Privacy NoticePrince Harry wants to “leave behind the celebrity nonsense,” it has been claimed. According to a royal commentator, the Duke Of Sussex is keen to be known as a “serious philanthropic player” having stepped down from his senior royal role in January 2020. Prince Harry, who recently celebrated his milestone 40th birthday, is reportedly keen to shed the celebrity image and focus on his philanthropic efforts. Speaking to The Times, royal commentator Tom Sykes said: “Speaking to sources close to Harry, it’s quite clear that he wants to leave behind the celebrity nonsense, recover his reputation as an honest dealer and become known as a serious philanthropic player.” He also claimed that Harry does not “want his old royal life back” and that he is loving the California lifestyle he has with his Meghan Markle and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

However, when it comes to his career, the bright lights of Hollywood aren’t where Harry sees his future, Tom claimed. “He undoubtedly would like to reoccupy the space he briefly held on stage at the Clinton Initiative, and will hold again at WellChild,” he said. “However, it’s going to be incredibly difficult to transform back into a credible quasi-royal unless he reconciles with the crown,” reports the Express. The Duke Of Sussex stepped back into the spotlight on Monday, 30 September for his charity work at the WellChild Awards, which happened in London. Harry has been a dedicated patron of the charity, which focuses on providing home care for children with serious health conditions, for over 15 years.

The stories of young people who battle against the odds, living lives filled with medical procedures, hospital stays, and endless appointments, remind us all of the strength of the human spirit,” he said. “For many of us, it is a daily life we can hardly imagine, and yet somehow, the young people I meet are always smiling and every room they walk into seemingly lights up with warmth and positivity. So keep being you. You’ve got this. And we’ve got you. “As a parent, I know a little about the emotional rollercoaster of parenting! But, when I hear about the care many of you mums, dads, and family members provide; the level of round-the-clock care you offer; the skills you’ve had to learn; and the battles for support that you fight every single day-I am truly in awe.”Story SavedYou can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
