Even if Prince Harry and King Charles manage to mend their relationship, a reunion between Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle seems improbable, according to a source.
Earlier this month, hopes for peace within the royal family grew when senior aides for King Charles and Prince Harry reportedly held a discreet meeting in London. This has sparked speculation that, if father and son can move past their differences, Prince William and Harry — along with their wives — might also reconcile.
However, insiders say that while the brothers could potentially rebuild their relationship, tensions between the Princess of Wales and the Duchess of Sussex remain deeply rooted.
The Rift Between Kate and Meghan
The strained relationship between the two women was highlighted in Prince Harry’s 2023 memoir Spare, which described a heated argument involving Meghan and Kate.
According to the source, the only path to peace would require a clear, public gesture from Meghan.
“Kate’s made it clear that she would need a very genuine apology from Meghan and for there to be multiple witnesses present if they were to communicate with each other,” the insider said.
“However, the possibility of Meghan traveling to the UK to speak to Kate is a long way off. She has far too many more important things to be getting on with, and thinks it’s Kate who should be extending the olive branch.”
The source continued, “If Harry and Charles reconcile, then Kate and Meghan will need to do the same. There’s no point in trying to heal the family drama if they’re not willing to cooperate.
