Amidst the ongoing turbulence within the royal family, Prince Harry is reportedly contemplating a quiet return to the UK, hoping to mend fences with his sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, according to sources cited by OK! Magazine.
Encouraged by the recent controversies surrounding the royal family, including the photo manipulation incident after Mother's Day, Harry sees an opportunity to extend an olive branch and offer support to the Princess of Wales. The Duke of Sussex believes that now might be the "perfect time" for his wife, Meghan Markle, to reach out to Kate Middleton and help alleviate tensions.
"Harry is eager for Meghan to extend her support to Kate," an insider revealed. "He understands that repairing Meghan's strained relationship with Kate is crucial if they ever hope to return to the UK."
Despite Harry's recent visit with his ailing father, King Charles, following a personal phone call, lingering tensions between the father and son persist. Harry has reportedly offered to step in and assist with some of the royal duties previously carried out by William and Kate, who are currently taking a break from public engagements.
Royal author Tom Quinn suggests that Harry feels sidelined by the early succession planning initiated by King Charles, five years ahead of schedule. Quinn posits that Kate Middleton would likely be opposed to the idea of Harry serving as regent, with Meghan Markle by his side. Consequently, Harry views this outreach to Kate as a strategic move to potentially pave the way for his and Meghan's eventual return to the UK.
In this complex web of royal relationships and shifting dynamics, Harry's reported initiative to mend fences with Kate Middleton could be a significant step toward reconciliation and normalization within the royal family.
