Years of bitterness amidst blood ties seem to be sweetening bit by bit as the estranged son seems to be feeling the pull of his family’s embrace.
Prince Harry’s upcoming return to the UK is a ray of sunshine for all those anticipating a royal reunion for years. With each passing moment, the prospect of the ‘Fab Four’ coming together within the royal circle seems to be edging closer to reality. Yet, in the shadow of the deeply strained relationship between the Sussexes and the royal family, many are wary of raising their expectations too high.
Now, with alleged reports about Meghan Markle’s sentiments towards the prospect of reconciliation, the road ahead seems even more fraught with uncertainty.
Meghan Markle allegedly wants an apology to consider a reconciliation
According to The Mirror’s sources, Meghan Markle is cautious about Prince Harry’s attempts to mend fences with his royal family. She is worried that the 39-year-old might come to regret it later.
The source disclosed that while the Duchess empathizes with Kate Middleton’s situation, she firmly believes that “it doesn’t change things” and she “can never fully forgive the royals” for their actions towards her and her husband, without ever offering an apology.
The insider implied that the Duchess is aware of Prince Harry’s wish to reconcile with the family, and the news regarding Kate Middleton has only spurred him on. However, she views the Duke’s optimism as “naive”. Allegedly, Markle is afraid that her husband “will be made a fool of again and William will use him”. The insider also suggested that the 42-year-old is worried about losing control over the situation. Nevertheless, one aspect she has absolute control over is her decision to partake in the UK visit, and recent reports seem to indicate that she is leaning towards declining.

Why Meghan Markle might not go with Prince Harry to the UK?
Since relinquishing their senior royal positions in 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have made their home in the United States. During this time, the perception of them in the UK have markedly changed. Earlier this year, Prince Harry faced a legal setback against the UK Home Office and RAVEC, resulting in a reduction of his security arrangements following his departure from royal duties. However, Markle is worried about other things too, not just security.
She is also worried about going back to England, where she feels like she is “not wanted”. Thus, the ongoing family tensions and security concerns are why Meghan Markle seems to be skipping the trip, even though Prince Harry is heading to London soon. Nonetheless, loyal royal fans are still hoping for things to get better in the royal family.
