Royal watchers speculate on the possibility of Prince Harry extending an olive branch to his brother, Prince William, amid their ongoing rift, but according to a royal expert, any such move would hinge on Meghan Markle’s consent, The Sun reported.
The Duke of Sussex’s departure from the Royal Family four years ago has been marked by public disagreements and shocking allegations against his brother.

Tensions escalated further after Harry and Meghan made controversial accusations against the Royal Family in their Netflix documentary series.

Richard Fitzwilliams, a royal biographer, suggests that there might be a path for the brothers to mend their relationship. However, Fitzwilliams emphasizes that any attempt at reconciliation would require Meghan’s approval.

Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Fitzwilliams highlighted the significance of recent events within the royal family, including health concerns surrounding senior members like Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge. He hinted that such circumstances could prompt unexpected developments, suggesting that Harry and Meghan are known for surprises.

“The best way of resolving the rift, if it is to be resolved, is to do it privately,” he said adding, “With Catherine and the King’s illness – that is an enormous game changer even when there are deep family rifts.”

“So, as I say, the Sussexes do spring surprises. This has happened before, and you never know what might happen in the coming weeks or months,” Fitzwilliams said.

Fitzwilliams also touched upon the potential for a reunion during the upcoming Invictus Games in May, which marks Harry’s first visit to the UK since Princess Kate’s revelation of her cancer diagnosis and treatment.

“The two very senior members of the royal family, are very, are seriously ill, and you can’t really predict what’s what’s going to happen.”

Notably, Fitzwilliams pointed out Meghan’s unpopularity in Britain and the impact her presence could have on public perception. He stressed the importance of handling family matters privately, especially in times of serious illness.

Amid speculations about a possible reconciliation, Fitzwilliams describes the feud between the Sussexes and the Cambridges as one of the most public royal rifts in history.

Regarding family decisions, Fitzwilliams reiterates his belief that Meghan holds the final say, particularly concerning the visitation of their children, Archie and Lilibet, to the UK. He emphasizes Harry’s dedication to his family and suggests that Meghan’s consent is essential for any family-related decisions.
