Prince Harry left the door open to a return to royal duties this week and showed a telling action that he is making inroads into fixing his fractured relationship with his family.
The Duke of Sussex appears willing to help his sick dad with working duties following the King's cancer diagnosis and his interview with Good Morning America showed their strained relationship could be on it's way to being fixed, according to a PR expert.
The interview on Friday was billed as being a "tell all" chat with the American programme. However, Harry stopped short of discussing his dad's health, instead insisting details of his visit to see him would stay between the pair. It's this action that PR expert Mayah Riaz believes indicates the pair are on the road to recovering their once firm bond.

It was billed to be a tell-all type of interview and I think [he] pleasantly surprised the world that it wasn’t. He even said the health of his dad would stay between the two of them. I believe this is the start of seeing Harry slowly rebuild relations with his family."

Mayah also added that people shouldn't read into the how "spontaneous" Harry had offered a care-free style appearance during his Canada trip, while Prince William's BAFTA appearance had him looking like he was carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders.
"Having seen Prince William at BAFTA on Sunday, he did look lost and almost like he was carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. This is to be expected. Going to the glitz and glamour of the BAFTA is most definitely a contrast to what he has been dealing with recently.
"He would usually have attended with Kate, so he did look a little lost without her by his side. But decided to attend alone. Prince William’s appearance was certainly different to Prince Harry’s appearance at the weekend. William is often seen as more serious and responsible, while Harry is seen as more laid-back and spontaneous.
Prince Harry's GMA interview showed signs of improvement in his family relationship, a PR expert says (GMA/Twitter)"Although Harry is concerned about his father’s health, he doesn’t have the responsibilities that William currently has with stepping up to royal duties and Kate still convalescing. I don’t think this difference is appearance at events will impact Harry’s PR too much."
Mayah's words come after a video of Michael Buble was shared showing the Canadian crooner hilariously changing the words of Frank Sinatra's My Way during an event for the Invictus Games one year to go showcase. In it he kindly called 39-year-old Harry a "visionary" while also sending King Charles "healing wishes" following his recent health woes.
