Buckingham Palace has splashed cold water on the idea of Prince Harry ever returning to the royal fold.
Royal sources claim to The Daily Mail that there is “no way back” for the Duke of Sussex amid his and wife Meghan Markle’s public exit in 2020 and their ongoing bashing of the royal family that ensued.
The source added that there is “zero percent chance” that Harry will be permitted to help out while his father, King Charles III, undergoes cancer treatment and his sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, recovers from abdominal surgery.
Page Six exclusively reported earlier this week that Harry – who is fifth in line to the throne – would be willing to report for royal duties, if asked.
“I have a hard time believing if his dad asks for his help that Harry would say no, I think he would try,” a source told us, adding, “I don’t think it’s something that Harry would ask [to do] on his own.”
The California-based royal jetted back to the UK to see King Charles shortly after the monarch announced his cancer diagnosis earlier this month.
“I spoke to him,” Harry told reporter Will Reeves on “Good Morning America” earlier this week. “I jumped on a plane and went to go see him as soon as I could.”
The renegade royal added, “Look, I love my family. The fact that I was able to get on a plane and go and see him and spend any time with him, I’m grateful for that.”

The whirlwind visit lasted just over 24 hours and included a 30-minute meeting with his father, 75.
Relations between father and son have been frayed ever since the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021. Tensions escalated even further with the publication of Harry’s controversial memoir, “Spare,” last year.
In the no-holds-barred tome, he accused his father of labeling him a “spare” when he was born, not hugging him after Princess Diana died and cruelly joking that he wasn’t Harry’s biological father.
Page Six previously reported that Harry, 39, and Markle, 42, have recently been working toward a master plan of “reconciliation” with the royal family.
However, the strategy soured with the release of royal reporter Omid Scobie’s new book, which claimed Charles and Middleton were the two who questioned the color of then-unborn Prince Archie’s skin color, causing an upset in the royal family. A rep for the royal family did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment at the time.
