The King is said to be ‘resolute’ about a move aimed at healing the family rift
King Charles is reportedly weighing a deeply personal step to repair his strained relationship with Harry and Meghan Markle.
Royal commentator Rob Shuter claims the King is considering opening the doors of Balmoral Castle to the couple as a sign of reconciliation. The idea surfaced after Harry reunited with his family in California following his recent UK visit.
According to Shuter, Balmoral is not just another royal residence. It is Charles’s private home and one of the most meaningful places in the royal family’s history. Bought by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in 1852, the vast Scottish estate has long been seen as a retreat for quiet family time, away from public duties.
“This is not Buckingham Palace. Balmoral is different,” Shuter wrote. “It is Charles’s home. A place of tradition, privacy, and emotional connection. And now, sources say, he may be willing to share it.”
A palace insider told him that offering Harry and Meghan time at Balmoral would be a major gesture. “This is Charles’s most personal residence. Inviting them there signals trust, forgiveness, and a genuine desire to heal,” the source said.
The proposal would not involve any transfer of ownership or permanent arrangement. Instead, Harry and Meghan would be invited to stay during selected family gatherings. Shuter describes the plan as a carefully measured olive branch, designed to show that the door to reconciliation remains open.
For Charles, the move would be more than symbolic. It would place family ahead of formality, using his most private space to send a message that he is ready to try again.
