Prince Charles Unlikely To Allow Meghan Markle, Harry's Six-Month Arrangement: Royal Pundit

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's future in the monarchy when Prince Charles takes over the throne remains bleak, according to a royal expert.

Royal pundit Lady Colin Campbell, the author of several royal books, including "Meghan and Harry: The Real Story" and "The Real Diana," addressed some royal fans' inquiries in a Q&A on her YouTube channel. One netizen shared that he heard a report the Prince of Wales wanted to reconcile with his son, Prince Harry. The Sussexes living in the U.K. for six months and moving to California for the remainder of the year would allow Prince Charles to work on his relationship with the Sussexes.

The netizen asked Campbell if Prince Harry would be sincere in renewing their relationship or use it for publicity and make more money.

"My understanding is that the Prince of Wales loves his son and would dearly have loved to be able to mend fences with him," Campbell said.

However, she felt it would be risky for the senior royals to involve themselves with the Sussexes. In addition, she didn't think the six-month arrangement would be approved.

"Also, I have great reservations that there is any six-month in, six-month here, six-month there actually planned," she continued. "I don't see how it would work I don't think it's gonna happen. Maybe back and forth, but six months here, six months there, except as a precursor to a divorce, I'm sorry, I don't see it happening. I really don't think it's going to happen. I think it's 'pie in the sky.'"

She urged the royal fans to take those rumors about the six-month arrangement with a grain of salt. In her opinion, the Sussexes' public betrayal of the royal family was humiliating.

During Prince Harry and Markle's interview with Oprah Winfrey, they claimed that a member of the royal family raised concern over their unborn son's complexion. The Duke of Sussex also claimed that his father, Prince Charles, and brother, Prince Wiliam, were trapped in their royal duties.

"Finding Freedom" co-author Omid Scobie spoke about Prince Harry and Markle's initial plan to be part-time working royals. The Queen reportedly vetoed their "one foot in, one foot out" approach.

Royal biographer Tom Quinn, the author of "Scandals of the Royal Palaces: An Intimate Memoir of Royals Behaving Badly," believed that the Prince of Wales might support the Sussexes. He acknowledged that the Queen "grew up with this sense that you're either in fully or out fully," but changes may likely happen during Prince Charles' reign, allowing the Sussexes to be part-time royals.

"It would be better to say to Harry, 'OK, we'll do it the way you want to do it. You can be here for six months,'" Quinn told Us Weekly. "It's not as if being a working member of the royal family involves anything politically sensitive or controversial, because really, when they're full-time royals, they open hospitals. They, you know, give their names to charities. So that is possible that, that they could do that for half the year and, you know, do their other stuff in America."

The royal family has not addressed Prince Harry and Markle's future in the monarchy. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were given by the Queen a year to decide whether they would return to their royal duties or not after they stepped down in 2020, and they chose to stand by their decision and continue living their lives in the U.S.
