The British monarchy faces a conundrum as King Charles stands firm on his decision to keep Prince Harry tied to a key royal role, despite the Duke of Sussex stepping back from his royal duties nearly four years ago.<\/p>\n

This move has left Buckingham Palace in a state of concern, with the palace grappling with the implications of this decision.<\/p>\n

Prince Harry, although no longer an active royal, continues to serve as one of the king’s advisors of state.<\/p>\n

This crucial role positions Harry as one of seven members of the royal family who can act on behalf of the monarch in his absence or incapacity, a responsibility shared with his cousin, Princess Beatrice.<\/p>\n

In early 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made the bold choice to relinquish their roles as working royals, subsequently relocating to the United States.<\/p>\n

Despite the king having the authority to revoke Harry’s position, he opted to retain his son in this significant role, sparking internal tensions within the palace walls.<\/p>\n

Legally, individuals appointed as state councillors are required to reside in the UK.<\/p>\n

However, with Harry no longer fulfilling royal duties since 2020, he lacks a UK domicile, raising complex legal and logistical challenges.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were requested to vacate Frogmore Cottage, a residence gifted to them by the late queen.<\/p>\n

Dr. Craig Prescott, a constitutional law expert, expressed the unprecedented nature of the situation, highlighting the unease within Buckingham Palace over Prince Harry’s unconventional path.<\/p>\n

The king’s decision not to depose his second son from the state legislative council last year further complicates the situation, reflecting a departure from traditional royal norms.<\/p>\n

During a recent brief visit to Britain, Prince Harry attended the Welchild Awards in London before paying respects at the late queen’s resting place at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor on the anniversary of her passing.<\/p>\n

However, lacking a permanent base in the UK, Harry faced challenges securing accommodation, underscoring the logistical hurdles posed by his altered royal status.<\/p>\n

Looking ahead, Prince Harry is scheduled to return to Britain in January, necessitating meticulous planning for his stay at a royal estate.<\/p>\n

The evolving dynamics surrounding his royal role continue to captivate attention, shedding light on the intricate balance between tradition and modernity within the British monarchy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
