Amidst the public and private strains that have marred the relationships within the British Royal Family, a royal expert, Tom Quinn, has brought to light efforts by Prince William and Princess Catherine to bridge the divide.

According to Quinn, the Prince and Princess of Wales are extending an olive branch to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, with a heartfelt appeal for unity through their offspring and “to make up” within the family.
This move, as Quinn articulates, is not just about mending fences; it’s a testament to William and Kate’s deep-seated belief in family and legacy. However, the dynamics within the Royal Family are complex, and Markle’s apparent reluctance to heed this call adds layers to an already intricate narrative.
Despite these efforts, the suggestion seems to have hit a standstill, with Markle firmly against the idea of bringing their children across the Atlantic.
Amid these ongoing efforts, Prince Harry’s expected return to the UK adds another layer to the narrative. Harry is slated to attend the Invictus Games 10th Anniversary Service at St. Paul’s Cathedral on May 8, as reported by Express.co.uk.
While Prince Harry and Prince William are currently estranged, they have still expressed love for one another’s children on many different occasions.
The Prince and Princess of Wales have also publicly acknowledged their niece and nephew’s birthdays. In 2022, when Lilibet turned one, Princess Caterine and Prince William shared a tweet wishing her a happy birthday.
As previously reported on March 29, 2024, Prince Harry made his way back to the UK to see his father after the King’s cancer diagnosis:
