Princess Lilibet, who has yet to meet her grandfather, King Charles, could play a pivotal role in thawing tensions between the Sussexes and the royal family.
The innocence of the youngest royal family member may serve as a powerful force, bridging the gap between the estranged parties.
Speculations are rife that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex might spend Christmas in the UK, driven by the 75-year-old monarch's expressed desire to see his granddaughter. King Charles, reportedly in great pain over the limited interactions with his grandchildren, seems to be dropping hints for a potential Christmas return.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex last spent Christmas with the royal family in 2018 at the Sandringham Estate. Since then, the couple has celebrated the festive season away from the UK.
Expressing his hopes for "peace and positivity" within the family, King Charles is eager to mend relationships. A source revealed to Express UK that the monarch is deeply pained by the fact that he has yet to meet Princess Lilibet. The desire to spend time with both Archie and Harry, whether one-on-one or with Meghan present, is significant for King Charles.
The open door for a Christmas return signals a potential opportunity for healing and unity within the royal family, emphasizing the monarch's earnest wish for familial harmony.
