Duke of Sussex plans potential UK visit without Meghan amid ongoing royal rift
Meghan Markle has reportedly given Prince Harry her full support as he considers making a solo trip to the United Kingdom in an effort to reconcile with the royal family.
Sources suggest the Duchess of Sussex is stepping back from the process, recognising that her presence could potentially complicate the Duke's hopes of repairing fractured ties. With Meghan currently focused on her business and media ventures in California, insiders claim she has encouraged Harry to make the move on his own.
"The Duchess of Sussex, currently focused on promoting her projects, has reportedly given Prince Harry her blessing to try his luck and pursue a reunion with the royal family," one source said.
Despite her support, Harry is said to be cautiously weighing the decision, aware that any attempt to reconnect could be met with resistance due to past tensions.
A separate insider told RadarOnline that Harry has come to terms with the likelihood that meaningful reconciliation is unlikely if Meghan is directly involved. “He’s accepted that any real progress may need to come from his side alone,” they said.
The couple’s relationship with the Firm has remained strained since their decision to step down as senior royals in 2020 and relocate to Montecito, California, with their children, Archie and Lilibet. Subsequent public revelations—including the Oprah Winfrey interview, the Netflix docuseries Harry & Meghan, and Harry’s memoir Spare—further deepened the divide.
"Harry genuinely wants to rebuild trust and hopes his family will be open to showing support," another source shared. "He understands that, from the royal family’s perspective, his dynamic with Meghan has created tension. Taking this step alone may be the best path forward for now."
While Meghan is said to be reluctant to return to the UK due to lingering emotional wounds and unresolved issues, she is reportedly backing Harry's plan, recognising his need to make amends with his relatives in his own way.
Whether the solo visit will help bridge the gap between Harry and the royal family remains to be seen, but the move marks a potential turning point in the Duke's personal journey toward reconciliation.
