Prince William and Kate Middleton have extended an invitation to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to bring their children for a visit to the UK, in an attempt to mend their strained relationship, according to royal expert Tom Quinn. The Prince and Princess of Wales have had a long-standing rift with the Sussexes, but it seems that William and Kate are keen on burying the hatchet once and for all.
Princess Kate reportedly supported the idea of seeing Archie and Lilibet in England, but Meghan declined the offer. It is clear that there is still tension between the two couples, as the suggestion of a reconciliation is not leading anywhere at the moment.
The last time Archie and Lilibet visited the UK was during Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee in June 2022. Meghan, on the other hand, returned to England for the late Queen’s funeral service in September of that year. However, they did not bring their children with them due to safety concerns, as the Sussexes were no longer entitled to taxpayer-funded UK security protection.
Now, Harry and Meghan will have to pay for their own security when visiting the UK. Despite this, it seems that they are not hesitant to offer their help to the royal family during a time of distress. A reconciliation between the couples is deemed “100% possible” by a royal expert.
Harry and Meghan are reportedly hoping for a temporary return to the UK’s royal fold and have reached out to William and Kate to make it happen. Grant Harrold, King Charles’ former butler, believes that Harry would have personally reached out to his brother and sister-in-law, although it remains uncertain whether they accept his help.
It is revealed that Charles has been considering having Harry back on a temporary basis, despite being kept at arm’s length from ongoing succession talks. Following Kate Middleton’s cancer announcement, Harry and Meghan expressed their well wishes and hoped for privacy for the Middleton family during her treatment.
The Sussexes, who left royal life in 2020 and moved to Montecito, California, have privately contacted William and Kate after Middleton’s announcement. It is speculated that the duo is planning a visit to the UK in the summer.
In conclusion, tensions persist between Prince William and Kate Middleton and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. However, there are efforts being made to mend their relationship, with William and Kate inviting Harry and Meghan to bring their children for a visit to the UK. While a reconciliation is deemed possible by experts, it remains to be seen whether it will come to fruition.
