The Duke of Sussex gave up a much-loved possession estimated to be worth around £50,000 shortly after his wedding.

Much has changed for Prince Harry following his marriage to Meghan Markle- from stepping down from his royal duties to moving to California.

But there were smaller changes too for the Duke of Sussex following their fairytale nuptials as a short while after their wedding in 2018 he reportedly gave up a prized possession his new wife reportedly did not approve of.

Once an enthusiastic hunter, having been photographed with a water buffalo he had killed in 2005, Harry made an ethical decision to give up hunting and sold a pair of handmade hunting rifles, estimated to be worth £50,000, in a private deal back in 2020.

The Sun reported that the Duke of Sussex parted with the much-loved gift in 2020 and the hunting rifles were handed to the new owner in a private deal, who was oblivious to the fact that the newly bought Purdey firearms bore a royal connection.

Founded in 1814, James Purdey & Sons, or simply Purdey, are renowned for bespoke sporting shotguns and rifles.

As reported in the outlet, a source said: “He bought them because he wanted them, not because they belonged to Harry, but he was quite chuffed when he found out.”

The insider further added the new possessor is “very pleased with them but he’s not the sort of person who wants to boast about the royal connection.”

The sale took place before Meghan and Harry left the UK for Canada, and subsequently moved to Montecito, California.

In April 2020, British primatologist Dr Jane Goodall said she believed Harry would give up hunting for good as a result of Meghan’s influence.

Dr Goodall was asked on Radio Times if Prince Harry and Prince William are champions of the natural world, “Yes – except they hunt and shoot,” she claimed.

“But I think Harry will stop because Meghan doesn’t like hunting, so I suspect that is over for him.”

Prince Harry, like his brother, William, has been very passionate about his work to protect animal wildlife and his focus on conservation efforts. He has spent a whole lot of time in Africa over the years specifically dedicated to helping preserve endangered species and combatting illegal poaching.

Harry and Meghan’s relationship, however, has come under the spotlight just recently with the couple choosing to make a number of solo public appearances, rather than stepping out together over recent months.

A friend of the Sussex couple claimed that the new string of solo appearances is part of their new plan, which will see them focus on their individual projects and attend more events separately.

The insider told People: “The Duke and Duchess have now hit their stride as individuals – not just as a couple.

“The Duke appears focused on his patronage work, and the Duchess focused on her entrepreneurial track.”

They added: “It’s clear that a twin-track approach is evolving.”

There is a glamorous threat posed by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle who have a knack for bringing showbiz flair claims royal author.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have a “glamorous knack” for combining showbiz with “do-gooding” and are “waiting in the wings” to fill in a potential gap created by the Royal Family, an expert has claimed.

It comes as King Charles was forced to attend the star-studded event royal premiere of Gladiator 2 alone as Queen Camilla recovers from a chest infection. However, still looking “handsome” on the red carpet, fans praised the King’s appearance as he mingled with A-list stars on November 13.

Royal historian and expert Dr Tessa Dunlop claims there was “no retro glamour, no tinsel, no tiaras” on the red carpet, which she believed is missing and which could be filled by two royals.

She told the Mirror: “The Royal Family might think they are above such glitzy gimmicks. That would be a mistake. After all, waiting in the wings are ex-royals the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Instinctively glamourous with bundles of razzmatazz, the Californian couple have an effortless knack for combining showbiz-gloss and public do-gooding.”

The expert added: “There is a vacuum at the top and the problem with vacuums is that they invite all sorts of unwanted intruders. The royal machine has clearly decided that they can compensate for a depleted public presence with relentless philanthropy on ITV.”

The expert referred to royal charity initiatives including Prince William’s homelessness documentary, claiming “the public will tolerate a bit of charitable hectoring but only if accompanied with a large dollop of fairytale glamour”.

Speaking of previous red carpet appearances by the royals, the expert believes glamour was missing: “That fabulous ‘No Time to Die’ Bond premiere when Camilla and Kate waltzed out in a haze of designer sequins felt like a world away.”

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped down as working royals in 2020, and since King Charles and Princess Kate stepped back from public duties to recover, there was speculation other royals could be brought into the royal fold.

Meghan Markle stepped out in LA for a glitzy launch party and royal fans had one thing to say.

Meghan Markle attended a glitzy LA party on Thursday night without her husband, Prince Harry, and royal fans all said the same thing.

The Duchess of Sussex looked chic in an all black enseble as she stepped out in California to celebrate a new haircare line by the brand Highbrow Hippie, which she has invested in and is co-founded by her friend, Kadi Lee.

Meghan oozed elegance as she was snapped dancing in a black wool strapless top by Khaite (£660) which featured a sweetheart neckline, a pair of black wide-leg trousers and black strappy heeled sandals.

For jewellery, the duchess opted for a gold pendant necklace, which she paired with a pair of gold stud earrings, her wedding ring stack, her Lorraine Schwartz emerald cut diamond pinky ring, her beloved gold Tank Française watch by Cartier (£28,200) and the same brand’s yellow gold Love bracelet (£7,050).

Royal fans were impressed with Meghan’s look and took to social media to express their adoration.

One wrote on Instagram: “She looks amazing.”

Another agreed: “She looks gorgeous as usual.”

A third said: “Looks like it was a smashing event. Meghan believes in and invests in women.”

Meanwhile, another commented on X: “Meghan Markle is the epitome of great style!”

A fifth said: “Meghan looks happy and healthy both mentally and physically. She is in a good space right now.”

While a sixth added: “Seeing Meghan Markle happy literally brings me happiness.”

The Duchess spoke about her investment in the company Highbrow Hippie, previously telling Instyle: “I am so proud to invest in [Kadi] as a friend and as a female founder.

“Kadi has a mastery of hair health, and her Highbrow Hippie collection is a perfect reflection of that.”

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Create Tension for Prince William Following His Monarchy Plans Revelation

 

Prince William has been advised to proceed with caution as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle seem set to regroup with the royal family.

The Prince of Wales recently shared his vision for his future reign, emphasizing a greater focus on philanthropic initiatives. His comments, which outlined a shift toward charitable projects, raised some eyebrows across the royal circle.

Following this statement, King Charles honored artists from the UK’s film and TV community with a reception at Buckingham Palace, accompanied by his wife, Queen Camilla. The monarch later made a solo appearance at the royal premiere of the Hollywood blockbuster *Gladiator II*.

However, royal historian Dr. Tessa Dunlop raised concerns about the absence of other royal family members at such events, suggesting that this could be a sign of the former working royals, including Harry and Meghan, potentially returning to the fold.

In an interview with *The Mirror*, Dr. Dunlop remarked, “He was up against Gladiatorial men—squaring up to Paul Mescal and Pedro Pascal is no mean feat—but the King looked inescapably alone on the red carpet at Leicester Square last night. There was no retro glamour, no tinsel, no tiaras.”

She continued, commenting on the absence of Queen Camilla, who was unable to attend due to a chest infection. “To compensate, I longed for the King to wear an ermine gown, or pop a crown on his head. Instead, he dutifully made his way down the line of stellar names.”

Dr. Dunlop also reflected on a more glamorous time, recalling the royal family’s appearance at the *No Time to Die* premiere, where Queen Camilla and Kate Middleton graced the red carpet in stunning designer dresses.

“The Royal Family’s absence from these events creates a vacuum,” she said. “And the problem with vacuums is that they invite all sorts of unwanted intruders.”

While she praised William’s vision for a more understated, modern monarchy, Dr. Dunlop warned that the royal family must be cautious. “They might think they’re above such glitzy gimmicks, but that would be a mistake. After all, standing in the wings are ex-royals, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.”

As tensions rise, the question remains whether Harry and Meghan’s potential return could challenge Prince William’s evolving approach to the monarchy.

King Charles recently expressed his emotion at one of Queen Camilla’s latest projects.

King Charles was left emotional after Queen Camilla’s recent move – so much so that he even shed a few tears.

The royal couple hosted a reception at Buckingham Palace for some of the most prominent figures working in TV and film. While talking to some TV producers, he made an emotional confession.

Queen Camilla made a landmark documentary on the source of domestic abuse, which made King Charles emotional as he hosted the event to celebrate the centenary of the Film and TV Charity.

British actor, Damian Lewis, told the King he had watched his wife’s documentary on ITV and that he had been moved by it.

“It’s very moving, isn’t it?” Charles said, according to The Mirror. “I think BAFTA are interested in it.”

Chatting to two of the makers of the Queen’s programme, Kerene Barefield and Naveed Chowdhary-Flatt from Love Monday Productions, Charles said: “I was moved to tears.” when he watched a preview of it in Scotland. He added: “I really am very proud.”

Queen Camilla talked animatedly with actress Emily Mortimer about her mother Penelope, whom she knows personally.

“Penny sends her love,” Mortimer told her. When Her Majesty enquired about how she was, the actress laughed and said: “Oh, she’s still smoking as much as ever.”

“Oh she’s still on the fags!” laughed the Queen. “Yes she’s still on the fags!” giggled Mortimer.

Speaking to legendary director Sir Ridley Scott about his new blockbuster film Gladiator II, Camilla gave her apologies for not attending the premiere in London later that evening due to her recovery from a chest infection.

She said: “I am so sorry I’m not coming tonight. I’d be coughing throughout it.” The director clasped his hands and told her not to worry at all. The Queen said she had felt “absolutely rotten” last week but was definitely “on the mend”.

Many other esteemed figures in the film industry attended the event. Others attendees included British actor Henry Golding – who told the King how nice it was to be “back on British soil” after after living in LA for 17 years – Emily in Paris star Lucian Laviscount, Mo Gilligan, Claudia Winkleman, India Amarteifio, who played young Queen Charlotte in the Bridgestone spin off, and director Gurinder Chadha.

The King is Patron of the Film and TV Charity, succeeding Queen Elizabeth II, who had held the patronage since 1952.

Founded in 1924, to help people working in the screen industries to overcome a spectrum of personal and professional challenges, today it continues to offer counselling and support with mental health, legal, and financial advice.

Celebrating those who work within the television and film industry in the UK, their Majesties met guests including directors, actors, TV presenters, stunt performers and costume designers.

There was even an opportunity to view a number of costumes and items from films including Titanic (1997), Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003), and the late Dame

CEO of the Film and TV Charity, Marcus Ryder, said: “In a film you don’t even see the tip of the iceberg. You see the snow that covers the tip of the iceberg. And we have to realise we have to support all the people who make the magic.

“It’s incumbent on us to celebrate and support them. Many of the industry are freelance with little job security. They deserve our support.”

Prince Harry Furious After Discovering Meghan Markle Registered 11 Companies Under Her Lawyer’s Name

 

Imagine waking up to realize that everything you thought was under your control was actually being managed by someone else. That’s how Prince Harry felt when he recently discovered that all 11 of the Delaware-based companies he shares with Meghan Markle were registered under her lawyer’s name and office address. This revelation is shocking, as it suggests that something had been set up without his knowledge. Was this simply an oversight, or is there a deeper story at play?

Delaware is a small state on the East Coast, known for its business-friendly laws. For Prince Harry, who moved to the US to escape royal life, this decision to use Delaware had practical implications. These 11 companies were part of Harry and Meghan’s plan to build an independent brand outside of their royal ties. However, Harry was taken aback when he found out that all these companies were registered under Meghan’s lawyer’s name and office address.

This discovery raises questions about control and decision-making. Was this decision made without Harry’s knowledge? Or was there a practical reason behind it? Let’s dig deeper to find out.

This situation isn’t just about business—it’s about trust. Harry and Meghan have long sought financial independence, but finding out that everything is tied to Meghan’s legal team puts a twist in their journey. Imagine being in charge of something important only to realize you weren’t actually in control. That’s how Harry feels now—a mixture of surprise, confusion, and maybe even a sense of betrayal.

Delaware isn’t just a random choice—it’s a haven for businesses, known for its tax advantages and privacy protections. For high-profile individuals like Harry and Meghan, Delaware offers anonymity, favorable tax laws, and ease of company formation. But why did Meghan’s legal team take the lead in setting up the companies? Was it just about paperwork, or is there a larger, more strategic move at play? This raises more questions about control and autonomy. For Harry, who left royal life in search of independence, the situation might feel like a power shift he didn’t expect.

Most of us have felt the frustration of relying on someone else’s expertise and realizing we’re not the ones calling the shots. For Harry, this could be one of those moments—a balancing act between trust and autonomy.

In any partnership, there’s a give and take. For Harry and Meghan, balancing their public personas, shared ambitions, and private lives is a unique challenge. This revelation could raise doubts about Harry’s role in their business empire. This isn’t just about paperwork; it’s about aligning their visions and making sure both partners feel valued.

Curiosity Builder: Will this revelation force a shift in how they handle their business ventures, or will it bring them closer as they navigate these uncharted waters together?

While Harry and Meghan’s situation may seem unique, it highlights a common issue in partnerships: transparency and shared control. Whether you’re starting a family business, working on a project with a friend, or managing finances with a partner, trust and communication are essential.

Actionable Tips:

Open Communication: Always ensure that both parties understand the legal and financial aspects of any shared venture.

Regular Check-ins: Establish times to review financial and legal decisions together.

Seek Neutral Advice: Sometimes a third-party adviser can help ensure both sides feel equally heard.

At its core, this situation is about autonomy, trust, and partnership. For Harry and Meghan, this revelation is a reminder that even the most carefully planned ventures can reveal surprising dynamics. As they continue to build their brand, the couple may now take a closer look at how decisions are made and ensure both have a voice in their shared empire. This discovery could mark the beginning of a new chapter in their partnership, one that emphasizes transparency and shared control.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s experience teaches us all about the importance of trust, communication, and a shared vision in any partnership. While this discovery may have been a shock, it offers an opportunity for reflection and a chance to strengthen their foundation. By addressing the issues head-on, they have the potential to build a more balanced, transparent relationship.

Curiosity Builder: Will this revelation force a shift in how they handle their business ventures, or will it bring them closer as they navigate these uncharted waters together?

Stepping away from royal duties was more than a title change for Harry and Meghan—it was a chance to create something meaningful on their own terms. But this revelation shows that building a brand as a couple, especially when one partner has more experience in legal and business matters, can be more complex than it seems.

Remember those group projects where everyone brings different skills, but one person makes all the decisions without consulting the rest? Frustrating, right? That’s how Harry might feel—realizing autonomy is much more complicated than he thought.

Curiosity Builder: How will Harry and Meghan address this gap in perspective? Will they set new ground rules to ensure both voices are equally represented?n

The stakes are high for Harry and Meghan as they build their empire outside the royal family. Their ventures, like R2 Productions, show their desire to make an impact on the world, but maintaining clarity and control is key to ensuring their legacy lasts. For Harry, knowing Meghan’s lawyers and offices are in charge might feel misaligned, but it could also offer an opportunity to assert his involvement and bring his voice to their projects.

Rhetorical Question: What kind of legacy do they want to leave behind? Can they build something lasting if they’re not both fully aware and in agreement on every decision?

Actionable Tips for Partnerships:

Define Roles Clearly: Each partner’s role and responsibilities should be outlined to avoid misunderstandings.

Document Decisions Together: Recording significant decisions ensures clarity and prevents later confusion.

Hold Regular Strategy Sessions: Scheduled sessions can help both partners stay aligned on both major and minor decisions.

Harry and Meghan’s situation demonstrates how personal relationships and professional ambitions intertwine. Their journey is about reinvention and finding new ways to work together. For couples in business, balancing personal and professional goals can be tricky, but thriving in this space requires understanding, respecting boundaries, and allowing for both shared and individual growth.

We’ve all had moments where a loved one’s approach to a shared goal didn’t match our expectations. It can feel like an emotional tug-of-war—do you push back, compromise, or find a middle ground?

Curiosity Builder: Will Harry and Meghan redefine their roles in their business ventures, or will this discovery lead to a new understanding of their partnership?

As they navigate these complexities, Harry and Meghan’s journey also reflects broader truths about self-discovery through business and personal growth. For Harry, every step into the business world brings new insights about himself. This discovery could serve as a pivotal moment in his journey toward self-empowerment.

In any endeavor—whether it’s starting a new job, building a business, or shifting personal relationships—each discovery is a building block toward who we’re becoming. When something doesn’t go as planned, it can open up opportunities to better understand ourselves and our goals.

For Harry and Meghan, this revelation presents both a challenge and an opportunity. By addressing these issues openly, they have the chance to fortify their partnership and redefine their approach to business. Transparency and trust will be their greatest assets as they continue to grow together.

Actionable Tips for Couples in Business:

Set a Common Vision: Craft a shared mission statement that aligns with both partners’ values.

Create a Check-in System: Regular check-ins on major projects will help both feel equally involved.

Encourage Open Dialogue: Make space for both partners to share ideas, concerns, and dreams.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s situation serves as a reminder about the importance of trust and clarity in a partnership. As they continue to navigate their business ventures, their experience highlights how transparency, shared vision, and mutual respect are the building blocks of lasting legacies.

An unearhted clip of the moment Meghan Markle “lost her spark” has gone viral on social media and royal fans had one thing to say.

Meghan Markle has gone viral on social media after a clip of her attending her first Remembrance Sunday service as a working royal resurfaced again following the recent commemorations for the annual event.

The Royal Family put up a united front last weekend after what’s been dubbed a challenging year for the Firm following some health woes.

Princess Kate made a grand return by joining the rest of the royals at The Cenotaph in London.

Following the latest news, a clip of the Duchess of Sussex attending the same event back in 2018 went viral on TikTok, with many royal fans commenting how it showed that it was the moment when Meghan “lost her spark” during a time which her and Prince Harry’s ongoing feud with the royals is believed to have sparked.

The month before, Harry and Meghan embarked on a royal tour to Australia and just days before the event in November, rumours had started swirling regarding the royal feud.

 

The clip, which has been watched 205,000 times and liked by more than 9,200 people, was shared with the caption: “Once Upon A Time when Rememberance Service was something to look forward to.

“And this when i knew my Princess Meghan lost her spark. I could see it in her eyes.

“But thank God she made it out now she and her beautiful family is blossoming.”

Royal fans seemed to agree with the video’s caption and took to the comments to express their views.

One user wrote: “Those people really took away her spark, but look at her now, she is sparkling.”

A second one added: “Meghan was not in the room with us. You can see the sadness. Thank God she has the light back in her eyes.”

Another commented: “One day the Royal Family will beg them two to come back.”

A fourth said: “Bless her. She looks so frightened.”

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex ended up on stepping down as senior working royals two years later, moving to the US where they now reside with their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

 

Meghan Markle’s strained relationship with her father has drawn significant media attention in recent years. The father-daughter pair have remained out of contact, with the Duchess of Sussex reportedly restricting her father’s access to his grandchildren due to their rift.

 

 

Meghan Markle, now a part of the British royal family through her marriage to Prince Harry, shares two children with him. While she maintains a close bond with her mother, Doria Ragland, her relationship with her father, Thomas Markle, took a different turn, resulting in a well-publicized estrangement.

Meghan and her father used to have a warm relationship. In a 2021 interview, Thomas shared an emotional memory of his daughter’s birth in 1981, noting that he was the first to hold her. “I fell in love with her and I’d been that way for 40 years,” said the Pennsylvania native who has two older children from his first marriage.

Meghan also reflected on her childhood in an essay for Elle magazine and revealed her parents met in the late ’70s. Her father worked as a lighting director for a soap opera, while her mother was a temp at the studio.
After marrying in 1979, the couple moved to an affordable, tree-lined neighborhood in L.A.’s San Fernando Valley. Despite the close-knit bond she shared with both parents in her early years, Meghan’s family life shifted when her parents divorced in 1987

As she grew up, the public figure pursued a career in acting, eventually crossing paths with Prince Harry in 2016. Yet, in the midst of her rising success and high-profile relationship, her father made a mistake that would later contribute to the strain in their relationship.

Amid Meghan and Prince Harry’s engagement in 2017, Thomas faced health issues, including a heart attack just days before the wedding in May 2018. He shared that stress, partly due to his eldest daughter’s public remarks against Meghan, worsened his condition.

Thomas revealed he hadn’t heard from Meghan since news broke that he wouldn’t attend the wedding, though he felt her mother was a good choice to walk her down the aisle. After a brief stay at a hospital in Mexico, he expressed concerns about his health, fearing he might suffer another heart attack.

Just ahead of the wedding, Meghan announced in a statement from Kensington Palace, “Sadly, my father will not be attending our wedding.”

In her father’s absence, then Prince Charles ultimately walked her down the aisle. Reflecting on this, Thomas expressed his appreciation saying, “I certainly couldn’t have asked for a better replacement. Although, I would love to have done that.”

The father of three missed the wedding following backlash over staged photos he sold to a photo agency. He explained that he hadn’t intended to harm Meghan or the Royal Family, but was frustrated with paparazzi who had repeatedly caught him in unflattering situations, often misrepresenting him

Thomas divulged that he had declined high-paying interview offers since Meghan started dating the prince. He accepted a smaller fee from a photo agency, hoping the images would improve his public image. However, he later admitted the photos looked “stupid and hammy” and expressed regret over his decision.

Thomas’s secret collaboration with a British paparazzo for staged photos caused embarrassment for the Royal Family ahead of the wedding, especially after Prince Harry’s earlier pleas for media restraint.

The situation was particularly upsetting for the Duke of Sussex, who had previously spoken out against paparazzi behavior, recalling how similar pursuits had led to his mother, Princess Diana’s tragic death in 1997.

As such, during Thomas’s recovery in the hospital, the royal reached out, remarking, “If you’d listened to me, none of this would have happened.”
Thomas reportedly ended the call abruptly—a decision he later came to regret, acknowledging that this moment marked the beginning of their rift.

Following the initial fallout, he confided to friends in July 2018 that he hadn’t spoken to Meghan or Prince Harry in a long time. He feared he might never see his daughter again.
Heartbroken over their growing estrangement, he expressed a sense of finality, saying, “I think they’re shot of me now,” as he struggled to understand why he’d been excluded from Meghan’s life. Thomas later claimed he had been set up to disrupt the wedding, presenting himself as a victim in the situation.
Adding to the strain, Meghan had written him a personal letter, which was subsequently leaked by a media outlet. This breach of privacy led Meghan to pursue legal action against the outlet for sharing the contents of her private message.

Due to their ongoing rift, Meghan’s father has never met her two kids, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, whom she welcomed in 2019 and 2021, respectively.

Thomas has since voiced his wish to see his grandchildren. He revealed in a 2023 interview that he first learned of Lilibet’s birth through media reports.

The distance between Meghan and her father only deepened after he suffered a stroke in May 2022, temporarily losing his ability to speak. Thomas shared that neither Meghan nor Prince Harry had reached out to check on him.

Reflecting on this, he admitted, “I’m heartbroken. I’m very upset,” describing it as painful and “cruel” for them to keep him from seeing his grandchildren. The animosity between the father and daughter remains, with Thomas reportedly no longer considering Meghan his daughter.

In a candid interview with Oprah Winfrey, Meghan discussed her strained relationship with Thomas. She recounted how the media’s intense pursuit led tabloids to track down her father, even setting up near his home.
The royal revealed her efforts to protect him from the press, yet Thomas ultimately went behind her back to speak with them. Feeling betrayed, she explained that he basically lied about his involvement, which contributed to their estrangement.

Despite the ongoing conflict, Thomas still believes he was a good father and does not deserve this treatment from Meghan Markle. His final hope is for his daughter to reach out, bridging the distance that has kept their family apart.

Meghan Markle could turn out to be a “roadblock” in Prince Harry’s reconciliation with the royals, says source.

Meghan Markle has reportedly posed a “dealbreaker” to Prince Harry regarding any reconciliaton talks with the Royal Family as she does not want to get “sidelined” in the process, a source has claimed.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been estranged from the Royal Family since they quit their royal duties and moved to America in 2020, with the rift between the two camps becoming even frostier after the Montecito couple made a series of explosive claims against the Firm.

Harry and Prince William are reportedly not on speaking terms at the moment.

But recently, following King Charles and the Princess of Wales’s cancer diagnosis this year, as well as the Sussexes’s professional seperation to focus on their individual interests, reports suggested that a new path for a royal reconciliation may be open.

Heat World magazine has cited a source claiming that while Meghan is keen for Harry to “bury the hatchet” and make peace with his family, she wants to be involved in the equation.

They told the magazine: “Meghan is all for Harry making peace with his family, but she’s not going to let them sideline her in the process.

“She’s been very clear that she’s not about to let William, or anyone else, drive a wedge between her and Harry.

“Any attempt to handle things with just Harry is a no-go.

“She feels strongly that she and Harry a team, and if his family wants to welcome him back but not her, that will be a dealbreaker.”

They added that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are still very much a “package deal” .

The source explained: “There is a big worry that Meghan could turn out to be a real roadblock in the peace talks.

“Kate is still very optimistic, she’s seen a lot of changes in Harry, and she does believe he’s ready to compromise and let some of the past go, but she’s worried Meghan may stand in the way.”

They added: “As vocal as Harry’s been about wanting to reconcile, a lot of people do feel he’s still under Meghan’s influence and the worry is her stance could make it difficult for him to truly reach out.

“At the end of the day, Meghan and Kate both have very different ideas on what it will take for them to reconcile.”
