Why Prince Harry wants ‘closer ties’ with Britain, expert reveals

Prince Harry wants to latch back to his old life as he misses time in the UK

Prince Harry secretly regrets his decision of leaving the UK.

The Duke of Sussex, who left his position as a senior royal back in 2020, misses his time in the UK but will seemingly refrain from coming back permanently.

Expert Richard Fitzwilliams notes: "I think Harry would like, depending on the security decision which we still await, closer ties with Britain and certainly with his father and with his friends.

"I cannot believe it would be satisfactory, if it remains satisfactory, that he is so often an extra in (Meghan's Netflix) cookery show,” says the expert.

"I mean, if he didn't (regret his decisions), we wouldn't have Birmingham coming up next year," Mr Fitzpatrick added. "We wouldn't have the plan so obvious to try and in one way or another to persuade King Charles to open (the door to a return)."

He adds: "I think it's quite clear that Prince Harry has many regrets about the life choices that have ended up with him being estranged from his homeland and from his family and from the role he most enjoyed: being a royal prince," he explained to The People's Channel.
