One move Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will have to make for chance at reconciling with William and Kate 'revealed'
"The least they deserve"
A royal expert has insisted Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will have to do all the heavy lifting to heal the alleged rift with Prince William and Princess Kate.
In recent days, reports claimed that aides for the Sussexes and King Charles met in a private members’ club in London last week. They allegedly discussed bringing the reportedly estranged royal relatives back together. However, the reports also claimed that Buckingham Palace refused to comment on whether Prince William was aware of the alleged rendezvous.
Nonetheless, observers indicated the “peace summit” was unlikely to have gone ahead without his approval. But one pundit reckons any hope of a reunion could stall unless Harry and Meghan agree to one particular requirement.
Will Prince Harry and Meghan make up with Prince William and Princess Kate?
Alongside publishing photos said to show the Sussexes’ chief of communications and King Charles‘ communications secretary meeting near Clarence House last Wednesday, the Mail on Sunday quoted an unnamed source as suggesting the meet-up was only a “first step towards reconciliation”. The insider also considered it “a step in the right direction”, too.
However, amid claims the Sussexes feel “frustrated” by the meeting generating headlines, reports concerning the Waleses’ alleged reaction have emerged.
MailOnline columnist Richard Eden makes out that a source has shared: “It’s no coincidence that Prince William and Catherine did not have a representative at [the meeting].”
The fact that it ended up in the newspapers tells you all you need to know.
He goes on: “They were not asked to send anyone and will be treating the talks with extreme caution. The fact that it ended up in the newspapers tells you all you need to know.”
Mr Eden also posits that a “lack of trust” is central to possible fractures in the relationship between the royal brothers.
He suggests that mentioning the Waleses in Prince Harry’s memoir, Spare, and TV interviews is the reason for such damage.
“For his brother and sister-in-law to betray that trust in the most public way is something that he will never forget, even if he does eventually forgive them,” Mr Eden claims.
‘There will be no olive branch’
He also goes on to suggest “repentance” is necessary, due to allegations that Kate Middleton clashed with the Duchess of Sussex.
However, Mr Eden maintains that an acknowledgement of fault will be needed. Until this, no “olive branches” will be offered.

He insists: “There will be no ‘olive branches’ offered, or meetings at private members’ clubs between aides, until William and Catherine receive apologies from the Sussexes. Frankly, that’s the least they deserve.”
