Duke of Sussex breaks silence following speculation over royal standing
Harry has issued a bold response after explosive claims surfaced suggesting that his brother, Prince William, may banish him from royal life once he becomes king.
The remarks came from royal commentator Tom Bower, who alleged that Harry is deeply concerned about being cast out entirely during William's future reign. Speaking to The Mirror, Bower claimed, "Harry is seriously worried that when his father dies one day, William will literally banish him and he will have no status in Britain at all. He will be persona non grata."
However, Harry's spokesperson was quick to shut down the speculation. In a statement shared with GB News, the Duke's team fired back: “It's funny how the people who know the least about him always have the most to say.”
The claims emerged just days after a quiet but significant meeting between representatives of Harry and King Charles in London, suggesting a possible step toward reconciliation. The Duke had previously made his intentions clear in a BBC interview, saying, “I would love reconciliation with my family.”
Harry also expressed concern over his father's declining health, adding, “I don't know how much time is left.” Despite past tensions, he admitted, “There have been so many disagreements between myself and some of my family… but I have forgiven them.”
While rumors of future royal fallout continue to swirl, Harry's response underscores his desire to set the record straight—and his ongoing hope for healing old wounds.
