Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have made a surprising gesture by reaching out to Kate Middleton, who is currently battling cancer, in an effort to mend their strained relationship with the senior royals.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, whose ties with the Prince and Princess of Wales have deteriorated over recent years, have taken a significant step towards reconciliation by showing support for Kate during this difficult time.
According to sources close to the couple, Meghan is keen to portray herself as taking the higher ground and ending the ongoing feud within the royal family. "Meghan is eager to appear as a peacemaker and put an end to the animosity," a source revealed. "Despite their differences, she empathizes with Kate's situation and wants to move forward towards healing for everyone involved."
The source also emphasized Meghan's sincere intentions, stating, "She's ready to let go of any past anger and bitterness."
Since stepping down as senior working royals and relocating to the US in 2020, Harry and Meghan have been embroiled in public disputes with other members of the royal family, including Kate and William. Their relationship further soured after a televised interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021 and the publication of Harry's autobiography in 2023.
However, recent health challenges faced by King Charles and Kate Middleton seem to have softened tensions within the royal family. Kate announced her cancer diagnosis in March 2024, following Buckingham Palace's earlier confirmation of King Charles's health issues.
While Harry promptly returned to the UK to be with his father after the announcement, he has not yet visited Kate since her diagnosis.
Reports indicate that Harry and Meghan are now prepared to reconcile with the royal family. However, the extent to which William and Kate will be willing to trust them again remains uncertain, casting doubt on a full reconciliation between the parties.
The developments suggest a potential path towards healing within the royal family, driven by shared concern over health crises, although significant challenges in rebuilding trust remain ahead.
