Reports suggest that King Charles may be willing to pardon Prince Harry, but the Duke of Sussex will not be reinstated as a royal member of the palace. Since Harry and Meghan Markle's departure from the royal family in 2020, the couple, now based in California, have been embroiled in controversy, making several statements against senior royal figures. From Harry's upcoming memoir to certain statements deemed discriminatory by the royal family, their actions have strained relations with King Charles.
Recent rumors point to a possible reconciliation between the estranged parties. Royal author Robert Hardman shared his thoughts with Newsweek, suggesting that while the door remains open to a reunion on Charles' side, Harry is unlikely to seek to reclaim his royal status. Hardman believes Harry and Meghan's children, as well as Prince William and Princess Kate, could play a role in mediating peace between family members.
However, there is uncertainty over the likelihood of reconciliation. A leaked letter believed to have been sent by Prince Harry to King Charles indicates financial difficulties and a desire to return to Britain. In the letter, Harry expresses regret over Meghan's Hollywood aspirations and highlights her reliance on her royal lineage for her identity. Palace sources suggest Harry's request for financial help coincides with his ongoing financial difficulties, exacerbated by the closure of “Dad's Bank” until his divorce is finalized.
Despite Charles' fatherly affection for Harry, the possibility of Harry returning to Meghan's side is deemed unlikely due to past grievances. The rift between William and Harry, exacerbated by Meghan's strained relationship with Kate, adds to the complexity of the situation. As 2024 progresses, financial pressure on the couple continues, raising concerns about their financial stability in the future.
