The royal expert suggests that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may find support in Sarah Ferguson, who recently returned from Christmas celebrations. Notably, this marks the first time in 32 years that Fergy's friends and family have been able to attend the Christmas festivities at Sandringham. Despite being barred from royal engagements and private events for years due to her strained relationship with the late Prince Philip, including the 1992 finger-sucking scandal and subsequent divorce from Prince Andrew, Sarah's return is seen as a positive sign.
Recent actions by Prince Charles are seen as promising, indicating a potential reconciliation between Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and the royal family. Royal expert Jenny Bond emphasizes the significance of Fergie's return, stating that it could be a pivotal moment. She suggests that if Sarah is welcomed back after 30 years, there is hope for reconciliation between father and son. Bond notes that Princess Eugenie's close relationship with Harry may play a role, and Sarah Ferguson could potentially act as a mentor to help Harry reconcile with his father.
Since stepping down from royal duties and relocating to the United States in 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have distanced themselves from the royal family. They've made various demands, leading some experts to predict a deepening feud. However, Bond points out that Charles's recent actions demonstrate kindness and forgiveness, offering hope for reconciliation. She explains that seeing the king practice what he preaches is encouraging and suggests that all is not lost for Harry and Meghan.
Despite the challenges, the possibility of a phone call between Charles and his nephews in California during the Christmas holidays is raised. The Duchess of York was even spotted with her ex-husband, Prince Andrew, and the rest of the royal family during the traditional Royal Family Walk on Christmas Day.
