Buckingham Palace officials are considering a plan to give Prince Harry and his wife Meghan a “major international job” probably in Africa, that will combine some work on behalf of the Commonwealth along with charity work and a role promoting Britain.
The Sunday Times wrote that the royals had been looking at long-term plans for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex after their baby, due any day, is born.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have given their full support to a plan that could mean them spending an extended period working abroad, possibly in Africa, after the birth of their baby a royal source was quoted as saying.
Harry has long-standing interests in Africa, which he calls his second home, the couple fell in love on a trip to Botswana and reportedly honeymooned in east Africa.
A proposal was considered to make Prince Harry the Governor-General of Australia or Canada, according to the British newspaper report, however these ideas were rejected as they are not civil servants.
The newspaper said the move would also give the couple a chance to “enjoy a break from the divisions that have riven the royal household in recent months”.
The British media has recently been publishing rumours of a split between Harry and his brother William.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex recently set up a separate royal household and moved out of the Kensington Palace grounds to their new home at Frogmore Cottage on the grounds of Windsor Castle.
The newspaper said the plan for the Harry and Meghan to take up an overseas role could be interpreted as a plan to get them out of the way so the couple doesn’t overshadow the king-to-be.
