Prince Harry’s team has dismissed reports that he fears being exiled from the UK once Prince William becomes king.

Royal biographer Tom Bower recently claimed Harry was “seriously worried” that his brother might “literally banish him” after their father’s death, leaving him without any status in Britain. But a spokesperson for the Duke of Sussex shot down the speculation.

“It’s funny how the people who know the least about him always have the most to say,” the spokesperson told GB News. They added that Harry still hopes to reconnect with his family despite their long-running and very public rift.

The Duke of Sussex now lives in California with wife Meghan Markle and their two children. Speaking recently, he said he would “love reconciliation” with the royals, adding: “There’s no point continuing to fight any more, life is precious.”
