Harry and his wife Meghan Markle shocked royal fans when they announced their intention to step back as senior royals in January. The statements released from the Sussexes in the weeks that followed have indicated there is a clear rift between the couple and the rest of the Royal Family, which only seems to be worsening. Harry returned to the UK last week and Meghan is expected to soon join him so they can carry out their final duties before officially leaving their royal roles.

Royal watchers will be particularly interested to see the Sussexes’ first official appearance with their relatives since their so-called ‘Declaration of Independence’ on Commonwealth Day next Monday. Although the couples’ move appears to be more definite than ever, analyst Daniel Wild claimed that Harry would return to the ’Firm’ soon. A few weeks ago, the representative from the Institute of Public Affairs told Sky News Australia: “To answer the question, how long can it go for, I think just a few years before their star burns out. “Really, at the end of this, there’s a lot of push back against celebrities being hypocrites on climate change and there are no greater hypocrites than Harry and Meghan being the mouthpiece for it. “So I suspect this will last a couple of years and then I wouldn’t be surprised if Harry was beginning to rejoin the Royal Family and reassume the duties.”

Sky News’ Andrew Bolt added: “Despite this tantrum, someone like Harry has been bred into duty. “I know he doesn’t like it, being the second son, second to the heir, it’s always awkward, but one day he’ll miss the sense of duty.” Discussing the matter in light of the Queen’s shock decision to ban the use of the Sussex Royal brand, Mr Bolt commented: “There’s not much sense of duty or reckoning in the royals getting money." Royal photographer Arthur Edwards told The Sun last week that he thought Harry would end up back in the royal fold, too. He said: “He’s going to find life – as most of us do – pretty tough.

“He’s 35 and he’s never had to do anything like this. “He may wish he had never gone down that road, who knows. But of course, it’s what his wife wants and I think what Meghan wants, as they say, Meghan gets. “And he’s so in love with her he will do anything to keep her happy.” He added: “Unfortunately, we are going to lose him for a little while. I just hope it’s not going to be for too long. “I don’t think they will stay there forever. I think they’ll be coming back more and more and I think Harry will miss it, I think he will miss the life of the family.” DON'T MISS

However, Harry has indicated several times over the last few years that he has struggled with the obligations that come with being a royal. He has claimed he considered leaving the Royal Family years before he met Meghan, when he returned from one of his Afghanistan tours. He shocked royal fans in 2017 too, when he was interviewed by Newsweek and revealed that the whole Royal Family is reluctant to take on the role of monarch.
