Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have received yet another blow as a bookmaker revealed their odds over potential developments in the Royal Family – and concluded that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have a 0.01 percent chance of returning to royal duties this year.
Harry and Meghan have been estranged from the Firm ever since they quit their royal duties and moved to the US in 2020. The pair has been engulfed in an ongoing rift with the royals after they released a series of explosive claims against them through interviews, their Netflix docuseries Harry & Meghan, Harry’s memoir Spare as well as their links to figures attacking the Firm.
But hopes were raised for a possible reconciliation after Prince Harry rushed back to the UK, following King Charles’s shock diagnosis in February. Meanwhile, the monarchy’s slimmed-down state also raised discussions about the duke’s possible involvement in royal engagements as his father undergoes cancer treatment.
However, experts at Casinos.com predicted that Harry and Meghan are unlikely to come back to the UK and resume their royal duties.
The couple gathered a 1000/1 odds (0.1 percent probability) in the hypothetical scenario of returning to royal duties this year. They scored even lower than Prince Andrew, who gathered a total of 9/1 odds (10 percent probability) for a comeback.
Oddsmaker at Casinos.com, Colm Phelan, said: “We predict that despite Harry’s offer to step up and help, both King Charles and Prince William will refuse to have him and Meghan back.”
Meanwhile, the odds of Harry appearing at the next major royal event, the Trooping of the Colour in the summer are just 9/1 or 10 percent.
Elsewhere, the hypothesis that Prince Harry will be removed from the line of succession by Prince William received 1/3 odds (75 percent probability), while Meghan enrolling Prince Archie in private school this May received 1/100 (99 percent probability).
The experts also suggested that the duchess might spill the tea on untold stories from her time within the Firm on her new podcast after she struck a new deal with Lemonada Media, with odds of 9/5 or 35 percent probability.
