During a discussion on Channel 5's Jeremy Vine show, emotions ran high as opinions clashed on whether Prince Harry should be welcomed back into the royal fold. One passionate caller, Judy from Birmingham, voiced her belief that "family is family" and that everyone should mind their own business, urging for Harry's return to be met with open arms.
Judy emphasized the importance of not judging what goes on within the family, stating, "You don't know what's happened in that family. Just welcome him back with open arms." She further expressed her view that the family needs all the help they can get.
This discussion arises at a time when the senior working members of the royal family are scarce in attendance at engagements. King Charles is currently taking a break from public duties but continues to handle behind-the-scenes work, including reviewing state papers and holding some in-person meetings.
While she heals from abdominal surgery, Princess Kate is likewise not active at the moment. After Easter, she will resume her public duties, according to Kensington Palace. There have been calls for clarification over Princess Kate's health due to the criticism and backlash the monarchy is facing due to the senior royals' restricted visibility.
Given the circumstances, many believe it is the right time for Prince Harry to make the trip back to the UK and offer his support to the family during this challenging period.
