Prince Harry’s expected trip to the UK has become a major talking point. Reports say Meghan Markle may join him, and royal experts believe that could make Harry’s possible reunion with King Charles even more important. If Meghan is there too, the meeting could send a bigger message about the future of the Sussex family and the royal family.
Why Meghan Could Play An Important Role
Prince Harry is expected to return to the United Kingdom this summer. Reports also suggest Meghan Markle could travel with him. The visit may give Harry a chance to meet King Charles as they continue trying to improve their relationship.
Harry and Meghan stepped down as working royals in 2020 and later moved to the United States. Since then, their relationship with the royal family has been difficult. Things became even more tense after Harry released his memoir, Spare, which shared details about family conflicts.
Royal commentator Amanda Matta believes Meghan’s presence would mean more than just showing up for the meeting. Speaking to Page Six, she said, “If Meghan accompanies Harry to the UK or to a meeting with his family, it would signal to the public that any effort at rebuilding relationships extends to the Sussex family as a whole.”
What A Royal Expert Says About Meghan And Charles
Matta said she has not heard whether Meghan will actually attend a meeting between Harry and King Charles. Still, she believes Meghan has always had a different relationship with the King than Harry has.
“Historically, there have been indications that Charles made efforts to welcome her into the family, but she has taken a step back in recent years,” Matta stated. “I see that as an acknowledgment that the Sussexes’ ongoing tensions with the royals actually stem from Harry and his own family.”
Matta also said the public interest in the royal family feud is not as strong as it once was. She believes the “frenzy” around the Sussexes and the royal family has “considerably” gone down since Harry and Meghan appeared with Prince William and Kate Middleton after Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral in 2022.
Reports say Harry and Meghan may bring their children, Archie and Lilibet, to the UK. If they do, it will be the family’s first visit together in four years. Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for more Royal news and updates.
