Following the announcements that the Princess of Wales (formerly known as Kate Middleton) needed to cancel her engagements for several weeks as she recovers from abdominal surgery and King Charles III‘s cancer diagnosis which is keeping him away from public events for a bit, there have been numerous reports that Prince Harry was willing to pick up some royal duties to help out.

Even after the Duke of Sussex was reportedly told his services aren’t needed, other outlets have claimed that the prince would still like to reconcile with his family.

But at least one royal expert doesn’t think that’s possible since Harry won’t “depart from Meghan Markle’s agenda” that has been the source of so much “damage.”
Commentator claims Prince Harry won’t ever ‘depart from Meghan’s agenda’

U.S. journalist and royal commentator Lee Cohen suggested that Prince Harry will never be able to completely reconcile with his estranged family because he won’t deviate from Meghan’s “agenda.”

“Harry and his wife’s betrayals and disloyalty are unforgivable,” Cohen said via Express. “As long as Harry and Meghan are together reconciliation with the [royal family] is not possible … Meghan doesn’t understand or doesn’t care that the monarchy is a respected time-tested pillar of British society. And she is Harry’s touchstone and guide so he will not depart from her agenda.”

Cohen added that aside from the financial and commercial gains the duchess gets from “trashing” the royal family, she has “no other use” for the institution.

“Beyond the status Markle got from the title, and the money she receives for trashing it she has no use for the institution and clearly cares not a jot for Harry’s family,” Cohen claimed. “Sadly he has gone along with her directives, and suffers the loneliness of an estranged child, even though the king clearly still loves him and wishes things were otherwise.

“But the royal family is completely right to have marginalized this errant son. The damage he and his wife have inflicted is as pernicious as it is unforgivable.”
