Meghan Markle “ready to sit down” with royal family amid rift, according to expert

Meghan Markle didn’t exactly leave the greatest royal legacy in the eyes of fans once she and Prince Harry left their senior royal member roles in 2020 and moved to North America. Although she has revealed many tragic things she had to go through while being a member of the Firm, there have been several incidents where royal fans have turned against her. Not long ago, she was even accused of trying to steal the spotlight from her former royal friend, Kate Middleton.

The rift with the royal family goes back many years. Prince Harry has visited the UK some times since, but Meghan Markle has not been with him on many occasions. One reason is reportedly security, but even so, it could also be seen as if the Duchess isn’t interested in mending the relationship with the royals.

According to one royal expert, Harry is missing his old friends and is looking for a permanent home in the UK. At the same time, he is said to be “petrified” of losing his wife, and one report even suggests that he isn’t interested in making amends with his family. However, there might be a chance for the royals and the Sussexes to make amends, as Meghan is reportedly open for a sitdown.

Although Harry and Meghan repeatedly complained about the treatment they had to endure in the UK, their dream of becoming more private and living a quieter life has been a central subject, often discussed since their move to the US.

Others argued that the Sussexes are actively trying to stay relevant, performing interviews, releasing a book, being involved in their own Netflix show, and creating podcasts. Indeed, it’s not quite the stepping back from the spotlight folk might have guessed.

The fact that Harry and Meghan appeared to want even more time in the spotlight didn’t go unnoticed, and the couple was even mocked at one point on one of the most successful comedy shows in history, South Park.

The Sussexes have not been back on UK soil many times since they left the royal family. The two attended Queen Elizabeth’s funeral together, but as King Charles received his cancer diagnosis and Harry traveled to the UK to meet with his father, the Duchess stayed in the US.

The feud between the Sussexes and The Firm has been ongoing for years, and nothing points towards them ever making amends. Meanwhile, Harry and Meghan reached out to Kate Middleton after her surgery as well as when she announced she had been diagnosed with cancer – which Harry and Meghan reportedly heard of through the news and not directly from their family members.

Even though the relationship is icy, one royal expert suggests that Prince William and Kate Middleton are ready to give it another shot to bury the hatchet.

“There is no way Meghan would bring the children to the UK”

Speaking with the Mirror, expert and royal author Tom Quinn stated that the Prince and Princess of Wales were open to the idea of inviting Harry and Meghan, as well as their children, to visit England.

However, Meghan didn’t seem too keen on the idea – and passed on the offer.

“There is no way Meghan would bring the children to the UK,” Quinn told the Mirror in early April.

“William and Kate have suggested that Meghan and Harry bring the children and that the two couples and their families try to make up, but the suggestion is not leading anywhere so far.”

In May, Prince Harry visited his home country once again, attending a special Invictus Games service at St Paul’s Cathedral. Reports suggested that he was very keen on having Meghan by his side at the service, and at first, sources stated that she wanted to go.

But not long after, Meghan Markle made a shocking u-turn — and once again, it concerned her children.

A source said that while Meghan had hopes of going to the UK with Harry in May, she didn’t want to bring Archie and Lilibet with her because she feared for her children’s safety.

“It’s now got to the point where Meghan doesn’t want to come to the UK with the children. She just doesn’t feel safe. The situation is now about whether the family should attend with increased security or Harry should go it alone,” the source said.

“Feels like she’s not wanted”

Moreover, Harry reportedly begged his wife to reconsider, saying, “I don’t want to do this alone.”

“Harry doesn’t want to keep making solo trips to the UK,” the source continued. “He would prefer it if the entire family made regular visits to see his family and build bridges, but there is so much going on behind the scenes that it just isn’t possible at the moment.”

Harry and Meghan were planning to come to the UK, but when the exact time and date of their appearance were made public, she started to rethink that idea,” the source said.

The children’s safety isn’t Meghan’s only concern about returning to the UK. The OK! Magazine source stated that the Duchess doesn’t want to “be thrown back into an anxiety-fueled visit to England where she feels like she’s not wanted.”

Time will tell if Meghan Markle will join his husband for the UK trip. But one thing is for sure: A reunion with the royal family seems very far away.

The rift with the royal family goes back many years. The relationship between Meghan and Kate Middleton has been the one in the spotlight, and sadly, it began just before the Duchess’ wedding, where in the Oprah interview, Meghan revealed that Kate made her cry over a dress rant.

Even though years have passed, Meghan has said she doesn’t want to mend the relationship with the royals as she believes it has gone too far.

However, new reports suggest that Meghan has made quite the u-turn and is said to be “ready to sit down” with the royal family and bury the hatchet. But for what reason? One royal commentator said a good relationship with her in-laws would “help her sell her jam.”

Speaking to GB News, royal expert Angela Levin claimed the Duchess is “still genuinely hurt” by how the “royal family treated her.” Still, Meghan is ready to reunite with them to talk about things, the royal expert said.

“She’s still genuinely hurt by how she was treated by the Royal Family – this is four years on,” Levin told GB News. “And she wants to now at last sit down and talk through things.”

Further, Angela Levin claimed that Meghan wants the royal family to “make apologies” to her and Prince Harry.

“We know that means she wants the Royal Family, King Charles and everyone else to make an apology, but they don’t,” she continued. “The person who should apologise is really her, but they don’t want that.”

“She’s also trying to get Beatrice and Eugenie, who’s on top of her list, to get people to help her sell her jams. And she’s really hoping that King Charles might take one, too,” the royal expert concluded.

“It comes from quite a good source, and that would be her excuse to go there, she wanted to make sure everything was nice, but it’s also a way of selling her products.”

Meghan Markle reportedly “never wanted to set foot in Britain ever again,” but this might change their relationship with the royals.

The Duchess was said to have reached out to Kate Middleton both after the abdominal surgery and also the cancer diagnosis, which the Sussexes found out about from the news and not from their family.

Meghan Markle is focusing on her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, and has gone on to sell jam. But as for Angela Levin’s report that making amends with the royals could help her sell more jam will probably not go down well with royal fans, as Meghan was accused of taking advantage of Kate’s royal return some weeks ago.

On Saturday, June 15, just hours before Kate Middleton made her royal return during Trooping the Colour, Argentinian polo player Nacho Figuerasa, a close friend of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, revealed the Duchess’s brand’s new raspberry-flavored jam via an Instagram Story.

The announcement’s timing left many royal fans angry, and they took to social media.

A fourth person concluded, “Who buys jam anyway? It is so easy to make right at home with fresh fruit and a load of sugar!”

Although many were furious with Meghan Markle for this, a source close to the Duchess told the Daily Beast that she had nothing to do with it.

The source claimed, “While I am sure the gift packages came with notes requesting social media coverage, you can’t tell Nacho Figueras what to do. So I think it’s certain the timing of his post was his own idea.”

“The larger point here is that the American Riviera Orchard campaign has been phenomenally successful and cost Meghan nothing.”

The source added, “It is a textbook social media campaign. The only problem is that there still seems to be nothing actually for sale, so what is it all for? I guess we will find out.”
