A royal expert has claimed that Prince Harry wants ‘full royal treatment’ like his brother William and sister-in-law Kate Middleton despite they represent the Crown.
The insiders told expert Rob Shuter for his Naughty But Nice substack that if Harry returns to Britain, don’t expect the biggest battle to be over security. It will be over status.
The source said Archie and Lilibet doting father wants any trip to reflect his position as King Charles son, while the Palace is determined to avoid creating the impression that the Duke and his wife Meghan are arriving on an official royal visit.
The close confidant said, “Harry believes he should be treated the way the Prince and Princess of Wales are when they travel overseas.
“He wants the full royal treatment because, in his mind, he’s still a prince.”
However, the expert revealed that Palace officials see things very differently.
The last thing the Palace wants is headlines suggesting Britain is ‘hosting an official visit from the American prince and princess,’ another source says.
“Harry and Meghan are no longer working royals. The optics have to reflect that.”
The palace insider said, “This isn’t about being petty—it’s about protecting the institution.”
They said William and Kate represent the Crown, however, Harry and Meghan do not.
“The Palace can’t blur that line, even for a day,” the spy added.
