A recent revelation from a member of the royal family indicates that the king has firmly stated that the Duke of Sussex’s move to Montecito signifies his permanent withdrawal from royal responsibilities.
It has been made clear that there are no plans to invite the Sussexes back to resume their royal duties.
According to Tom Quinn, it is highly unlikely that the Duke of Sussex will return to his royal duties alongside his wife, the Duchess of Sussex, even if he visits the UK for a special event next month.
The upcoming event marks the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, where the Duke of Sussex is scheduled to deliver a speech at London’s St. Paul’s Cathedral on May 8.
Despite his significant role as the founder of the Invictus Games during his time as a working royal, the Duke of Sussex does not feel pressured to relinquish this position.
Even if he were to express a desire to resume his royal duties, it seems that the decision to permanently separate from such responsibilities has been firmly established by the royal family.
Speculations suggest that not even unforeseen circumstances, such as the king falling seriously ill, would prompt a call for the Sussexes to return to their royal duties.
It appears that the Duke of Sussex’s relocation to Montecito has solidified his status as residing primarily in the United States, away from the royal obligations in the UK.
Recent updates regarding the Duke of Sussex’s residency status for the company Travelist, which he co-founded, reflect his shift towards making the United States his primary place of residence.
Official documents filed with the UK’s company house indicate this transition from Britain to the United States.
However, certain challenges have emerged in the Duke of Sussex’s journey to the United States.
Concerns have been raised about potential revelations in his memoir, “Spare,” regarding his past drug use.
As a result, there is a push to disclose the Duke’s visa records to ascertain whether he disclosed his history of drug usage when applying for a U.S. visa.
In response to these concerns, the Heritage Foundation, a prominent think tank in the US, has taken legal action against the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to access the Duke’s visa records.
