BURSTPrince Harry and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, could be returning to their royal duties, according to an award-winning podcaster.
Culture critic Kristen Meinzer spoke to the Daily Express UK and said that it was never Prince Harry’s intention to give up his responsibilities as a senior royal.
“Harry has repeatedly said that it was never his intention to completely surrender his senior royal duties,” Meinzer said.
She added, “In a perfect world,” Harry and Meghan would have been able to move forward with passion projects while “serving the crown,” like Prince Edward, Harry’s uncle, and his wife Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh.

"The Nightly” host said that it was the late Queen Elizabeth II’s decision to allow Harry and Meghan to completely leave their royal duties and move to the U.S. and didn’t offer the Duke and Duchess of Sussex the opportunity to pursue their passions.
“But the queen did not grant Harry and Meghan the same opportunity, nor did the institution treat the racism Meghan faced with the seriousness it warranted,” Meinzer said.
Prince Harry and King Charles’ aids meet
NewsNation’s Paula Froelich reported in July that representatives for Prince Harry and Meghan met with one of King Charles’ aids, hinting at a royal truce.
According to Meinzer, despite Queen Elizabeth II not allowing them to pursue projects, King Charles might.
"If he arranged for their duties to have both some flexibility and a great deal of safety, I think Harry and Meghan would certainly consider accepting the opportunity," she said.
