Speaking on The Sun's Royal Exclusive show, royal expert Robert Jobson said Prince Harry will have to make people forget that he sold out his family if he wants a comeback.
It comes after The Sun's Royal show asked viewers if they wanted to see the two reconcile, and a staggering 73% said no.
Robert said: "I think it's too late. Too much has gone under the bridge, in my opinion. Too much water."
Sky News royal editor Rhiannon Mills agreed, saying Harry had thrown his family 'under the bus.'
She added: "The biggest issue for Harry and Meghan, is that an awful lot has been said.
"The whole family kind of went under the bus, really, in the documentaries and in Spare. And there are lots of things that they cannot erase in terms of what's been said."
Robert also revealed that the Duke of Sussex's recent trip to Angola, where Princess Diana went, also did nothing to sway the public on letting him back into the royal family.
Prince Harry recently followed in his mum's footsteps walking through minefields in Angola and speaking to the charity Halo, who help clear them, something he also did in 2019.
The royal expert said: "But the reality was that was a big deal then.
"It wasn't a big deal this time around. So he's not got the same draw that he had. He must know that. When you've trashed your family and monetised it."

Robert went on to say that Diana's authorised biography, Her True Story, was different as she didn't monetise from it, while Harry did with his book Spare.
"She didn't monetise it for herself. He made a fortune out of it," he explained.
"He's asking for forgiveness. Well, you know, I think that his father probably will in the long term. I think he probably will. I just don't see William and Camilla doing it."
Earlier this month, Meredith Maines, Meghan and Harry's chief of staff in California, and Liam Maguire, the head of their UK PR operation, recently met Charles's communication secretary Tobyn Andreae at the Royal Over-Seas League which sits just three minutes from Clarence House.
The secret peace summit sparked rumours a reconciliation is in the works, but Prince William's team was notably absent.
The Duke revealed in his bombshell BBC interview "life is precious" and "I would like to get my father and brother back".
It comes after Harry opened up a number of wounds when he spoke to US talk show host Oprah Winfrey alongside his new wife about how Meghan was allegedly treated during her time as part of the family.
Meghan claimed she was left suicidal due to how she was treated as Harry said that questions were raised about the colour of their child's skin colour by other royals.
The Prince would also publish his bombshell book Spare in 2023 after moving to California which stirred up further controversies.
He reportedly hasn't seen Charles in years with his last direct communication with brother William coming in 2022.
The feuding brothers reportedly didn't even speak to each other despite standing 'virtually back to back' among mourners at their uncle's memorial service last year.
Inside Prince William and Prince Harry's 'feud'
TENSIONS have been running high in the royal family since Prince Harry stepped down from royal duties in 2020 and relocated to California with Meghan Markle.
Their last reported interaction was during the funeral of their grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, in September 2022, but conversations were said to be brief. ​
The feuding brothers reportedly did not speak to each other despite standing 'virtually back to back' among mourners at their uncle's memorial service last year.
Growing up, Wills and Harry shared many of the same friends who were part of their close, tight-knit circle.
But their relationship took a sour turn after Harry lobbed vile allegations against the Prince of Wales in his memoir Spare - and they are said to have not been in direct contact since the 2023 release.
In the book, he claimed William had physically attacked him and knocked him to the floor in 2019 and made insulting comments about Meghan.
The Sussexes had also targeted Princess Kate, when Meghan claimed the royal made her cry.
The bitter feud was ignited when the Sussexes told Oprah, in their 2021 sit down interview, that certain members of the Royal Family had speculated about Prince Archie's skin colour.
It was later claimed the royals were Princess Kate and King Charles, after Harry and Meghan's former pal Omid Scobie published his hatchet-job book Endgame.
During the infamous Oprah interview, the duchess also made stinging comments about the Firm and how they handled her mental health struggles.
Prince William and Harry's bond then worsened after the Sussexes made a number of accusations against the Royal Family in their 2022 Netflix docuseries.
The duke has given subsequent interviews, such as his most BBC chat in May 2025, that have only propelled bad blood.
