Prince Harry is reportedly gripped with fear that his days in the United Kingdom could be numbered — especially once his brother, Prince William, ascends the throne.
As King Charles continues his cancer battle, whispers of a power shift have sparked new anxieties for the Duke of Sussex. According to royal expert Tom Bower, Harry suspects that his fate within the British royal family is more fragile than ever.
The Daily Star cited Bower’s bombshell claims, suggesting that Prince Harry is deeply concerned about being completely cut off from royal life once his father is no longer in power.
“Harry is seriously worried that when his father dies one day, William will literally banish him and he will have no status in Britain at all. He will be persona non grata,” Bower revealed in a chilling statement.
This fear of royal exile comes amid the ongoing fallout from Megxit, the controversial 2020 decision by Harry and Meghan Markle to step down from senior royal duties and relocate to California.
While King Charles has reportedly made some gestures toward reconciliation with his youngest son, insiders believe Prince William holds a much firmer stance.
According to Bower, any potential reunion between Harry and Charles will depend on the King’s health and Harry’s behavior. “Whether they’ll meet again in Charles’s lifetime depends on how long Charles lives,” he said.
Despite Charles’ willingness to potentially meet with his son, palace officials are said to be cautious. One concern is that Harry could exploit any meeting to bolster his image and regain lost credibility in the UK.
Bower told the Mirror, “Harry needs a meeting with Charles to show he is part of the Royal Family and to establish his credibility in Britain.”
“But as long as the Palace won’t give him access to Charles, he can’t take the first step. They suspect that the moment he meets Charles, he will use it to establish his credibility, because that’s what he desperately needs,” he added.

The rift between the royal brothers, Harry and William, has become one of the most publicized and painful aspects of royal drama in recent years. William has reportedly been more reluctant than Charles to open the door for reconciliation.
Sources close to the royal household say that William is still deeply hurt by Harry’s explosive interviews, particularly those targeting the royal family’s inner workings.
And with King Charles battling illness, the prospect of William stepping into power has become more real than ever, intensifying Harry’s fears of being completely cut off.
Royal watchers believe Harry’s concern is not only about losing family ties but also about being erased from the legacy and history of the royal institution altogether.
Even as peace talks between Harry’s team and King Charles’ aides were reported earlier this month, no formal progress has been confirmed. And Meghan Markle remains notably absent from any potential reunion plans.
While Harry is said to remain hopeful for some kind of reconciliation, royal insiders warn that time is running out and that his estranged relationship with William may be impossible to repair.
The once unbreakable bond between the brothers now appears to be one of the greatest divides in modern royal history.
