Prince Harry and Prince Andrew appear to have reached a point of
irreversible separation from the royal family, particularly as King Charles
ascends the throne. The British public's sentiment towards their reintegration
remains cool, as observed by a prominent royal commentator.
These assessments align with the results of a recent poll conducted by
deltable for the Mail on Sunday. Surveying 1504 Britons, the poll unveiled
that more than half of the participants express a desire for Prince Harry to
be removed from the line of succession.
Esteemed broadcaster Esther Kraki offered her analysis to Sky News Australia,
underscoring the parallel predicaments faced by Prince Andrew and Prince
Harry. Both individuals find themselves in scenarios where rejoining the royal
fold seems improbable.
Kraki interpreted Prince Harry's presence at King Charles' coronation as a
symbolic gesture rather than an indication of his reinstatement. This gesture
underscores the event's significance in the monarch's life rather than
signifying a full-fledged return to royal obligations.
Kraki emphasized that King Charles is attuned to public sentiment and
acknowledges the prevailing lack of enthusiasm for both Prince Harry and
Prince Andrew among the British populace. Consequently, the prospect of their
reintegration appears remote, with the expert deeming it unlikely and
impractical. She highlighted that a substantial portion of the public favors
the removal of their titles, reflecting shifting attitudes towards these
members.
At present, Prince Harry holds the fifth position in the line of succession, trailing behind his elder brother Prince William and William's offspring: Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. The poll also disclosed that a majority (51 percent) of respondents advocate for the titles of both Prince Harry and his family to be revoked. While Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have relinquished their HRH titles, Prince Archie and Prince Lilibet still retain theirs as grandchildren of King Charles III.
