Duke and Duchess of Sussex extend olive branch to royal family as 2025 begins
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have reportedly begun 2025 with a heartfelt message of peace, vowing to let go of past grievances and focus on patience and gratitude. The gesture is said to have touched King Charles, who is continuing his battle with cancer, and signals an effort to mend relations with the royal family.
According to Closer magazine, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have resolved to stay patient with the palace and its dynamics, steering clear of repeating bitter history. The Montecito-based couple is said to be prioritising a more optimistic and present mindset in the new year.
“The vow is to stay patient when it comes to the palace and all the things that go on that can really get them worked up,” a source shared.
This sentiment aligns with the royal family’s renewed sense of optimism for 2025, particularly after the challenges posed by King Charles’s and Princess Catherine’s health struggles in the previous year.
During her Christmas Carol Service, Princess Catherine underscored the importance of love, empathy, and kindness—a message many viewed as a subtle olive branch to the Sussexes.
An insider also revealed that Harry and Meghan are focusing on being present and nurturing their relationship amid their separate professional ventures. “They’re really going to carve out the time they need; otherwise, their schedules get so jammed, and now with their separate focuses, it’s very easy to become like ships passing in the night,” the source explained.
The Sussexes’ message of peace and reconciliation offers a glimmer of hope for healing within the royal family as they navigate the challenges of the new year together.
