Prince Harry ‘knows time is running out’ as Maureen Callahan wades in on duke’s plans

Prince Harry “knows time is running out” and is making efforts to reconcile his family ties, according to royal commentator Maureen Callahan.

She joined Nana Akua on GB News to discuss the duke’s series of engagements without his wife, Meghan Markle.

According to Callahan, the Duke of Sussex is seeking to reestablish royal links and work much like a Firm member would, without officially being a working member.

“He has tenuous connections still with a few friends of his and William’s back in the UK”, she said.

“But he also knows that time is running out. Charles is being treated for cancer. He’s an old man.

“If he does not make his way back into good graces with Charles while he has the chance, he’s never going to have that chance with William.

“But William won’t have it now. He won’t have it at all. William will be the next King, also.”

The Sussexes are currently apart with Harry trekking to New York City to carry out a series of engagements.

Harry, 40, met with Queen Mathilde of Belgium at a star-studded dinner organised by the World Health Organisation (WHO).

A spokesperson for the Prince outlined his plans in New York: “During UN General Assembly High-level Week and Climate Week in New York City, Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex, will be in town to advance a number of his patronages and philanthropic initiatives.”

His trip coincided with a US judge confirming his US visa application would remain private.

Calls have been made for the information to be made public after he admitted to taking drugs in his memoir.

His reference to taking cocaine, marijuana and psychedelic mushrooms in his memoir, Spare, prompted conservative think tank the Heritage Foundation to question why he was allowed into the US in 2020.

In his ruling, US judge Carl Nichols said: “The public does not have a strong interest in disclosure of the duke’s immigration records”.

The judgement continued: “Like any foreign national, the duke has a legitimate privacy interest in his immigration status.

“And the duke’s public statements about his travel and drug use did not disclose, and therefore did not eliminate his interest in keeping private, specific information regarding his immigration status, applications, or other materials.”

The Heritage Foundation disagreed with the ruling, arguing there is “immense public interest” in finding out if Harry’s drug use was mentioned in his visa application.
