Meghan Markle, Prince Harry set to put past differences with Kate Middleton aside
Prince Harry, Meghan Markle finally decide to make peace with Kate Middleton
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are said to be desperate to ‘make amends’ with cancer-stricken Princess Kate, according to a new report.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who reportedly reached out to the Princess of Wales before her surprising royal return at the Trooping the Colour ceremony, have decided to put their differences with the royal family aside for a better tomorrow of their kids.
Royal commentator Louise Roberts told Sky News hosts that Harry and Meghan want to let “bygones be bygones”, explaining: “Meghan feels bad for Kate – I mean, she’d have to be completely heartless not to feel bad for her. But the issue now is that they want to actually patch things up, but, I have to ask, what’s the motive, and what’s in it for Kate?”
She went on: “The only reason I could think she would maybe entertain some kind of reconciliation is for the sake of the children. So those little cousins can get to know each other and Charles as grandfather, can get to know his grandchildren in the US.”
Meghan and Harry have been estranged from the royal family ever since the couple quit their royal duties and moved to the US in 2020 where they now live with their two children, prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
The Sussexes’ strained relationship with senior royals was damaged even more after they made a series of claims against the royals through TV interviews, their Netflix docuseries “Harry & Meghan” and the duke’s memoir, “Spare”.
Prince Harry was once very close to his sister-in-law Kate Middleton
Kate Middleton leaves Prince Harry in tears with latest move
Princess of Wales Kate Middleton has reportedly left her brother-in-law Prince Harry in tears and the duke is planning to make things right with the royals.
According to a report by the New Idea, Archie and Lilibet doting father longs to be closer to his UK family, particularly as Kate Middleton is undergoing cancer treatment.
Prince Harry was once so close to Kate Middleton.
The publication, citing an insider, reported “Seeing Kate back on the balcony at Trooping the Colour was incredibly emotional for Harry. He was so relieved.”
However, the source claimed the future queen’s recent statement where she admitted that she is “not out of the woods yet”, hit Prince Harry hard.
Kate Middleton, in a statement ahead of Trooping the Colour, had said “I am making good progress, but as anyone going through chemotherapy will know, there are good days and bad days.
“I’m looking forward to attending The King’s Birthday Parade with my family and hope to join a few public engagements over the summer, but equally knowing I am not out of the woods yet.”

Prince Harry’s ongoing troubled relationship with his father the King and brother Prince William is well known – but the relationship between wife Meghan Markle and her father is also strained.
The Duchess of Sussex and her father, Thomas Markle, has been estranged from his daughter since 2018 and there has reportedly been no contact since.
Mr Markle has never met his daughter’s husband.
The 79-year-old, who turns 80 in July, has also never met his two grandchildren – five-year-old Archie and three-year-old Lilibet.
The retired lighting director now lives in Mexico, just 250 miles from his daughter’s home in California, and said he is baffled by this.

Speaking to the Mail Online, he said: ” When I reflect back on my life, as you do when you are approaching 80, that’s one of the questions I cannot find an answer for
“Why didn’t Harry ever come to meet me? He has the resources to fly around the world – and does – but why didn’t he come to see me, particularly when people in the royal household like Jason Knauf [Harry and Meghan’s former communications secretary] were urging him to do so?
“That has never made sense to me.”

Mr Markle, who has previously given a number of interviews to the press about his relationship with his daughter, said he felt empathy for King Charles, who has rarely seen Harry’s children since his younger son moved to the US.
He told the Mail: “He [The King] is going through cancer treatment and I’m not in the best of health. I’m not afraid of dying. It is what it is.
“I have so many questions I’d like to ask Meghan and Harry. The main one being, why have they treated not only me but the Royal Family and the King so badly?”
King Charles may even visit America to meet with Harry, Meghan Markle and their two children.

King Charles seems “willing to find a resolution” to his bitter feud with Prince Harry, with reports suggesting he plans to make a trip to see his son.
The father and son have been taking small steps to reconcile, even reuniting in London earlier this year in a bid to put an end to their bitter feud. However, the pair did not meet during Harrys last UK visit for the Invictus Games, highlighting the unresolved issues within the family.
Now, royal author Tom Quinn has claimed Charles has had discussions about visiting America to meet with Harry, Meghan Markle and their two children – Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. Relationship expert Louella Alderson believes it could be the first step in Harry and Charles resolving their differences, according to The Mirror.
By visiting his son in America Charles would be making “a significant gesture of his desire to mend their relationship” and it’s “possible that he may be more willing to address any issues and work towards finding a resolution than he has been previously.”
Louella Alderson claimes that ultimately, “the success of this trip and potential reconciliation between King Charles and Harry will depend on both parties being open and committed to resolving their differences.”
Although Charles deeply loves his son, the King finds it hard to let go of his resentment towards Prince Harry, according to royal biographer Christopher Andersen.

Allegedly, Harry’s critique of Camilla further complicates matters. Sharing his insights, Andersen stated: “I think people have to realise that the one thing that Charles finds unforgivable is criticism of Camilla.”
Emphasising Harry’s sentiments towards Camilla, Andersen said,”Prince Harry made it clear that he felt she was the villain in the piece.”
Writing in Spare, the Duke of Sussex dubbed Camilla “the villain” and wrong at length about their strained relationship.
“I think that still bothers the king, and I don’t know that it will be easy for him to [forgive]. I don’t think they’ll ever forgive Harry for that.”
Prince Harry has opened up about the last time he spoke to his mother Princess Diana and shared his biggest “regret” from the conversation, which took place hours before her tragic death

Prince Harry has confessed to feeling “regret” over his last conversation with his late mother, Princess Diana. The beloved Princess of Wales tragically lost her life on August 31, 1997, in a fatal car accident in Paris, which also claimed the lives of her partner Dodi Fayed and their driver Henri Paul.
Prior to the devastating crash, Diana had a phone call with Harry and his brother Prince William, which didn’t go as Harry had hoped. In his memoir ‘Spare’, he shared: “I wished I’d dug deep, told my mother all the things weighing on my heart, especially my regret over the last time we’d spoken on the phone.
“She’d called early in the evening, the night of the crash, but I was running around with Willy and my cousins and didn’t want to stop playing. So I’d been short with her. Impatient to get back to my games, I’d rushed Mummy off the phone.”
He added: “I wished I’d apologised for it. I wished I’d searched for the words to describe how much I loved her.”

Elsewhere in ‘Spare’, Harry revealed his yearning for his mother following her untimely death.
He also expressed that any comparisons between Diana, Nelson Mandela and Mother Teresa felt “wide off the mark”. While acknowledging these comparisons were made out of love, he described his mother as “simply indescribable”, reports the Mirror.
Prince Harrys spoke about remembering the infectious “devastating smile” and “vulnerable eyes” of his beloved mother, Princess Diana, highlighting how her passion for clothes, sweets, and music are cherished memories that he and estranged older brother William hold dear.
The Duke of Sussex continues to follow his mother’s legacy and often speaks of her with affection. In a homage at a Sentebale charity event in April, Harry honoured Diana’s influential work in the battle against HIV and AIDS, especially her focus on young people whose futures are compromised by the disease.

Prince Harry has previously reflected on his and Meghan Markle’s decision to move to America after stepping down as working royals in 2020.

Prince Harry has reflected on his decision to step down as a working royal and move to America, alongside his wife, Meghan Markle, noting his thoughts in his explosive memoir, Spare.
Despite reports of rocky relations between Harry, Meghan and the Royal Family, since the release of the memoir and live TV interviews, Harry wrote he fled the UK “in fear of our sanity and physical safety”.
In Spare, he describes a visit to Frogmore Cottage, following his return to the UK for Prince Philip’s funeral where he talks about his reasons for moving. He writes: “When my wife and I fled this place, in fear for our sanity and physical safety, I wasn’t sure when I’d ever come back. That was January 2020. Now, fifteen months later, here I was, days after waking to thirty-two missed calls and then one short, heart-racing talk with Granny: Harry… Grandpa’s gone.”
Author Omid Scobie has previously written about Meghan’s decision not to come back to the UK. In his book Endgame, Omid said Meghan “never wants to set foot again in England.” He claimed she didn’t want to “dive back into the soap opera of the court”.

Harry lost a High Court challenge against the UK Government over his security when he visits UK (Image: Getty)
Since living in America, Harry has been battling decisions regarding his level of security during visits to the UK. The Duke of Sussex will be able to appeal against a High Court ruling which dismissed his challenge to downgrade his level of personal security when he visits the UK.
Prince Harry first took legal action against the Home Office in 2020 over a decision that he should receive a different degree of taxpayer-funded protection after stepping down as a working royal.
In February, the High Court ruled that the decision was lawful and dismissed Harry’s case, before in April refusing him permission to challenge that ruling in a higher court.
But the Court of Appeal has now said it will hear his challenge following a direct application from Harry’s lawyers. His case against the government is one of a series of legal challenges the prince has brought to the court.

Meghan has rarely visited the UK since stepping back from royal duties (Image: Getty)
Harry and Meghan’s relocation to America was primarily motivated by their desire to prioritise their family’s mental health as also stated on James Corden’s ‘The Late Late Show’ in 2021 on CBS.
Asked by Corden about the couple’s decision to walk away from royal duties, Prince Harry said: “It was a really difficult environment as a lot of people saw. We all know what the British press can be like. And it was destroying my mental health. I was like, this is toxic.”
Prince Harry last visited the UK for the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games in May in a rare public appearance, with the strained relationship with his family dominating attention, as King Charles was not in attendance, nor any immediate Royal Family members.
Before that, Harry had previously visited the UK to visit his dad, King Charles, after his public announcement regarding his cancer diagnosis. Harry had made a quick 25-hour visit to London to pop into Clarence House for a meeting with the King before returning to the US.
Prince Harry and Meghan LIVE: Duchess reeling after huge ‘Taylor Swift’ rejection
Meghan Markle had previously invited the American megastar Taylor Swift to appear on one episode of her now-defunct Spotify podcast.

Meghan Markle was once again “rejected” by international idol Taylor Swift because she is “team Wales,” a royal commentator has claimed.
Over the weekend, Prince William treated Prince George and Princess Charlotte to the first of her three-night Eras Tour concerts in London. The trio took selfies with Swift, who thanked her “m8” the Prince of Wales for bringing the family to see her perform.
Swift had previously rejected an invitation by the Duchess of Sussex to take part in her Spotify podcast series Archetype before it was shut down last year despite Meghan personally reaching out, it’s been reported.
Speaking to GB News, commentator Kinsey Schofield said: “Now, remember, Meghan Markle had requested for Taylor to be her podcast.
“She wrote her a handwritten letter and Taylor’s team rejected it. Meghan also later released through People magazine that she had spent some time at a Taylor Swift concert.
“So I think we are seeing our Taylor side with Team Wales here over the last few hours. Also, you know, a lot of people pointing out the pictures of Meghan and Harry at the Beyoncé concert, where Harry looks pretty miserable versus Prince William shaking his tail feathers at the Taylor Swift concert. You’re just seeing that Prince William is pursuing joy. And I think that is important.”

he royal who could replace Prince Harry and become ‘William’s Princess Anne’
Zara Tindall could become Prince William’s Princess Anne in a “slimmed down monarchy” when he takes the throne, a royal commentator has suggested.
Angela Mollard, a columnist for News Corp, said Zara and William are the “best of friends”, and if she were in his shoes, it would make sense “pulling in” somebody as “trusted” and “faithful” as Zara.
Her comments came after Zara, who is Princess Anne’s daughter and William’s cousin, made an appearance at Ladies’ Day at Royal Ascot with her husband, Mike Tindall, last week.

Meghan Markle is facing an impossible choice over coming back to the UK
COMMENT: When Prince Harry travelled back to the UK last month to celebrate 10 years of the Invictus Games, a huge talking point surrounding the occasion was whether Meghan Markle would return with him.
The Invictus Games has been an important part of their relationship ever since Harry and Meghan debuted as a couple at the tournament in Toronto in 2017.
Ever since then the Duchess of Sussex has accompanied her husband all over the world with Invictus, from Australia to the Netherlands to Germany, with the countdown to Canada 2025 already underway.
However Britain apparently remains a no-go still for Meghan, who only came back here in 2022 for the Platinum Jubilee and the late Queen Elizabeth’s funeral just three months later.
With polls suggesting her popularity has plummeted and commentators raking over every little detail of everything she does, is it any wonder that Meghan has chosen to stay away?

Meghan Markle’s ‘clumsy publicity stunt’ blasted by critics
Meghan Markle has come under fire for another “clumsy” misstep, with some royal experts criticising her insensitive approach to publicity.
Nacho Figueras, a polo player and friend of Meghan and Prince Harry’s, recently posted about her latest American Riviera Orchard release just before Trooping the Colour on June 15.
The Daily Mail’s Richard Eden observed: “Meghan has done these publicity stunts where she’s sent out goods and encouraged friends and influencers to post about it.
“But you never know when they’re going to do it or what they’ll say so it’s completely out of your control.
“Yes, you get great publicity when these people say, ‘I got my latest jam,’ but it’s embarrassing if it’s just before Catherine’s appearance at Trooping. It can look very pointed.”
Colleague Rebecca English agreed, speaking on Palace Confidential: “It is clumsy. You can’t expect them to have known that the announcement was coming out because people don’t tell them things because they don’t trust them.”

‘Everything changed’ between Prince Harry and Prince William when Meghan Markle came along
Meghan Markle coming along changed everything for Prince Harry and Prince William who had been “inseparable” before the Duchess of Sussex arrived on the scene, a royal photographer has claimed.
Arthur Edwards, who has photographed the Royal Family for 40 years, said the “worst” thing about the Duke of Sussex’s current relations with the Windsors was the rift between himself and William.
Mr Edwards said: “They were inseparable. They would always joke about each other… They were fun. And then Meghan came along and, suddenly, everything changed.”

Thomas Markle opens up on major fear about Meghan Markle and her children
Meghan Markle’s dad, Thomas Markle, turns 80 in just a few weeks’ time, and he has mixed emotions about hitting an important milestone in his life, feeling that everything has been “overshadowed” by what has happened in the last six years.
Growing up, Meghan had a close relationship with her father, but the two have been estranged for the past six years, making a reconciliation in the future unlikely – they have not seen each other since before her wedding to Prince Harry.
Mr Markle was unable to walk her down the aisle after he also suffered heart attacks on the eve of their wedding – and the couple have not spoken since. To this day, Mr Markle has also never met his grandchildren Prince Archie, five, Princess Lilibet, three.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, he said: “I’ve never been one for birthdays, but I know the one person I most want to hear from, Meghan, won’t be in touch. I would love to meet my grandchildren, but I would be happy with a photograph at this stage.”

Charles’ relationship with Prince Harry is ‘unforgivable’ and will ‘never be repaired’
King Charles is reportedly struggling to let go of his resentment towards Prince Harry, despite his love for his son, according to a royal expert.
Royal biographer Christopher Andersen has confessed that he believes it may be impossible for Charles to overlook Harry’s claims in his book Spare.
The situation is further complicated by Harry’s criticism of Camilla, the expert claims. Mr Andersen said: “I think people have to realise that the one thing that Charles finds unforgivable is criticism of Camilla.”
Speaking to Fox News Digital, he said that “no criticism” of Camilla could be deemed acceptable and that “unfortunately for Harry” he has said “some pretty devastating things about her.”
He added: “Prince Harry made it clear that he felt she was the villain in the piece.”
“I think that still bothers the king, and I don’t know that it will be easy for him to [forgive]. I don’t think they’ll ever forgive Harry for that.”

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle becoming ‘irrelevant’ to the Royal Family
Time may be ticking for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to rejoin the Royal Family.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have become “irrelevant” to the remaining members of the Royal Family, according to an expert.
Richard Eden also said that Meghan and Harry are “not wanted” by the Royal Family.
Talking on Palace Confidential the Daily Mail diary editor said “if Harry wants to come back at any stage, he needs to do it while his father is still King,” as he argued William is unlikely to be as welcoming.
He added: “I really think that when Prince William is King, I can’t see him letting Harry come back and have a role again.
“They are irrelevant now, they are just not wanted as part of the monarchy, maybe there could be some radical change but it’s hard to see.”
There has been a stark change in direction from the Sussexes on the public’s ability to see their children grow.

Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan Markle are entering a “new era” of privacy for their children, according to a royal expert.
The Sussexes have given the public the ability to see their children in projects they have undertaken despite stepping back from being working royals in 2020.
Viewers could watch Prince Archie, now five, in the couple’s bombshell interview with Oprah and then they shared a photo of Princess Lilibet, now three, to celebrate her first birthday.
But the Sussexes did not publicly mark Father’s Day on Sunday and a royal expert says this could be a sign of things to come.
Jack Royston, Newsweek’s chief royal correspondent, told Sky News: “It’s interesting that we didn’t get any Father’s Day content from Harry and Meghan.
The pair could now decide to make their children’s lives private (Image: Getty)
“I think they really have hit a new era of definitely wanting to keep their children in private.”
He added: “But then we’ve had nothing this year of Lilibet and we’ve had nothing for Father’s Day and it does feel like they’ve now hit a point where we perhaps won’t see the kids again.”
Meanwhile, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been warned that they may face a “difficult problem” when their children grow up and start asking questions about the wider Royal Family
The relationship between the Sussexes and the Firm worsened after the pair made a number of accusations against them in their Netflix docuseries.
Royal author Phil Dampier spoke on the Sun’s Royal Exclusive show and said it will be “fascinating to see those kids grow up”.
He added: “When they get a bit older, are they going to start asking questions ‘how have we got to this situation’, ‘how is it I don’t see my grandparents’, ‘how is it I don’t have anything to do with the Royal Family?’
“When they get old, that’s probably when the problem is going to start and it’s going to be difficult for them.”
THOMAS Markle says he and King Charles have been treated “so badly” by Harry and Meghan – claiming he could die without ever meeting his grandkids.
Meghan’s father has been estranged from his daughter since suffering two heart attacks on the eve of her wedding to Harry.

The 80-year-old was unable to walk Meghan down the aisle and the couple have not spoken to him since.
Thomas has never met his son-in-law Harry or his grandchildren Archie and Lilibet.
King Charles has also rarely seen his grandchildren by Harry and Meghan since their move to California in 2020.
Thomas told the Mail: “Neither of us deserves the treatment we’ve received.
“Why have they treated not only me but the Royal Family and the King so badly?
“Archie and Lilibet have two grandpas who want to see them, one of whom is the King of England.”
Thomas lives alone in Rosarito on Mexico’s Pacific coast – just 250 miles from the Sussexes’ mansion in Montecito.
The Emmy-winning lighting director will turn 80 next month – but is suffering the effects of a serious stroke two years ago.
He added he would now be happy with a photograph of his grandchildren even if he cannot meet them.
Meghan lived full-time with Thomas from the age of 11 while her mum Doria travelled for work.

I watched Prince Harry grow up – I know why he won’t EVER return to royal life
A ROYAL expert who watched Prince Harry grow up says she knows why he won’t ever to return to royal life.
Harry has lived in California with his wife Meghan since they dramatically quit their jobs as working royals in 2020.
Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond said Harry would be a “great asset” for the palace.
But she said California-based Harry now has the “domestic bliss” he lacked as a child.
Appearing on today’s episode of The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show, Bond said: “I can’t see Harry returning, really.
“And yes – I do miss him. Harry was the most popular royal a couple of years ago, wasn’t he?
“Having watched him grow up and knowing him just a little bit, he was a wonderful little boy and a charming, jovial adolescent.
“At least that’s what we saw. He was brilliant for the royal family, he did bring a natural common touch and relatability.
“They would have been a great asset had he stayed but I don’t think he will return.
“If I did pray I would pray that he has a happy life now with all that he wanted.
“The freedom he craved, the wife he loves and the children he adores.
“The model of domestic bliss that he didn’t have in his own adolescence.
Loose Women panellist Brenda Edwards has said she ‘loves’ working on the ITV show, but has denied a feud between her fellow co-stars
Loose Women’s Brenda Edwards has dismissed rumours of a feud among the show’s stars. The 55-year-old joined the popular ITV show as a panellist in 2019, initially stepping in for regular presenter Linda Robson.
By 2020, Brenda became a full-time member and maintains that she still ‘loves it’. Despite hints of discord among the presenters, with ex-host Carol McGiffin once stating she “wasn’t welcomed” and “doesn’t miss” the show, Brenda insists there’s no bad blood.
In a chat with Woman’s Own, she clarified: “I get on with everybody – I’m not involved in anything. Everyone says we don’t get on, but we do. I get on with everybody and I just keep myself to myself and enjoy the show.”

Brenda expressed her gratitude to Loose Women for providing her a platform. The programme has seen her discuss serious topics, including the tragic death of her son Jamal, the founder of SB.TV, reports the Express.
However, the lively debates on the show have also fuelled speculation about potential feuds among the celebrities. Coleen Nolan is one of those who have previously ignited such rumours, alleging that people “behind the scenes weren’t being nice”. Speaking to OK! Magazine, Coleen confessed she “fell out of love with it for a bit”.
Coleen opened up to the press about her experience on the show, revealing: “It was because certain people behind the scenes weren’t being nice and I wasn’t enjoying it. Then those people went onto other things and great people came in, and I’ve loved it ever since.”
