Prince Harry could appear on British quiz shows or chat shows after moving back to the UK with Meghan Markle, according to a former royal butler who worked for King Charles for over six years.
Grant Harrold, who worked at Highgrove between 2004 and 2011, told Smooth Radio's gaming brand Smooth Spins Casino that the Duke of Sussex may take an unexpected route onto British television if he does not pursue the Netflix route again.
Possible TV appearances
Harrold, who hails from Airdrie, claims the duke may do a series on royal palaces or even potentially appear on a quiz show, noting it is not the first time a Royal Family member has had their general knowledge tested on live TV.
"If Prince Harry was to be sensible about the whole situation and not go down the Netflix route, he could try a series of him going around royal homes and palaces. I don't think it would be that hugely successful, but the Royal Family wouldn’t mind him doing that because then it’s in brand," Harrold said.
Quiz show and chat show suggestions
"Could Harry go on a quiz show? Well, Princess Anne was on sic [BBC sports quiz show A Question of Sport] It’s a bit of fun, and maybe he could go on a show with Michael McIntyre," he added.
"That’s all very possible. Let's face it, he's got to come up with some new way of doing things. He's not going to be doing the traditional royal stuff. So he's got to do something that's going to keep the family happy."
"Doing the game show circuit, making guest appearances to promote his brand and the games is completely feasible. Trying a different approach is not a bad idea for Harry as he’s a lot of fun, he needs to win the British public over."
Harrold added Harry could potentially appear on a few chat shows such as This Morning and Good Morning Britain to promote the Invictus Games, which are being held in Birmingham next summer.
Caution and family approval
However, the former royal servant warned the duke would need to be 'really careful' about what he said, given his previous track record of slating the monarchy in interviews.
"I think we'll definitely see him probably more between now and Christmas. I think he’ll run everything he does past the King, just to keep him happy," Harrold concluded.
Harry and Meghan moved back to the UK last week with their two kids Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, who have both been enrolled in British schools. Sources from Page Six claim the move is due to Harry wanting to be closer to his father, King Charles, 77, who is living with cancer.
