Since Queen Elizabeth II breathed her last on September 8 at the age of 96, powers and important decisions are now taken by Charles III, who automatically became king on the death of his mother. The order of succession to the throne has also changed, placing Prince William in first place, followed by his three children: George, 9, Charlotte, 7 and Prince Louis, 4. Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, adds to this list. But given that the heirs who precede him are much younger than him, there is very little chance that Meghan Markle’s husband will one day accede to the throne of England. The prince would already have to want it.

While they have retained the titles of Duke and Duchess of Sussex, the parents of Archie, 3, and Lilibet, 1, are no longer active members of the Crown. This event, dubbed Megxit, drove a wedge between the couple and the rest of the Windsor clan. The compromising revelations they made subsequently did not help matters. If King Charles has several times, and despite everything, publicly displayed his love for his younger brother, it is out of the question for him to go back and reintegrate Prince Harry into the active life of the monarchy.

In this case, other members of the Crown represent him. And if Prince Harry was one of the first the king could have thought of to replace him, this is no longer the case now. As announced on November 14, the day of the 74th birthday of King Charles III, Prince Harry is definitively dismissed for this role, as is also Prince Andrew since his legal disputes in the Jeffrey Epstein case.
If King Charles III is unable to provide a trip for any reason, it will be up to Princess Anne, his sister, or his brother Prince Edward, to ensure stewardship.
