The monarch is said to believe that mending one important relationship could help reopen doors across the Royal Family.
King Charles is reportedly hoping that a reconciliation between Meghan Markle and Catherine could help repair wider family divisions and eventually lead to a meeting with his grandchildren, Archie and Lilibet.
According to reports citing royal insiders, the King believes improved relations between the two women could create an opportunity for broader reconciliation within the family, including between Harry and Prince William.
Sources claim the monarch is encouraging efforts to ease tensions ahead of Meghan and Harry's expected visit to the UK for upcoming Invictus Games-related events.
An insider told reports that both women have become central figures in the ongoing family dynamics.
“The thinking is that the wives have become emotionally central to everything,” the source reportedly said. “Catherine has William's ear completely, and Meghan has Harry's.”
The reported strategy reflects Charles' desire to reconnect with Archie and Lilibet, who live in California with Harry and Meghan and have had limited opportunities to spend time with their grandfather in recent years.
Harry and Meghan are expected to return to Birmingham later this year in connection with the Invictus Games, the international sporting event founded by Harry for wounded, injured and sick service personnel and veterans.
Reports have also suggested that Harry hopes to see his father play a role in the next Invictus Games. According to claims previously reported by The Sun, the Duke of Sussex would like Charles to participate in the opening ceremony as a symbolic step toward healing their strained relationship.
A source quoted by the publication said: “Harry wants it to happen both for the Games and for their relationship. It's his dream to have his father by his side.”
The source added that while Invictus traditionally invites heads of state, Harry reportedly hopes for a more personal involvement from the King.
While no official plans have been announced, the reports highlight ongoing speculation about whether future Invictus events could provide an opportunity for members of the Royal Family to reconnect after years of public tensions.
