Since leaving royal duties in 2020, Harry and Meghan have built new lives in California, signing lucrative media deals and producing high-profile projects. While their Netflix docuseries Harry & Meghan and Harry’s memoir Spare generated worldwide headlines, they also intensified the couple’s strained relationship with the royal family.

Even so, Harrold believes King Charles would welcome a peaceful resolution, though “not at any cost.”

Meghan Facing a Difficult Choice

Royal commentator Duncan Larcombe suggested Meghan may soon face a dilemma if Harry moves toward reconciliation with his family.

Reports indicate that Harry could see his father in person this month for the first time since February 2024. However, a meeting with Prince William appears unlikely.

In May, Harry told the BBC he wanted to mend ties. “I would love reconciliation with my family,” he said. “There’s no point continuing to fight any more, life is precious.” He also admitted his father was not speaking to him at the time.

According to Larcombe, Meghan could be forced into a tough decision. “Does she come with Harry and look the people she’s criticised in the eyes? Or does she allow Harry to come with the children and stay away?” he asked in New! magazine. “If it’s the latter… it would be interpreted as an enormous snub.”

Meghan’s Limited Visits to the UK

Meghan last traveled to Britain in September 2022 for Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral. Since then, she has often remained in California with their children, Archie and Lilibet, while Harry returned for select occasions.

“She wants to be a hands-on mum,” Larcombe explained. “[She] was never prepared to make the sacrifice that royal mums have to make.”
