Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have expressed their desire to spend four months of the year in the UK, indicating their attempt to find a middle ground with the royal family.
However, the question remains: does the royal family share this sentiment?
Renowned royal expert Tom Quinn suggests that Harry is in greater need of the royal family than they are of him.
Quinn observes that Harry has transitioned from being an active member of the royal family, engaged in charitable work, to a more passive role in the United States.
Consequently, public interest in Harry and Meghan appears to be waning.
Recognizing this, Harry may be realizing the importance of the royal family in his life.
Quinn delves into Harry’s current predicament, highlighting that aside from writing about his challenging experiences, Harry seems uncertain about his future endeavors.
It seems that Harry, work-wise, is somewhat lost in the US and may benefit from returning home to find his purpose.
Quinn believes that Harry’s isolation within the Montecito community, shielded by its gates, leaves him without enough responsibilities to keep him occupied and fulfilled.
To rectify the situation, Quinn emphasizes that it is up to Harry to take the initiative and reach out to his family.
Reconciliation and regaining their friendship are crucial for Harry, especially since he is no longer in contact with his father or his brother.
Without these connections, Harry risks losing his significant value within the family.
Looking ahead to 2024, the Sussexes have a few projects in the pipeline.
The Archul Foundation, the Invictus Games, and a potential collaboration with Amazon are on their agenda.
Archul, their non-profit organization, recently released an impact update that received criticism from the public due to a perceived gender pay gap among employees.
Harry’s annual Invictus Games are scheduled to take place in Vancouver, Canada next year.
Additionally, there have been discussions about a potential project with Amazon’s Audible, although nothing has been confirmed yet.
However, apart from these ventures, their current project portfolio appears to be limited.
