PRINCE Harry will be heading to court in April to fight for his family’s protection when visiting the UK – and he could be sending a secret message to King Charles in the process.

Speaking on The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show, royal reporter Bronte Coy claimed that the Duke of Sussex, 40, may wish to have a UK reconciliation.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped down as senior working royals in 2020 and now live in California with Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet, three.

Bronte shared: “A few things struck me about this. Firstly, it’s been five years since they left. When they left, they left with such a passionate blaze of glory, they were so disheartened and bruised by the situation that they’d had back here.

“And I think that with all these things, once the dust settles and the emotion gets taken out of it a little bit, the reality is that he loves his home country.”

The royal reporter added: “A lot of things have changed in the last five years, and I think it’s entirely possible that, with some reflection, there’s a big part of him that’s wondering if there’s a way to sort of bring the UK back into the fold of his life.”

Bronte claimed that Harry’s love of the UK was evident in his Spare memoir, and he also may be sad that his children are growing up 5,000 miles away from his home country.

She shared how Archie and Lilibet “haven’t spent time getting to know their roots, which includes the Spencer family”.

Prince Harry will appear in court to appeal a High Court judgement that upholds a Home Office decision to downgrade his security, following him no longer being a senior working royal.

HELLO! claimed that a friend of Prince Harry’s said: “The goal for Prince Harry is simple.

“He wants to ensure the safety of himself and his family while in the UK so his children can know his home country and so he can help support his patronages and their important work.”

By sticking to his guns with the court case, the Duke of Sussex could be sending a message to King Charles, according to GB News Royal Correspondent Cameron Walker, who also appeared on Royal Exclusive.

He shared: “Well, I think it’s a combination, probably, of the British public and King Charles, his father.

“The king has only met Princess Lilibet once during the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

“There are reports, which hadn’t been confirmed or verified, that suggest that Prince Harry is essentially trying to lobby his father to intervene in his court case he’s got going against the home office.

“But of course, the king is not going to do that, because he cannot be seen to be involved in any court cases in the United Kingdom.

“So in April this year, we’re expecting Prince Harry’s appeal to be heard.

“The Home office downgraded his security in 2020 when he stood back as a member of the royal family, and he lost that case, but he’s appealing.

“What he told ITV last year was that he will not bring Meghan or his two children to the UK, because he feels he can’t keep them safe without the level he used to have police protection he used to have.”

Why did Prince Harry and Meghan Markle step back as senior working royals?

PRINCE Harry has always wanted out of the Royal Family and the repercussions will be felt for years, an expert has claimed.

The Duke of Sussex has lived in California with his wife Meghan Markle since 2020 after they dramatically quit their jobs as working royals and moved across the pond.

Katie Nicholl, who is Vanity Fair’s royal correspondent, told The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show that Megxit did not come as a surprise to her.

Speaking to The Sun’s Royal Editor Matt Wilkinson, the commentator explained: “Anyone who knows Harry is aware he’s always wanted a way out of the Royal Family.

“He’s said multiple times on the record that he wished he’d never been born a prince.

“I think he really is living the life he wants to now. It’s very, very sad that it’s played out the way it has.”

In a statement made on the Sussexes’ Instagram account as they stepped back in 2020, the pair wrote: “After many months of reflection and internal discussions, we have chosen to make a transition this year in starting to carve out a progressive new role within this institution.

“We intend to step back as ‘senior’ members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen.

“It is with your encouragement, particularly over the last few years, that we feel prepared to make this adjustment.

“We now plan to balance our time between the United Kingdom and North America, continuing to honour our duty to The Queen, the Commonwealth, and our patronages.

“This geographic balance will enable us to raise our son with an appreciation for the royal tradition into which he was born, while also providing our family with the space to focus on the next chapter, including the launch of our new charitable entity.”
