SHOULD HARRY BE BROUGHT BACK INTO THE FOLD?

Fate deals a rough hand to royalty just as much as to ordinary folk.

The difference (and current problem) for the monarchy being that they are a professional firm, as well as a family.

As both King Charles and the Princess of Wales deal with cancer, their absence has made that brutally apparent.

The sympathetic outpouring of good wishes for Kate, as she emerges from a really tough time, will be a welcome boost to morale for the Windsors.

The princess has dealt with major abdominal surgery, an extended stay in hospital (when she didn’t see her kids), and a torrent of conspiracy theories about her absence from public life.
