ROYAL RETURN?
Prince Harry has ‘no way back’ as hybrid royal to support King Charles as insiders blast ‘how could it even work?’
A source for the Sussexes insisted the Duke was not seeking a return
PRINCE Harry will not be allowed the “half in, half out” hybrid royal role he once sought amid claims he has offered to make a temporary royal return.
Palace insiders insist the 2020 Megxit deal barring Harry, 39, and Meghan, 42, from such an arrangement remains in place. One said no offer had been made.

A source added: “How could this even work? Is Harry really saying he’d fly back from California to attend an investiture?
“The Queen, Prince William, Princess Anne and Edward and Sophie are more than capable of holding the fort.
“And what would it mean for Meghan? Are we seriously thinking she could also have a hybrid role?”
But a source for the Sussexes insisted the Duke was not seeking a return.

They said: “Do I think if he was asked by his family to help, he would? I can’t imagine he wouldn’t try. Do I think he’d offer on his own? No.”
This morning’s Times reported Harry had said he was ready to help the royals as the King battles cancer.
Meanwhile, Meghan joked to Michael Bublé that Harry “wouldn’t shut up” after he beat the crooner at wheelchair curling, at an event to mark a year until the Invictus Games in Canada.
Bublé later serenaded Harry with a rewritten rendition of My Way.

What is Megxit?
The Sun coined the term "Megxit
On January 7 that year, we revealed Meghan and Harry's bombshell plans to move to North America and split from the royal family.
And on January 9, after the Sussexes had confirmed their plans on Instagram without telling Queen Elizabeth II, we used the headline 'Megxit'.
Modelled on Brexit - the term coined after Brits voted to leave the EU in 2016 - Megxit has now made Collins Dictionary's top 10 list of new words.
On January 7, we exclusively told how Prince Harry and Meghan were set to cut ties with the Royal Family and move abroad to start their new life together.
The Sun also revealed how the Sussexes wanted to relocate their office to Canada and drop their HRH titles.
And just a day later, the senior royals announced on Instagram their plan to "step back" from their duties and become financially independent.
The pair said they wanted to "carve out a progressive new role," while still supporting Queen Elizabeth.
Harry and Meghan also said they would split their time between the UK and North America - but they've so far spent the majority of the year in their £11 million Californian home.
Megxit was inspired by the term Brexit - which was Collins' Word of the Year in 2016 following the EU referendum which saw Brits miraculously vote to leave the bloc.
