Royal experts are weighing in on what lies ahead for Prince Harry as he continues efforts to reconcile with his family.

They believe the Invictus Games founder has hit "rock bottom" and will now channel his energy fully into charitable works.

The experts also predict that Prince Harry is unlikely to write another tell-all memoir or grant multiple interviews in the near future, as he aims to protect his reconciliation efforts.

For the royal family, it has been a turbulent journey since Prince Harry stepped down from his senior royal duties to start a new life in California with his wife, Meghan Markle.

The war veteran first stunned the monarchy with a bombshell 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, where he made several damning revelations that cast The Firm in an unflattering light.

Not stopping there, Harry and Meghan went on to release a tell-all documentary, further exposing details the senior royals would have preferred to keep private.

That was soon followed by Harry's deeply personal memoir, seen by many as the final straw, that further strained his already fragile relationship with the royal family.

However, with more than two years having passed since the release of his memoir and nearly five years since he became estranged from the royal family, there have been signs of reconciliation from Harry, who has publicly stated that he has grown weary of the ongoing rift.

Ahead of such a potential reconciliation, royal expert Ingrid Seward has revealed that Harry will likely not get into such antics again, with hopes not to ruin it all.

"I can't see Harry giving loads and loads of television interviews or writing another book," Seward told Fox News Digital.

According to Seward, the former senior royal will likely focus more on his charitable efforts moving forward, steering away from projects that have strained his ties with the royal family.

"I think his direction will concentrate on as much charity work as he can find that interests him, or he feels that he can really help with… Hopefully, Harry will just rebuild his life," said the editor-in-chief of MajestyMagazine.

Regardless of Harry possibly making this shift, Seward believes the "future for Harry is a difficult one."

"I'm not sure what the future holds for Harry. I'm sure Harry's not sure what the future holds for Harry," Seward admitted. "But he's going to concentrate on his charity work, which isn't a huge amount of work at the moment. But [in 2027] he has the Invictus Games in the U.K."

Another Royal Expert Says Prince Harry Has 'Hit Rock Bottom' And That Reconciliation Will Take Years

Another royal expert, Hilary Fordwich, weighed in, suggesting that Harry's recent actions weren't just driven by a desire for reconciliation but also by the fact that he has "hit rock bottom."

"This is a move more out of necessity and hope for reconciliation," she explained, adding that mending ties will likely be challenging since the royal family remains wary of both Harry and his motives.

"There are such deep-seated grievances from all his sordid revelations, one doubts they can ever be overcome." Fordwich continued." The only smidgen of a chance of any sort of repair of their former relationship is some sort of discreet reconciliation that would be built on many years of trust-building steps."

Fordwich also noted that Harry understands reconciliation won't happen overnight, which is why he appeared to take the first step by granting a BBC interview in May, where he openly shared his hopes.

"Harry knows it will take years, hence his lamenting to the BBC that he 'doesn't know' how many years his father has to live. That was a clear indication he felt the clock ticking," said the royal expert.

Following the BBC interview, Harry reportedly took further steps toward reconciliation.

In July, he was said to have offered to share his official schedule of engagements with the royal family to prevent conflicts with their own commitments.

That same month, his communications officer, Meredith Maines, was spotted meeting with King Charles' head of communications, Tobyn Andreae, sparking speculation that behind-the-scenes peace talks may have taken place.

At the time, reports stated that both parties were seeking peace and that the meeting between Harry and King Charles' senior aides was the first step towards that goal.

It appears those peace efforts may have paid off, as recent reports suggest that King Charles and Prince Harry could reunite for the first time in 20 months.

"After 20 months apart, and with the King continuing his treatment, the feeling is that the time is right to take that step," a source told The Mirror about Harry's upcoming visit to the U.K. in September.

They added, "This is not about grand gestures or set-piece meetings - it's about a simple face-to-face conversation between a father and his son."
