Even as Charles achieved full remission, he began moving to hand over to King William V earlier than planned. Privately, the family was informed of the severity of Charles' condition, which explains Prince Harry's quick trip from California to visit him just three days after the news broke. Harry may find it easier to negotiate with King Charles than with King William. He is reportedly open to reconciliation with his brother and sister-in-law, but he wants an apology first.

The handover will not have much impact on Meghan Markle, who seems content to disagree with the royal family and has no plans to visit the UK. She is reportedly not in agreement with paying her respects to Catherine, Princess of Wales. Any potential reconciliation, however, depends on Catherine’s willingness to step in. Charles loves Harry and, upset by the family rift, wants to patch things up for personal and legacy reasons.

Sources close to Harry say he is fed up with playing a supporting role in the family’s ongoing drama and wants to restore his reputation. On Harry’s 40th birthday, it was reported that Catherine acted as an intermediary between him and Prince William. She contacted Harry on his special day and made sure he received a public birthday greeting on the official royal website, hinting at an improvement in the relationship between Harry and Charles.

However, this is just a cautious first step in a delicate situation. Many believe the relationship between the brothers may be beyond repair. Recent rumours have suggested that Meghan has been unfairly blamed for the tensions. Six months ago, she released a promotional video for her new lifestyle brand, which was criticized for being bombastic and lacking in substance. This was in stark contrast to Catherine’s personal and heartfelt video, leaving Meghan frustrated with the public perception.

Furthermore, Meghan and Harry were reportedly unaware of Catherine’s health issues until she went public in March. Their previous criticism of the palace has left them in a bad light in the public eye. According to sources, Meghan is relieved that Catherine has recovered but feels complicated emotions about their relationship. Both she and Harry regret being so outspoken about their grievances. Meghan is trying to navigate her feelings of frustration and resentment while knowing that she cannot blame Catherine for her happiness. Instead, she is jealous of the way Catherine connects with people easily, making it difficult for her to accept the differences in their life paths.
