Prince Harry's New 'Title' Preceding Meeting with King Charles

Prince Harry, amidst feelings of isolation from his family and with plans to return to the UK amid ongoing royal health concerns, has garnered a new 'title' for his recent endeavors. The Duke of Sussex faced criticism from a royal expert following revelations that his failed legal battle against the government regarding his UK police protection incurred costs exceeding £500,000 to taxpayers. Michael Cole, a royal commentator, has dubbed Harry the "prince of litigation" in response to his unsuccessful bid to reinstate his security detail.

During discussions with GB News, Cole expressed frustration, stating, "We are the mugs in all this." He questioned the outcome of Harry's actions and pondered if it amounted to an abuse of the system, leaving judgment to Harry's conscience and others. Meanwhile, details from a Freedom of Information request by The Telegraph outlined staggering expenses related to Harry's legal fight, including significant sums for legal counsel, government legal departments, court fees, and e-disclosure.

Conversely, royal author Tom Quinn suggested that Meghan Markle exerted pressure on Harry to maintain ties with the family for "commercial reasons." Quinn remarked to the Mirror that Harry still harbored hopes for a minor role within the royal fold. Additionally, Quinn speculated that King Charles might arrange a brief meeting with Harry during his upcoming UK visit, noting Charles' purportedly more forgiving stance compared to Prince William.

Amidst these developments, Prince Harry is anticipated to deliver a significant speech at the Invictus Games 10th Anniversary Service scheduled at St. Paul’s Cathedral on May 8.
