King Charles Left With Only One Option: Bring Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Back Home: Report

King Charles Left With Only One Option: Bring Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Back Home: Report

As Prince Harry’s 40th birthday approaches, the rift between him and the royal family appears wider than ever. Despite the growing rift and plans to avoid each other, insiders reveal that there is still a path to reconciliation. King Charles is reportedly the only person who can bring Harry and Meghan Markle back home and mend their strained relationship. Insiders indicate that addressing security concerns is the only condition under which the duke may contemplate the reunion.

The only path to reconciliation between Harry and the royals

“King Charles may give Harry the security clearance he so desperately wants,” a source told the New York Post. The Duke has not seen his ailing father since February, when he made a brief trip to London, returning the same day after learning of the King’s cancer diagnosis. Since then, Harry has been preoccupied with ongoing legal battles over security lapses and tabloid intrusions. “As monarch, he is the ultimate decision-maker. This would be a way for father and son to reconcile,” the royal source added.

The estranged royal couple have been completely cut off from the royal family since their move to California. They have lost their royal titles, the royal residence gifted to them by Queen Elizabeth, and their taxpayer-funded security. As a result, Harry has insisted on not returning to London with his family unless he is given official police protection.

Clearing up speculation about Meghan and their children, Archie and Lilibet, travelling to London, the Invictus Games founder spoke about his views again in ITV’s Tabloids on Trial documentary. “It’s still dangerous, and all it takes is a lone actor, a person who reads these things to act on what they’ve read.” He continued, “And whether it’s a knife or acid, whatever it is, these are things that are of genuine concern to me. It’s one of the reasons why I won’t bring my wife back to this country.”

Royal family ‘not willing to fight’ Harry’s legal case against the press

In their explosive Netflix documentary, the Sussexes detailed the relentless media scrutiny they faced in the UK, claiming it made their lives unbearable. They accused the royal family of failing to protect Meghan from negative press, a key factor in the growing rift between them. While Harry has remained in contact with his father, King Charles, he has been estranged from his brother, Prince William, for more than two years.

A royal source, as per the NY Post, previously said: “Harry’s participation in this documentary is not because he wants to blame his family or talk more about his ‘breakup.'” They continued: “It’s more about his ongoing fight against the British tabloids. Harry’s mission to (take) legal action with the press is clearly unique… he acknowledges that his choices have caused tension.”

Prince Harry has just signed another deal with Netflix. Last December, he won a court case against Mirror Group Newspapers, with a judge saying his phone had been illegally probed by the tabloid, albeit to a limited extent. Harry is still fighting legal battles with the royal publishers of The Mail and The Sun, both of which have denied any wrongdoing in the collection of private information.
