It is said that Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, is thinking about joining the royal family again after living alone in the US. As his 40th birthday draws near, the father of two is likely to be making plans to reconnect with the British royal family. Reports say that he is working with his old staff and close friends to make this return possible. This plan has been called “Operation Bring Harry In From the Cold.”
There was a Blink-and-Miss UK visit. Was it a sign of peace?
Recently, Prince Harry took a short trip to the UK. He and his separated brother, Prince William, went to the funeral of their late uncle, Lord Fellowes. Even though they were both there for the same solemn event, the brothers allegedly did not talk to each other and kept a noticeable space throughout it. People think that Harry is preparing for a permanent return to his home country by making this rare public showing.
Harry Calls Old Helpers and Friends to Help Him Make His Royal Comeback
The Daily Mail says that Harry has been asking his old staff and friends for help to make it easier for him to possibly return to his royal tasks. His old plan, which involved hiring a lot of American image gurus and public relations experts to handle his public image, is very different from this move.
“Harry is turning away from all kinds of Hollywood publicists and is seeking advice from his old friends and associates,” said a person close to the Duke of Sussex. It’s clear that he’s pulling away and thinking, “I need to change what I’m doing because it’s not working.” He is, in short, changing how he does things.
These changes were made after American public relations expert Christine Weil Schirmer left her job as head of communications for the Sussexes last year. She had joined the family in 2020. Schirmer is the 10th employee to leave the couple’s team in three years, which could mean they are unhappy with how they are handling the media right now.
“Operation Bring Harry In From the Cold: A Plan to Win Back the Public’s Favor”
When Harry and Meghan decided to leave their royal duties in 2020 and move to the US, it caused problems with the rest of the royal family. The couple’s honest talks and Harry’s autobiography, “Spare,” which showed private parts of their lives and problems with the royal family, made things worse.
But now that Harry’s 40th birthday is coming up, he seems to want to get back in touch with his roots even more. Insiders say that Harry’s friends have come up with a plan to help him slowly get back into royal life. The plan, called “Operation Bring Harry In From the Cold,” calls for Harry to do “very lowkey royal duties” and show up to events with little to no attention.
A friend of the Duke said, “The plan is for Harry to come back to the UK without making a fuss, without getting any attention, and to go to very ordinary events.” He could show himself this way and maybe win over the British people again. However, the source said that Harry might have to take part in small events like “ribbon cutting for a long period,” but that it would give him a sense of purpose and help him rebuild his image.
Getting in Touch with Old Friends: Edward Lane Fox’s Part
Reports say that Harry has used WhatsApp to get in touch with some of his old friends in the UK in an effort to get back there. He wants their help and advice. One of the most important people in this possible comeback is thought to be Edward Lane Fox, who used to be Harry’s private servant. A close friend of Harry’s said, “Edward can make this return easier if anyone can.” I almost grabbed him by the shoulders and begged him to bring our son home the last time I saw him. Now is the right time.”
When reporters asked Mr. Fox if he was involved in Harry’s possible return, he refused to say anything, saying, “It’s not something I’ve got a view on, I’m afraid.”
The Quiet Meeting: Prince Harry and Prince William at the Funeral for Lord Fellowes
A few weeks ago, Harry went to the UK and was seen at the funeral service for his uncle Lord Fellowes at St. Mary’s Church in Snettisham. Harry and William were close to each other at the event, but they are said not to have talked to each other. People in the area said they were “very discreet,” because the two royals kept their distance and didn’t talk to the public.
The funeral service was led by Reverend Dan Tansey, who talked about how the brothers behaved during the event. “When I came out to start the service, they had arrived, but I didn’t even know they were there until after the service when I was meeting people on the way out,” Rev. Tansey told the newspaper. He also said, “They came out a few people apart,” which suggested that the brothers kept a polite but faraway presence.
Even though Harry and William didn’t seem to be close, Reverend Tansey said it was important for both of them to be at the funeral: “It would have meant a lot to Lord Fellowes to have them both at the service.” He really cared about both of them.
A Possible Way for Prince Harry to Move Forward
As Prince Harry thinks about his future and his connection to the royal family, it remains to be seen if his attempts to get back in touch will be successful. “Operation Bring Harry In From the Cold” offers a planned, if slow, way to get everyone back together. There are big problems to solve, like making things right with his family and earning back the public’s trust, but Harry’s obvious willingness to do these things shows that he wants to change his place in the royal family.
Time will tell if the Duke of Sussex’s attempts to return are successful, but his recent actions show that he is ready to try new ways to make things right.
