Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, are reportedly contemplating a return to the United Kingdom, just three years after their highly publicized move to California. The couple, who stepped down from their roles as senior members of the royal family in 2020, are said to be considering a return to their homeland, with Harry purportedly spearheading the decision.
According to an anonymous insider cited by OK! Magazine, Prince Harry is keen on rebuilding his life in the UK and is taking the lead in the couple’s plans to find a new home near London. The source revealed, “There is a divide between the couple on this issue, but they will soon start looking for a property of their own near London, and Harry is very much leading this.”
Despite recent rumors suggesting that King Charles hoped to reconcile with the pair, the Sussexes allegedly have no intentions of seeking royal assistance. The couple reportedly will not be requesting a property on the royal estate, citing previous issues surrounding Frogmore Cottage. Instead, they plan to purchase their own home in the UK, the source stated. While occasional use of a small apartment in Kensington Palace hasn’t been ruled out, the couple aims to be self-sufficient in their housing arrangements.
Dr. Ed Owens, author of “After Elizabeth: Can the Monarchy Save Itself?”, has weighed in on the situation. Speaking to GB News, he noted, “The King has done that quite successfully so far. He’s held the moral high ground, he’s presented himself as a conciliator. That is the best way to maintain his reputation as a public figure.”
Owens emphasized the importance of how King Charles is perceived by the public, suggesting that the monarch’s efforts to maintain a positive image might encourage the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to reconcile with the royal family. Despite the challenges posed by their decision to leave the royal fold, the King seems open to the possibility of healing the wounds that have strained their relationship.
The potential return of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to the UK continues to be a topic of keen interest and speculation, leaving royal watchers on both sides of the Atlantic eagerly awaiting further developments.
King Charles ‘Plans to Reconcile’ with Harry and Meghan: A Royal Reunion on the Horizon?
King Charles is rumored to be considering reconciliation with his estranged son, Prince Harry, and daughter-in-law, Meghan Markle. Despite years of tension and strained relations, there seems to be a glimmer of hope for a renewed bond within the royal family.
Reports surfaced last month, suggesting that King Charles and Prince Harry were contemplating a face-to-face meeting during the prince’s solo visit to the UK, sans his wife. Although the anticipated meeting did not materialize, royal expert Dr. Ed Owens, author of *After Elizabeth: Can the Monarchy Save Itself?*, believes that the prospect of reconciliation still lingers.
According to Dr. Owens, King Charles is demonstrating readiness to reconcile, yet he asserts that the initiative lies with Harry and Meghan. “He is demonstrating he is ready to reconcile, and that ultimately, the onus is on them to make a decision as to whether they want to heal the wounds that have opened up between them and the rest of the Royal Family,” stated Dr. Owens in an interview with GB News. The King’s strategy seems to be maintaining the moral high ground, presenting himself as a conciliator, and hoping for a positive resolution.
However, the path to reconciliation is not without obstacles. One significant hurdle is Harry and Meghan’s alleged demand for an official apology from the royal family. Dr. Owens expressed skepticism about the likelihood of this demand being met, emphasizing the potential negative impact it could have on the monarchy’s public image. “That would be essentially to concede that the Royal Family had done something seriously wrong in the first place,” he remarked, highlighting the complexity of the situation.
As the public watches and speculates, the possibility of a reunion between King Charles, Prince Harry, and Meghan Markle remains uncertain. Whether the royal family will mend its internal fissures or whether this purported reconciliation will prove elusive, only time will tell.
