Duchess of Sussex eyes reconciliation but faces royal conditions

Meghan Markle is reportedly exploring the possibility of a “part-time” reunion with the Royal Family amid financial challenges faced with Prince Harry. Sources suggest that she envisions spending eight months a year in California and the rest renting an apartment at Kensington Palace.

Meghan sees this arrangement as a potential strategy to repair strains in her marriage with Prince Harry and mend relations with King Charles, who has expressed a desire for family reunification. However, the envisaged reunion comes with a crucial condition — Meghan and Harry must refrain from speaking negatively about the Royal Family in the future. An insider emphasized that this condition is non-negotiable, stating, “Meghan and Harry have to agree not to speak ill of the royals again.”

Despite the apparent challenges, there are signs suggesting a potential reconciliation. Prince Harry had a “warm” phone call with his father, the King, for his birthday, and Meghan also spoke with her father-in-law. However, recent events, including the release of Omid Scobie’s book “Endgame,” have complicated the situation, seemingly dashing the couple’s hopes for a reunion.

Duncan Larcombe, a royal expert, acknowledged the family’s current anger but stated, “There’s always a way back. Look at Camilla — she was the most hated person in Britain, and now she’s the Queen. If that’s possible, anything’s possible. But as things stand at the moment, I’d say it’s pretty unthinkable.”

The unfolding dynamics underscore the complexities of royal relationships, as the Sussexes navigate challenges on their path to potential reconciliation.
