Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond said Harry would be a “great asset” for the palace.
But she said California-based Harry now has the “domestic bliss” he lacked as a child.
Appearing on today’s episode of The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show, Bond said: “I can’t see Harry returning, really.
“And yes – I do miss him. Harry was the most popular royal a couple of years ago, wasn’t he?
“Having watched him grow up and knowing him just a little bit, he was a wonderful little boy and a charming, jovial adolescent.
“At least that’s what we saw. He was brilliant for the royal family, he did bring a natural common touch and relatability.
“They would have been a great asset had he stayed but I don’t think he will return.
“If I did pray I would pray that he has a happy life now with all that he wanted.
“The freedom he craved, the wife he loves and the children he adores.
“The model of domestic bliss that he didn’t have in his own adolescence.
“I wish him all the best.”
It comes after Harry said he was unable to return with Meghan, Archie and Lilibet to the UK “because it is too dangerous”.
Harry lost his legal fight against the removal of his taxpayer-funded UK security in February.
The Sussexes were stripped of their round-the-clock protection when they stepped back from royal duties in 2020.
They now live in a mansion in Montecito with their two children, Archie and Lilibet.
