Prince Harry has apparently adopted a new major strategy to win the heart of his father King Charles and the British public.

Harry and his wife Meghan Markle stepped down as senior royals and moved to United States, where they currently live with their children Archie and Lilibet.

However, the Duke in recent months, has increasingly reinserted himself into British public debate through speeches, articles, and appearances linked to Ukraine, antisemitism, environmentalism, and veterans’ causes.

Prince Harry, through his aides, has also quietly reopened channels of communication with palace following a private meeting between representatives from both camps last year.

Amid this development, the insiders told Radar Online, "There is a growing feeling in Palace circles that Harry is attempting to reinvent himself as a serious global humanitarian figure rather than a celebrity prince living in California.

“Critics see it as a very deliberate, and quite cynical, strategy designed to remind the British public – and his father – that he still carries influence and emotional ties to the UK despite everything that has happened."

The other close insider said, "Some people around the King view this as one sly ploy after another. Every one of Harry's carefully timed articles, speeches, or interventions is seen by critics as part of a wider campaign to soften his image in Britain and edge himself back into public life without formally returning to royal duties."
