Hardman says he can't "envision" the Sussexes returning as working royals
Prince Harry is focused on himself and is not the team player needed to play the role as a working Royal, according to the author Robert Hardman.
Hardman, the author of a new biography of King Charles, told GB News: “Harry writes in his book Spare how no one will return his calls and he can't get through to anyone, and it's just all about me, me, me.
“The whole kind of Royal machine, if you like, is a team effort and I just think it's very sad because Harry and Meghan had such potential.
“And now when we do tend to hear from them on a Royal matter, it's just to say how miserable they were being Royal.”
In a discussion during Breakfast with Eamonn Holmes and Isabel Webster, he continued: “I can't envisage a situation where they're back as part of the Royal working unit, but I can certainly see it becoming a kind of normal thing for them to keep coming back.
“I hope so because, you know, it's a family at the end of the day and they did have so much to give. I mean, when you look back on that sunny day in May 2018 and that sense of promise, all they were going to be doing for the Commonwealth.
“That's very much what the King had in mind for the future, that there would be this sort of twin track - you'd have William and Catherine, and you'd also have Harry and Meghan.
“Fundamentally, I think everyone's so sad, I think they’re beyond being angry. Everyone would like to see some sort of rapprochement.”
On the hospitalization of the Princess of Wales, he said: “I just think it's a reminder that we do have a slimmed down Royal Family now, but they will adapt, they'll make it work, and it is a quiet Royal time of year.
“I think by the Spring things will be back on track.”
