In the event of Prince William's death occurring before King Charles's, Prince Harry would still not be the next choice for King, instead that honor would move on to Prince William's eldest son, Prince George.

If William dies before Kate and their son Prince George becomes king, Kate will then become the Queen Mother.
So, the bottom line? Yes, Prince Harry could one day be King...but there'd need to be a lot of unfortunate and premature deaths in order for that to happen. And even if it did happen, there's no certainty that the present Duke of Sussex would actually want to take on the role (he could very well choose to abdicate).
The 1701 Act of Settlement is the act of Parliament that determines the succession to the throne, and requires that a monarch's heir must be his or her direct successor (and a Protestant). That's Charles, not William.

Despite the fact that Harry has given up the HRH (His Royal Highness) title he still retains the right to the throne as he was born into the family. This is why Meghan can only become Queen Consort if Harry becomes King because she is not of royal blood.
