Meghan Markle has reportedly made it clear to Prince Harry that she has a ‘deal-breaker’ in any possible peace talks with the royal family and that she doesn’t want to be ‘side-lined’
Meghan Markle has reportedly laid down the law with Prince Harry regarding any potential reconciliation with the Royal Family, making it clear she doesn’t want to be left out of the picture.
A source revealed that although Meghan supports Harry’s wish to mend fences, she insists on being part of the process – and does not want to be “side-lined”.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have had a strained relationship with The Firm since their departure as senior royals and relocation to the US in 2020, with the bond between Harry and his brother Prince William particularly frayed. Despite recent health concerns within the Royal family sparking talk of burying the hatchet, the insider claims Meghan won’t accept being marginalised.
“Meghan is all for Harry making peace with his family, but she’s not going to let them sideline her in the process,” the source stated. They further commented, “She’s been very clear that she’s not about to let William, or anyone else, drive a wedge between her and Harry.”
In a conversation with Heat World Magazine, the source indicated that Meghan views any efforts to reunite only with Harry as an unacceptable “nogo”, emphasising:”She feels strongly that she and Harry are a team, and if his family wants to welcome him back but not her, that will be a dealbreaker.”
According to the insider, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex remain a tight-knit unit, with the source describing them as “a package deal”. However, there are concerns that Meghan may hinder the reconciliation process.
The source revealed, “There is a big worry that Meghan could turn out to be a real roadblock in the peace talks.”
They added that Kate Middleton is cautiously optimistic, having noticed positive changes in Harry, but is concerned that Meghan might obstruct progress. The source noted, “Kate is still very optimistic, she’s seen a lot of changes in Harry, and she does believe he’s ready to compromise and let some of the past go, but she’s worried Meghan may stand in the way.”
Ultimately, the source observed, “At the end of the day, Meghan and Kate both have very different ideas on what it will take for them to reconcile.”
