Prince Harry ‘wants to return to UK to help Royal Family’ amid the King and Kate’s health concerns, a royal author has claimed.
According to Christopher Andersen, the duke is “eager to return to London” to help his family as several senior family members step back.
Both King Charles and Princess Kate are not undertaking public-facing duties as they continue cancer treatment.
Christopher Andersen, the author of The King: The Life of Charles III, said that Prince Harry is looking forward to returning to the UK in May for the 10th anniversary celebration of the Invictus Games.

Prince Harry is expected to travel to London next month for the event, however, it is not clear whether his wife Meghan or his children will be accompanying him.
The author also argued that the prince would be open to working as a part-time royal.
Andersen said: “In fact, he's eager to return to London and help take up some of the slack now that the medical issues of the King and the Princess of Wales have thrown the monarchy into a state of crisis.”
He also said that it would be in the King’s best interests to give the Duke and Duchess of Sussex part-time roles, which they previously asked for.

However, tensions remain high between Harry and his family since the release of his tell-all memoir Spare.
During his recent trip to the UK to visit the King after his cancer announcement, Harry asked to see his brother, “but William refused” according to Andersen.
Prince Harry visited London in February where he had a 45-minute meeting at Clarence House with his father.

He said: “Keep in mind that the Prince of Wales is saddled with the enormous responsibility of holding both his family and the monarchy together while his wife and father cope with their serious medical issues.
“He simply doesn't have the bandwidth to deal with the baggage that inevitably accompanies Harry.
“Having the 'spare' back in the royal fold would simply be an enormous distraction, despite his good intentions.”
