King Charles has reportedly laid down a strict condition for Prince Harry’s possible return to royal duties. The ultimatum directly reflects Queen Elizabeth II’s policy barring “half-in, half-out” roles.
Since their 2020 split from the Firm, Harry and Meghan Markle have engaged in paid work that conflicts with royal protocol. To resume official duties, Harry would need to sever these financial ties.
The recent 19-month reunion at Clarence House symbolizes guarded reconciliation, yet it remains unclear if Harry will accept the King’s terms or maintain his independent path.
Spokespeople emphasize Harry’s focus on family relations while respecting the King’s authority. Public and press speculation about Prince Harry’s future role continues.
