Why Prince Harry Is Lying Low in 2022 So He Doesn’t Upset the Queen
In case you hadn’t noticed there’s been a ton of royal drama over the past couple years, and apparently it’s taken a toll on the Queen. Which is why Prince Harry will reportedly be lying low this year—meaning he likely won’t be spilling anymore tea on his challenging relationship with the royals.
Royal expert and author Katie Nicholl tells Closer Magazine that Harry has “paused and reflected” and “realized how much last year took a toll on his grandmother and doesn’t want to cause any more upset, so is lying low for now.”
“It’s already been a crisis year for the royal family, with all that’s going on with Prince Andrew,” Katie notes. “And it couldn’t be worse timing. I know the Queen was really keen to put on a united front and to celebrate the royal family this year, for the Jubilee. But it’s proving very hard to do that with all that’s gone on....Having the Sussexes back in the fold, in whatever capacity, even just for the attendance, would be really positive for the royals. Not only for the image, but for the family itself.”
Katie also adds that “tensions are still very high between Harry and Meghan and the royals” but that there are “discussions about how to soften things this year.”
“There will no doubt be awkward conversations and briefings and discussions on how to handle Harry and Meghan’s return. Who knows whether they’ll play a part in the Jubilee? But I believe Kate will be a real key player in making peace with Harry and Meghan, even if it’s for show and just for the Jubilee. Tensions are high but Kate will do what she can to heal the rift. I know this year Kate and William—and Harry and Meghan too—will want to make things as easy as possible for the Queen.”
