Reactions to the news have been all over the place. Supporters of the prince have taken to social media to send loads of congratulatory messages, saying they hope he’ll be happy and have a stable life. Critics, though, have been questioning the timing of the announcement and how it looks, especially considering all the intense scrutiny Harry and Meghan were under during their marriage.
The palace hasn’t put out an official statement yet, but insiders say that King Charles and the other senior royals are cautiously optimistic about Harry’s decision. Sources suggest that the royal family’s eager to help him rebuild his public image, especially after the rocky years that followed him stepping away from his royal duties.
