Prince Harry realises he is walking a "tightrope" with the Royal Family and needs their "magic fairy dust", a royal expert has claimed.
Harry and wife Meghan Markle have signed several big-money deals with the likes of Netflix and Spotify after quitting as working royals.
Reports last week suggested the couple are filming an 'at-home with the Sussexes docuseries' for Netflix as part of their $100million streaming deal.
And it is just days before the pair, along with their children Archie and Lilibet, will travel to the UK for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
Speaking on True Royalty TV's The Royal Beat, royal expert and historian Tessa Dunlop says it could prove awkward when Harry reunites with his family next week.
She explained: "It can feel very lonely if the institution shuts you out. And I think Harry, more than anyone, realises he’s walking a tightrope.
"Yes, he needs to make money, and yes, the Royal Family has made him feel excluded and he feels unsupported.
"But he also realises, on a professional level, he needs some of their magic fairy dust. And, on an emotional level, they’re family.”

Yesterday, it was reported that Harry and Meghan expected to join the Queen and the rest of the Royal Family at a service at St Paul's Cathedral next Friday for Her Majesty's Platinum Jubilee.
Royals are set to gather en-masse for the event, which forms part of the celebrations, and Harry and Meghan have confirmed they will be travelling to the UK for the four-day bank holiday weekend.
The service will come 24 hours after the Trooping the Colour event, which will see working royals only appear on the Buckingham Palace balcony, meaning there will be no place for the Sussexes, who now live in California.
And also on the show, fellow royal expert Duncan Larcombe said it will be interesting to see the public's mood towards the couple if they make any public appearances.
He explained: "May be the only chance we get to see a glimpse of both [Harry and Meghan] .... we can expect to see massive crowds... thousands and thousands of people that you would describe as royalists, who love the pomp and ceremony.
"The reality is... Harry and Meghan are very divisive characters... It will be fascinating to see the reaction and mood of the public [towards them]."
