Prince Harry is reportedly pushing Meghan Markle to take the lead in dealing with the Royal family after his own reconciliation efforts have failed. According to a recent report by Heat Magazine, the Duke of Sussex wants Meghan to “swallow her pride” and reach out to King Charles and Kate Middleton.
A source close to the Sussexes revealed that while Harry “doesn’t want to command Meghan to do anything, he knows the situation with his family is now so far gone.” Given the strained relations, Harry has devised a sensitive strategy to mend fences with his family, with Meghan taking the forefront.
The insider explained, “He now feels like the only way back is to have Meghan reach out to Charles and Kate to try to mend fences. He’s wrestled with so many different scenarios and has tried everything under the sun himself, but he’s gotten nowhere. The only thing that’s left is for Meghan to have a go at fixing things.”
The source further added, “It’s all about being the bigger person and making that first call, and Meghan has reluctantly agreed to it if that’s what Harry wants and needs. Right now, they’re figuring out the best strategy, but Harry’s hoping she’ll have some one-on-one calls with both Kate and Charles.”
Harry believes that despite the royals’ current stance, there is potential for reconciliation. “He feels that the royals may put on this heavy front of wanting nothing to do with her anymore, but, if she makes an effort, they’ll soften towards her, especially if she shows them how compassionate and caring she can be.”
The report highlights the complexities of the Sussexes’ relationship with the royal family, especially after their departure from royal duties and subsequent public statements. Harry’s hope is that a personal, direct approach from Meghan might bridge the gap that has widened over time.
This move, if it materializes, could mark a significant step in the ongoing saga of the Sussexes and their relationship with the royal family. Meghan’s willingness to take this step, despite any personal reservations, underscores the couple’s desire for a resolution and improved relations with Harry’s family. As the Sussexes navigate this delicate situation, the world watches closely, hopeful for a possible reconciliation within the British royal family.
