A Royal expert informed Fox News Digital Magazine that the anticipated private meeting on September 17th, coinciding with the conclusion of Prince Harry's Invictus Games trip to Dusseldorf, won't be happening. The Daily Beast, a U.S. website, reports that both Charles and William are against such a meeting. King Charles himself confirmed that there are no peace talks in progress.
The spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and Buckingham Palace did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment. Several Royal experts told Fox News Digital that they find the idea of a peace summit between the Monarch and the spare highly doubtful.
According to Royal expert Duncan Lacombe, it would take nothing short of a miracle for Harry and Charles to reconcile. The tensions between Prince William and Prince Harry are still quite strong, making it unlikely for King Charles to attempt reconciliation without William's involvement.
Even if a summit were to happen, Meghan Markle would likely not be part of the conversation. The Royal Family would insist on the strictest confidentiality, with the details of the conversation remaining private.
According to Lacombe, there's a lack of trust in Meghan Markle, making the Royals hesitant to include her. In 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped back as senior Royals, citing intense media intrusion and racism. They relocated to Montecito, California, where they conducted a high-profile interview with Oprah Winfrey, launched a Netflix docu-series, and Harry penned a bestselling memoir.
Christopher Anderson, author of "The King," suggests that, given the couple's history of airing grievances, the Monarch is proceeding with caution. King Charles is now focusing on the monarchy's future, harnessing the popularity of trusted Royals like Princess Anne, Prince Edward, Prince William, and Kate Middleton to bolster the monarchy's image.
