Prince Harry's proposed royal gathering does not encompass involvement from Meghan.
In a bid to mend fences with the royal family, particularly with King Charles III and Prince William, Prince Harry has embarked on a strategy of goodwill gestures and formal talks. This comes after years of strained relations following his and Meghan Markle's 2020 step back from royal duties.
According to sources, Harry cares deeply for Meghan but understands that any hope of reconnecting with his family requires a solo effort. He believes a royal reunion is only possible if he attempts to reconcile with King Charles and Prince William individually.
Recent efforts to bridge the divide include a July 2025 meeting between Harry's aides and King Charles's team, initiating formal talks aimed at repairing the father-son relationship. Harry has also offered to share his official schedule of engagements with the royal family to reduce tensions and facilitate an in-person meeting.
Harry's desire for peace and reconciliation is not new. In his memoir, interviews, and their Netflix docu-series, Harry & Meghan, he has spoken openly about his fractured familial relationships. However, insiders and royal biographers note that the window for a full reset with King Charles seems to be narrowing.
The Duke of Sussex is currently living in America, where Meghan's home and world is, and has expressed feeling lost there. He has also stated that he 'didn't feel safe' bringing his children to his home country after losing a legal battle over his security detail.
Experts claim that there's no turning back for Prince William, and Harry realizes that the way he handled things before hasn't brought any progress. Despite this, Harry has expressed his desire to talk to King Charles during an interview with the BBC in May, stating that there's no point in continuing to fight anymore.
There is less publicly detailed information on Harry’s direct reconciliation approach with Prince William. However, the overall strategy of openness and reduction of public tensions likely aims to improve royal family dynamics broadly.
Rumours suggest that Prince Harry may invite the royals to the Invictus Games in 2027, which are set to take place in Birmingham, UK. This could potentially serve as an opportunity for public reconciliation between Harry and the royal family.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have two children named Archie and Lilibet. Meghan has detailed the challenges she faced while living in the UK and her mental health issues during her first pregnancy. According to a report, Meghan was 'terrified' of returning to the UK.
As Harry prepares for his return to the UK next month for a patronage event, there is hope that this could provide an opportunity for a face-to-face meeting with the king, potentially marking progress in their relationship.
