Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's private outreach to inquire about the health of Kate Middleton and King Charles may not signify a significant improvement in their strained relations with the royal family, according to royal expert Katie Nicholl.
While the Duke and Duchess of Sussex extended their concerns for the health of the senior royals, Nicholl suggests that this gesture might be more about common courtesy than a genuine shift in dynamics between the parties involved.
Nicholl emphasized that the outreach doesn't necessarily indicate a softening of relations, especially between Harry and Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge. She sees it more as a human response to a family member's health issues.
Regarding the potential for dialogue between Harry and his father, Nicholl expressed hope that King Charles' health situation might open avenues for communication. Despite any past conflicts, Harry would naturally be concerned for his father's well-being, which could facilitate further interaction.
As the King recuperates from his recent surgery, there's a possibility that this moment could encourage more discussions between the Sussexes and the royal family, including Catherine. However, Nicholl remains cautious about expecting significant changes in the relationship dynamics at this stage.
