would prohibit non-working royals from assuming the role of councillor of state.

If this amendment were to come into effect, Harry, Andrew, and Beatrice would find themselves disqualified from holding this position.

Instead, the responsibility would fall upon individuals such as Prince William, Prince Edward, and Princess Anne.

In the absence of any other senior working royal in line to the throne, the fourth spot may be filled by another working royal, potentially even the Princess of Wales.

Should King Charles proceed with these changes, Harry would no longer be able to serve as a councillor of state for his own father.

This alteration could further distance him from the royal family, diminishing his remaining connections to the monarchy.

In another development, it has been claimed that Queen Consort Camilla was taken aback when Prince Harry proposed the idea of hiring a mediator to facilitate an uncomfortable family meeting.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex made a stop in Britain en route to The Hague for the Invictus Games.

As per Katie Nicholls’ book, “The New Royals: Queen Elizabeth’s Legacy and the Future of the Crown,” Charles insisted on meeting Harry and Meghan before their scheduled audience with the ailing Sovereign.

According to the book, the Sussexes arrived late for this awkward chat, leaving Charles with only 15 minutes to spend with the jet-setting couple before they had to depart for the Royal Maundy service at Windsor Castle.

Although father and son greeted each other warmly, there were still moments of tension that left Camilla lost for words.

The now Queen Consort was reportedly astonished when Prince Harry suggested involving an impartial third party to maintain harmony during the meeting.

A family friend revealed that Harry approached the situation with good intentions, aiming to clear the air.

He even proposed the use of a mediator to help resolve their issues, which left Charles somewhat perplexed and Camilla taken aback to the point of spluttering into her tea.

She dismissed Harry’s suggestion as ridiculous, emphasizing that they were a family and should be able to resolve matters among themselves.

Meanwhile, it has been reported that the Queen confided in a friend, expressing her exhaustion due to the turmoil caused by Harry and Meghan’s decisions.

The confidante claimed that the Queen felt deeply hurt, stating, “I don’t know, I don’t care, and I don’t want to think about it anymore.”

Nicholls also noted that the Queen was saddened by the limited time she got to spend with Archie and Lilibet.

She expressed disappointment that Harry and Meghan were unable to join her for a weekend at Balmoral in August, a tradition where the Queen would host a sleepover for all her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

As a result, the monarch only had a few opportunities to see Archie and her namesake, Lilibet.
