Prince Harry thrashes late Queen Elizabeth, King Charles' positions during Ukraine trip

Prince Harry has shown desperation to return to the United Kingdom after he rejected the label of “not a working royal.”

For those unaware, the Duke of Sussex made an unexpected visit to Ukraine for a day on April 24, where he reaffirmed his place in the British royal family after stepping back from his royal duties and relocating to the United States with his wife Meghan Markle in 2020.

While chatting with ITV in the Ukrainian town of Bucha, Harry said, "I will always be part of the Royal family and I’m here working and doing the very thing I was born to do. I enjoy doing it.”

“I enjoy being able to do these trips and coming to support the people that I’ve met before, the friends that I’ve made,” he quipped.

Carrying out an analysis of the Duke of Sussex’s remarks, a royal commentator, Rafe Heydel-Mankoo, told GB News that Harry’s statement shows that he is "desperate to return to the royal fold.”

He added, "The more distant and disconnected he is from the Monarchy, the more his relevance wanes. This is why he is undertaking these faux 'royal' engagements.”

"It's the only thing in civilian life he knows how to do; it is the best way of attracting media attention and, ultimately, I suspect he hopes it will somehow open a path for his return to the Royal Family,” the author explained.

Heydel-Mankoo went on to highlight that Harry, who once claimed to be “not a working royal,” is “creating his own version of a royal engagement.”

However, his efforts do “not make him a working royal - especially not when these trips are also designed alongside commercial operations for private financial gain.”

"The position of Queen Elizabeth and King Charles is quite clear: if the Sussexes wish to pursue private commercial ventures, they can never be working royals,” Heydel-Mankoo said.

It is pertinent to mention that Prince Harry’s surprise tour to Ukraine has already started a debate as he directly asked the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, to end the ongoing war while speaking at Security Forum in Kyiv, Ukraine
