As the Royal Family navigates through a period with limited representatives due to health issues and surgeries, a former royal butler has proposed that Prince Harry reassumes his full-time duties to bolster the family’s public engagements.
Grant Harrold, a former royal butler, has suggested that Prince Harry should consider returning to his duties as a full-time working royal member to support the Royal Family during a period marked by fewer available representatives for engagements. Specifically, King Charles is currently undergoing medical treatment, and Princess Kate has been returning to her duties following surgery. As the fifth in line to the throne, Prince Harry’s involvement could significantly benefit the family during this time. Harrold highlighted the dedication of members like the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester in maintaining the Royal Family’s public presence, demonstrating the importance of availability for such roles.
In other Royal Family news, Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, has been recognized for her close relationship with the late Queen Elizabeth II. Royal author Ingrid Seward noted that the Queen appreciated Sophie’s humble demeanour and her focus on supportive roles rather than seeking personal attention. The Duchess, married to Prince Edward since 1999, became a key confidante and supporter of Queen Elizabeth II, particularly after the passing of Prince Philip in 2021. Sophie has been actively involved in charitable activities, including efforts to address women’s rights and gender-based violence, strengthening her prominence and respect within the Royal Family.
Lastly, Prince William, serving as the colonel of the Welsh Guards, recently made a discreet visit to the Combermere Barracks in Windsor. This visit, made at the request of the Ministry of Defence to remain confidential, underscores his ongoing commitment to the regiment. Prince William’s engagement with the troops, including discussing their future plans and their work in physical and mental rehabilitation, reflects his dedication to his military role. The visit follows his and Kate Middleton’s participation in a St David’s Day parade with the Welsh Guards last year, further highlighting his connection with the regiment and the importance of his duties within the Royal Family.
