Prince Harry is eager to mend the strained relationship between himself and his family, but he has one condition: he expects a sincere apology from his brother Prince William and sister-in-law Kate Middleton. According to royal expert Tom Quinn, Harry is open to the idea of a reunion with his loved ones back in the UK.
The recent turmoil surrounding the Royal Family has captured the attention of royal watchers everywhere. The real-life drama unfolding in Buckingham Palace reads like a gripping soap opera, with unexpected twists and turns. While the serious health issues faced by King Charles and Kate Middleton are no laughing matter, their struggles have heightened the intrigue surrounding the British Royal Family. The senior royals have become constant subjects of news headlines, and their everyday lives are closely scrutinized by the media.
Amidst all the chaos, the inevitability of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s situation looms large. The couple stepped away from their royal duties in 2020 and now reside in the US. Since then, their relationship with Prince William, Kate Middleton, and other family members has deteriorated significantly. The revelations made by Harry and Meghan in their interviews with Oprah Winfrey, their Netflix series, and Harry’s upcoming memoir have only added fuel to the fire.
While a reconciliation between William and Harry seemed unlikely, there are rumors that Kate’s heartbreaking diagnosis could change things. According to the Daily Mirror, Prince Harry is expected to return to the UK in May for the Invictus Games celebration. It is likely that he will have a meeting with his older brother during this visit.
However, any progress in their strained relationship hinges on Harry receiving an apology, as noted by royal expert Tom Quinn. “He wants to reconcile with his brother so that the children can have some kind of relationship, but he and Meghan still think that a groveling apology needs to come from William and Kate first,” said Quinn. Harry has expressed his sadness to friends about not having a closer relationship with his niece and nephews. He is also concerned about the prospect of his children, Lilibet and Archie, not having any relationship with George, Charlotte, and Louis. Quinn added, “He has implied that if he gets an apology from his family, then he is prepared to forgive, but that just isn’t going to happen.”
In response to the video announcing Kate Middleton’s cancer diagnosis, Harry and Meghan shared a short statement expressing their well wishes for Kate and her family. They hoped for her health and healing in private and in peace. Conflicting reports have emerged about how much Harry and Meghan knew about Kate’s health issues beforehand. Some sources claim that the Sussexes found out about Kate’s diagnosis when the video aired on TV, just like everyone else. Other reports suggest that Harry and Meghan are kept informed by the royal family on a case-by-case basis and were told about Kate’s diagnosis prior to the public announcement.
