According to
Renae Smith, founder of PR agency The Atticism,
Prince Harry's philanthropic endeavors in the U.K. — coupled with his seemingly successful visit with
King Charles III — are positioning him to be beloved by England once again. "The best strategy for Harry now is slow and steady," Smith explained in
an interview. "Regular, low-key appearances that build solid foundations rather than flashy moments. If he can keep this up for a year or so, I'd call that a full image reset."

Despite her initial skepticism, Renae Smith called
Prince Harry's return to England a "huge success" in the eyes of the nation. "From a PR perspective, the strength was in its authenticity. Every engagement felt genuine, with a clear philanthropic thread running through it. I've always said philanthropy is his safest and strongest space. It plays to his strengths without inviting controversy," she said. "Another big win was tone. Nothing felt gloaty or self-congratulatory. Harry avoided the trap of making charity work about himself or making snarky remarks during speeches. He just got on with it and that's exactly what people want to see from him."

Prince Harry was also applauded for his efforts to make amends with King Charles III during their simple afternoon tea at Clarence House. "The meeting with his father was also handled well. It wasn't dramatic, it didn't spark gossip, and that quieter energy is exactly what he needs," Renae Smith emphasized. "If I were advising him, I'd be calling this trip a huge success, it ticked every PR box."
