Meanwhile, the world is closely following updates on the British monarch’s health.
So, how will Harry and Meghan’s lives change once William becomes king?
Still, even in that unlikely case, the Sussexes might not be interested.
Knowing that his brother would be king, Harry still chose to spill about their falling-outs.
Also, him and Meghan stepping back from their royal duties wasn’t an impulsive decision.
Could they regain popularity during William’s reign?
By 2024, half of the U.K. viewed her favorably, perStatista.
Some outlets, includingNews24, claimed that in 2023 she was not only accepted but even adulated.
What will The Sussexes day-to-day look like?
However, multiple sources of income have been flowing in since their royal departure in 2020.
Their Netflix series “Harry & Meghan” and the books they have both written are some examples.
Keynote speeches are another profitable activity for them.
Also, Meghan could come back to acting any day!
She toldBBC News, “I just see it as a change.
It’s a new chapter.”
William becoming king could also provide the Sussexes with more financial stability.
Can further estrangement from the Windsors mean increased closeness with the Markles?
She lives near the couple and is involved in raising their children, per theDaily Mail.
Meghan’s father, Thomas Markle, is not an option, either.
In 2024, Samantha told theDaily Mailthat he has had two heart attacks and a stroke.
“We don’t know how long he has,” she said.
Believe me, I know.
it’s possible for you to’t get back that time.
It leaves a hole in your heart.
… She will never be able to look in the mirror."
Is his brother worth a PR nightmare?
So, would healing his relationship with his brother be worth a reputational nightmare for William?
Considering the history between the two, probably not.
“Kate wants the family to reconcile,” an insider toldLife & Stylein 2024.
Kate is on a mission to bring Harry home."
Making matters more complicated, several ofCharles Spencer’s childrengrew up overseas in South Africa.
This geographic distance did even more to prevent the cousins from getting to know each other.
Interestingly, however, William and Harry have since reconnected with their Spencer cousins.
They may even work with George on important philanthropic endeavors.
In practice, this will likely mean decreasing the number of services available to members of the royal family.
It will also potentially involve booting certain royals off of the palace payroll.
Candidates for losing William’s monetary backing include the prince’s disgraced uncle, Prince Andrew.
Reports indicate thatsome palace staff members are allegedly determined to get revenge on Harry and Meghan.
And these negative feelings apparently run deep.
Many of the Sussexes' previous hires have reportedly found it nearly impossible to work with the couple.
Some have allegedly needed therapy following their time with Harry and Meghan.
Charles could enjoy a long and prosperous reign, allowing William even more time to train for his role.
After all, this is what happened to Queen Elizabeth II’s “spare” children.
