Harry to return to the UK – and it spells trouble.
Many of us are acquainted with the Biblical Parable of the Prodigal Son, (Luke 15:11–32).
It’s a story of a bold and disrespectful younger son who asks his father for his inheritance, leaves home and squanders his wealth in reckless living.
Many Royal and news commentators have noticed how the family drama involving Prince Harry and both his heir-to-the throne brother William and his father King Charles closely resembles this story.
(Only Harry hasn’t squandered his wealth, but rather that which he values the most – his public image.)
Left ‘destitute’, both the prodigal son and the prodigal prince decide to return home – but the similarities end there: the Biblical character, recognizing the error of his ways, it’s only hoping to be accepted as a servant; while Harry has already, after his meeting with his father the King, repeated that he didn’t do nothing wrong, is unrepentant.
My conscience is clear – I didn’t air any dirty laundry in public, says Prince Harry”
Ah yes, apart from the Netflix series, the book, the podcasts, the Oprah interviews, the world wide poor me series
Come off it

During informal conversation with Joss Stone at London’s WellChild Awards last week, Harry hinted that he and wife Meghan Markle are consider returning to his home country.
Page Six reported:
“The singer [Stone] told Hello! magazine on Monday that the royal, 41, spoke with her about her recent relocation back to the United Kingdom.
‘He was saying how wonderful the schools are here and how important community is for children’, the Grammy winner recalled. ‘It was nice to share that with him because it’s exactly why we felt drawn to come back. He … asked about how we were settling back in’, the songwriter noted. ‘He’s just very warm and down to earth, as always. Maybe Harry will move back too. That would be nice’.”
‘Americans did not welcome them in the way that they initially thought they would.’

There’s just one catch: not unlike the older brother from the Biblical Parable, heir-to-the-throne Prince William has repeatedly been reported to openly oppose any overtures towards Harry.
(Some may not remember, but Harry’s biographer Omid Scobie told the press that Harry’s wife, Princess Kate, was one of the ‘racist Royals’ that inquired about the color of the skin of Harry’s and Markle’s son.)
