Prince Harry and Meghan Markle feel ‘left out’ of King Charles’ evolving succession plan

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could return to royal duties

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are finding it difficult being left out of King Charles’ succession planning, according to a source.

The couple stepped down from the Royal Family four years ago and made a new life for themselves in Montecito, California. However, it seems they could return to the UK after the monarch was diagnosed with cancer.

The King’s illness is believed to have led to his succession planning, with a “highly unlikely situation” involving Harry and Meghan returning to royal duties. Royal expert Jennie Bond said Harry would likely “uproot his family” if he was called upon.

Speaking to Heat magazine, she said it’s an “extreme precaution” to be planning for an instance in which Meghan and Harry would return to royal duties. However, she said: “But, from the rumours that he was willing to step in on some kind of official basis while the King is in treatment, Harry probably would uproot his family and fill in for the short-term.

“I don’t think regency is something he’d welcome, but he’d be able to do things his way for once.” Jennie pointed out that any involvement Harry had would be for a “very short period” as Prince William’s son George can legitimately become King when he turns 18 in seven years.

A source also told the publication that Harry and Meghan are finding it “hard” to hear King Charles is making concession plans without consulting them. However, they insisted the Sus𝓈ℯ𝓍es are “not going to kick up a fuss”.

The comments come after royal author Tom Quinn suggested Charles’ plans centre around the Prince of Wales. He told The Mirror William is at the heart of the succession planning”, but “no one trusts Harry”.

Tom added: “Charles is also aware that, as future king, William is at the heart of the succession planning that is taking place right now – officials had assumed Charles would remain healthy at least into his mid-eighties before succession planning would need to begin but in fact it has now begun and indicates perhaps that Charles’ cancer is more dangerous than we have been led to believe.

“Succession planning is highly secret and no one trusts Harry to be part of it for the simple reason that if he feels in any way slighted or not given what he feels he deserves he will run straight to the media.”
