Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s departure from royal life in January 2020 marked the beginning of a strained relationship with the royal family. The couple now leads a vastly different life in California, focused on raising their two children.
Their decision to speak out, notably through their Oprah interview and subsequent projects, intensified the feud between the Sussexes and the royal family. Prince William and Kate Middleton refrained from engaging publicly, standing against the couple’s accusations.
Royal expert Ingrid Seward suggests that Meghan Markle has two demands, including a “groveling apology,” before considering reconciliation. Prince William requires a sincere apology from Harry for the years of disrespect aimed at him and Princess Diana.
Despite occasional family gatherings, tensions persist. Meghan’s reluctance and grievances continue to hinder progress. The feud’s complexity, coupled with demands for apologies from both sides, suggests that reconciliation between the two couples remains uncertain.
As royal expert Tom Quinn doubts the possibility of reconciliation, it’s clear that healing the rift will be a challenging and difficult process. “Groveling apology” and sincere apologies are needed for reconciliation to happen.
