Prince Harry reportedly has no plans to return to the United Kingdom, enjoying a vibrant social life with new friends in the United States. After stepping down as a senior working member of the Royal Family in 2020, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex relocated to California. Sources close to Harry reveal he is happy in Montecito, California, and not considering a return to royal duties.
His relationship with the Royal Family has been strained, primarily due to his explosive revelations about them in several high-profile interviews, including one with Oprah Winfrey. He also shared his experiences in a tell-all Netflix docu-series and his memoir, “Spare.”
While King Charles III is open to reconciliation, especially after meeting Harry post his cancer diagnosis, Prince William remains less forgiving. Insiders note that William feels deeply betrayed by Harry’s actions, making it unlikely for Harry to resume any royal duties or return to the UK soon.

Speculation about Harry’s potential return has grown with the upcoming paperback release of his memoir “Spare.” However, sources indicate that Harry has deliberately not included new or controversial content to avoid further scrutiny and protect the Royal Family from additional backlash.
Michael Cole, a former BBC royal correspondent, commented on the situation. Speaking to GB News, he mentioned that Harry wants to improve his image in the UK to visit more often and even contemplates performing minor royal duties. However, Cole believes the chances of this happening are very slim.
