Prince Harry is reportedly planning a solo trip back to the UK in an effort to mend his fractured relationship with the Royal Family. Sources close to the Duke reveal that he has come to the realization that any chance for reconciliation with his family must begin without his wife, Meghan Markle, being involved.
The couple’s decision to step down from their royal duties in 2020 and subsequent move to California has led to a strained relationship with the monarchy. Various high-profile projects, such as their interview with Oprah Winfrey, their Netflix series, and Harry’s upcoming memoir, have only served to widen the rift between them and the Royal Family.
Despite briefly seeing his father, King Charles, earlier this year, Harry has had limited contact with his family since then. A recent snub by the Royal Family during an Armed Forces Day tribute further highlighted the ongoing tensions between Harry and his relatives.
Realizing that his previous approach has not yielded any progress, Harry is now open to engaging in one-on-one conversations, mediation, or video calls with members of the Royal Family. He understands the need to establish a line of communication and is willing to make the effort to mend fences.
While Harry remains loyal to Meghan, he is beginning to understand the complexities of their situation. He is prepared to make the trip back to the UK alone, in the hopes of reconnecting with his family and seeking their support for the 2027 Invictus Games in Birmingham.
On the other hand, Meghan is reportedly content to stay in the US, focusing on her lifestyle brand and Netflix projects. Although there are unresolved issues between her and the Royal Family, she supports Harry’s decision to handle the reconciliation process on his own.
As Harry prepares to return to the UK without Meghan by his side, he is hopeful that this gesture will pave the way for a renewed relationship with his family. The Duke’s willingness to take this step signifies a significant shift in his approach towards rebuilding the ties that have been strained in recent years.
