Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Are “Desperate” to Heal Rift with Royal Family

A source suggested the U.S. election had played a part.

It’s been four years since Meghan Markle and Prince Harry announced their intention to step down as senior royals. Since then, the couple has moved to Montecito in California, where they are raising their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. However, royal fans continue to wonder whether Meghan and Harry will ever be able to mend the rift their decision caused with the royal family.

In a new article, the Daily Mail‘s royal expert Richard Eden has suggested the Duke and Duchess of Sussex may be ready fix some of their fractured familial relationships. “It seems quite clear that they are desperate to start healing the rift,” a former employee reportedly told the publication. Eden further alleged that Meghan and Harry may be particularly motivated to mend fences with the royal family in 2024, due to the upcoming U.S. election.

During a recent interview with GB News, Eric Trump waded into the royal family’s relationship with Meghan and Harry. “You can happily have those two [Meghan and Harry], we might not want them anymore, it feels like they’re on an island of their own,” Trump said of the Sussexes. He continued, “You can always have bad actors in everything. You can have spoiled apples in every orchard.” And Eric isn’t the first member of the Trump family to insinuate that Meghan and Harry aren’t necessarily welcome in the United States.

Donald Trump previously suggested in an interview, as reported by GB News, that Prince Harry’s U.S. Visa status could be impacted by his admission to drug-taking in memoir Spare. As a result, Eden’s implication is that Harry and Meghan may need the royal family as allies if the prince’s visa is investigated on account of his drug revelations.

Of course, there is no evidence that the prince’s residence in the United States is in question. As for whether or not Meghan and Harry really wish to make amends with their royal relatives, that remains to be seen.
