It seems that Meghan Markle has never been a much loved member of the British Royal Family, and her and Harry’s decision to step down from their royal duties led to increased scrutiny and criticism from various quarters.
Recently, she was accused of trying to steal the spotlight when she presented a product from her newly founded company at the same time Kate Middleton made her first public appearance at Trooping the Colour.
While Harry is said to be “petrified” of losing Meghan and misses his UK friends, Meghan doesn’t seem to be interested in mending the relationship with his family.
Since Megxit, the Sussexes haven’t visited the UK much.
They did attend the late Queen Elizabeth’s funeral, and Harry visited his father amid his battle with cancer on a few occasions, but that’s about it.
The two were said to have reached out to Kate Middleton after her planned abdominal surgery and then again after she disclosed her cancer diagnosis with the public, but they haven’t met in person. Reportedly, both Harry and Meghan heard of Kate’s condition through the news and not directly from their family members.
However, despite the fact that bridges have been burnt, some royal experts believe that the Prince and Princess of Wales are willing to bury the hatchet with the Sussexes.
According to royal author Tom Quinn, Kate and William were open to the idea of inviting Harry and Meghan, as well as their children, to visit England but Meghan wasn’t too keen on the idea and passed on the offer.
“There is no way Meghan would bring the children to the UK,” Quinn told the Mirror in early April. One of the reasons is that she’s concerned for their safety.
“William and Kate have suggested that Meghan and Harry bring the children and that the two couples and their families try to make up, but the suggestion is not leading anywhere so far,” Quinn wrote at the time.
“It’s now got to the point where Meghan doesn’t want to come to the UK with the children. She just doesn’t feel safe. The situation is now about whether the family should attend with increased security or Harry should go it alone,” a source told the Mirror.
Harry reportedly begged his wife to reconsider, saying, “I don’t want to do this alone” when he visited Britain to attend a special Invictus Games service at St Paul’s Cathedral.
“Harry doesn’t want to keep making solo trips to the UK,” the source continued. “He would prefer it if the entire family made regular visits to see his family and build bridges, but there is so much going on behind the scenes that it just isn’t possible at the moment.”
Another reason why Meghan avoids any returns to the UK is that she doesn’t want to “be thrown back into an anxiety-fueled visit to England where she feels like she’s not wanted.”
Certain royal experts suggest that Meghan has made quite the u-turn and is said to be “ready to sit down” with the royal family and make things right. However, the reason may not be the one many expect it to be. On the contrary, as per a royal commentator, she might be willing to bury the hatchet for the sake of “selling her jam.”
Royal expert Angela Levin claimed the Duchess is “still genuinely hurt” by how the “royal family treated her.”
“She’s still genuinely hurt by how she was treated by the Royal Family – this is four years on,” Levin told GB News. “And she wants to now at last sit down and talk through things” but she does expect an apology for how she and Harry were treated in the past.
“We know that means she wants the Royal Family, King Charles and everyone else to make an apology, but they don’t,” Levin continued. “The person who should apologise is really her, but they don’t want that.”
“She’s also trying to get Beatrice and Eugenie, who’s on top of her list, to get people to help her sell her jams. And she’s really hoping that King Charles might take one, too,” the royal expert concluded.
“It comes from quite a good source, and that would be her excuse to go there, she wanted to make sure everything was nice, but it’s also a way of selling her products.”
