Sources close to the couple have disclosed that Meghan is open to facilitating a part-time meeting with the royal family to alleviate the mounting pressure she and Harry have been facing since stepping back from their royal duties. Their transition to a permanent role in California has proven challenging, and their charity, "Aru," has recently reported significant financial losses.
Renowned royal expert Duncan Lam has suggested that Queen Camilla could potentially take a step back from public duties, while Meghan and Harry could contemplate a return to the royal fold. In an interview with a new magazine, he remarked, "I believe the Sussexes recognize that the Prince and Princess of Wales are still harboring feelings of upset. However, there is always a pathway for reconciliation. Look at Camilla—once considered the most disliked person in England, she now holds the title of Queen. If such a transformation is possible, then almost anything is."
Nonetheless, considering the current circumstances, the prospect of reconciliation appears virtually impossible. Queen Camilla has long been associated with the collapse of King Charles' marriage to Diana, Princess of Wales. Charles had enlisted the help of numerous PR experts to improve Camilla's public image, gradually introducing her as his new partner. Television presenter Carol Malone, who covered the royal family extensively starting in the 1990s, commented on this transformation, saying, "Camilla was the most reviled woman in Britain back then. She was seen as a home-wrecker, and many held her responsible for Diana's tragic fate. However, the palace's PR efforts gradually faded, and they stopped thrusting the relationship into the spotlight."
Over the years, public perception shifted, and Camilla's image improved. "People eventually moved on from the controversy, but it was a major issue at the time," added Malone. "Charles had to endure a great deal of criticism, but the palace's PR strategy gradually worked its magic, allowing Camilla to blend into the royal scene more seamlessly."
