Prince Harry, who previously stated that he was eager to reunite with his estranged family, is prepared to go to extreme lengths to cut all links with the royals.
The Duke of Sussex's relationship with his cancer-stricken father, King Charles, has deteriorated in recent weeks, following the "devastating" ruling on his security appeal.
Harry, on the other hand, has a positive relationship with his mother and the rest of Princess Diana's family.
According to insiders, Harry consulted with his uncle, Charles Spencer, as he considered a surprising move that would destroy his relationship with the royal family.
According to a friend of Harry, King Charles' younger son had been considering using his mother's surname 'Spencer' instead of 'Mountbatten-Windsor'. Harry's children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, share the surname Mountbatten-Windsor.
During a rare visit to the United Kingdom, Harry spoke with his uncle Charles Spencer about the situation. However, he was advised against it, as the legal obstacles were "insurmountable".
According to the friend, "They had a very amicable conversation and Spencer advised him against taking such a step."
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex left the Firm in 2020 to reside in the United States, leaving behind their senior royal posts. While they maintain the HRH titles, which Harry has had from birth, they are not permitted to use them for business purposes.
Princess Diana's brother seems to have soothed the issue at the time, since the relocation would have been highly upsetting to King Charles, who apparently treasures the Mountbatten name just as much as his father did.
While there is still conjecture regarding the slimmest possibility of a reunion between father and son, it would have damaged that as well.
