- King Charles III urges Prince Harry to establish a UK residence to mend ties with Prince William.
- Meghan Markle may not join Harry in the UK due to her past negative experiences with the Royal Family.
- Prince Harry remains undecided about applying for American citizenship.
King Charles III is encouraging Prince Harry to establish a residence in the UK as a means to repair his fractured relationship with his brother, Prince William. The King is reportedly frustrated with the limited interaction he has had with his grandchildren, Archie and Lilibet, who live in the United States.
Meghan Markle, however, is unlikely to join Harry in this potential move. She has expressed dissatisfaction with her experiences in the UK and seems content with her life in California. Royal commentator Omid Scobie notes that Meghan is determined to avoid re-engaging with the royal family’s dramas, which is why she has been absent from recent significant royal events.
King Charles’ Plan to Reunite Princes Harry and William
Harry’s potential return to the UK could pave the way for significant familial healing, although Meghan Markle is expected to remain in the US. Meghan’s past encounters with the Royal Family have been fraught with tension, leading her to favor a more permanent stay in California. Her absence could simplify the dynamics, allowing Harry and the children to reconnect with the royal side of the family without added complications.
Despite the push from King Charles, Prince Harry has expressed ambivalence about permanently moving back to the UK or applying for American citizenship. In interviews, he has indicated that while he has considered it, it is not a priority at this time. His focus remains on his current commitments and life in the US.
Meghan Markle’s reluctance to return to the UK is underpinned by her desire to avoid the perceived “soap opera” of royal life. According to Omid Scobie, Meghan never felt truly at home in the UK, which has influenced her decision to stay in California. This separation from royal duties allows her to focus on her personal endeavors and family life away from the public eye.
King Charles III’s efforts to bring Prince Harry back to the UK represent a significant attempt to heal the rift between Harry and William. While Meghan Markle’s involvement remains uncertain, this move could mark a turning point in the family dynamics.
“King Charles has been putting pressure on Harry to do just this as he is angry that his only relationship with his grandchildren so far is via video calls, which Charles hates.”
