Prince Harry has enlisted the help of several former royal aides to “rehabilitate” his reputation, according to a new report.
The Duke of Sussex, 39, is reportedly becoming increasingly frustrated with Hollywood publicists and is turning to home soil for help to polish up his reputation.
According to palace insiders, the father of two — who is gearing up to celebrate his 40th birthday next week — has reached out to some familiar faces in the UK.

“Harry is turning away from all sorts of Hollywood publicists and is seeking counsel from his old friends and associates,” a source told the Daily Mail.
“He is clearly reaching out thinking, ‘I need to do something different because what I’m doing is clearly not working.’ In short, he is rethinking the way he operates.”
While Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, are not looking for a permanent return to the royal fold at this time, they are reportedly doing everything they can to bury the hatchet with the royals.
At least one of the royal aides whom Harry allegedly approached is described as an “old school” adviser known for discretion to help with the plan, unofficially dubbed “Operation Bring Harry In From The Cold.”
Harry has also reportedly reached out to former private secretary Edward Lane Fox.
“If anyone can do it, Edward can. Last time I saw him, I wanted to take him by the shoulders and say, ‘Ed, please bring our boy home.’ It’s the right time now,” a source told the outlet.

However, when approached for comment by the outlet, Fox said, “It’s not something I’ve got a view on, I’m afraid.”
While details about the rumored plan remain scarce, it has been suggested that the Invictus Games founder could also be taking on “very low-key royal duties” in the near future.
In fact, one insider believes that “if Harry comes back to the UK with zero fuss, and does zero publicity and attends very mundane events, he could prove himself and win over the British public again.”
The Post has reached out to Harry’s reps for comment.
It comes as the duke kept his distance from his estranged brother, Prince William, as the pair attended their uncle’s funeral separately in the UK last week.

After reports suggesting Harry was set to skip the event over safety concerns, the duke ultimately flew to the UK for an incognito appearance at the memorial service.
The funeral marked the first time the feuding brothers were under the same roof since King Charles’ coronation in May 2023.
