Prince Harry and Meghan Markle appear serious about repairing their relationship with the royal family, according to royal expert Richard Palmer.
Writing on social media, Palmer said some people may doubt the couple’s intentions. However, he believes they want to settle their differences with the family.
He claimed Harry and Meghan are willing to apologise if necessary. He also said they would avoid public charity visits while King Charles and Prince William are on trips abroad.
Palmer said the palace faces a difficult situation. Despite harsh comments from some royal fans online, palace staff understand that many people want the family to make peace.
But trust remains a concern. According to Palmer, some palace insiders believe it will take much more time to rebuild trust with Harry and Meghan.
Cynics may disagree but the Duke and Duchess of Sussex do seem serious about reconciling with the Royal Family. They are prepared to apologise if necessary and will not undertake public charity visits while the King and William are abroad on trips. https://t.co/xpGCSootdT

Royal expert Phil Dampier questioned the claim that the couple would apologise. He asked who had said this and added that he would believe it when he saw it.
In response, Palmer explained that a source close to Harry and Meghan had said they would apologise if needed. The source also described the situation as a private family matter.
Palmer said he was trying to report both sides of the story, including the royal family’s concerns about trust.
