A private tea marks a fragile reunion
Following a period of intense public and private friction, Prince Harry had a private meeting with King Charles in London, signaling a potential first step toward healing a long-standing family rift. This reunion, a simple tea at Clarence House, was their first face-to-face meeting since Harry's brief UK visit in February 2024 following the King's cancer diagnosis. Royal commentators and insiders are analyzing this quiet meeting, wondering what it means for the Sussexes' future relationship with the firm. Harry's desire for reconciliation has been public, and this latest step towards a possible reunion has reignited hope, despite the family's fraught history.
Speculation begins: A Meghan 'invite' follows Harry's 'reunites'?
The reunion with the King, while a positive step for Harry, has immediately pivoted the conversation to a wider, more complex question: Will Meghan be included in any future royal family overtures? The absence of Meghan from this meeting, as she remained in California with their children, has led to intense speculation. The possibility of a palace invite for Meghan is being fiercely debated, with royal watchers and insiders offering various perspectives. The palace has remained silent on any potential invitation for Meghan, fueling the public’s thirst for answers. Any possible reunion must involve Meghan, of course, as the Sussex family is a unit.
The King and his complicated past with Meghan
The relationship between King Charles and Meghan has been strained, publicly detailed in interviews and books. Meghan's previous accusations and her documentary with Harry have created significant distance. Therefore, the path to a full family reunion is fraught with challenges, with many believing a palace invite for Meghan is a long way off. However, the King is known for his love of a smaller, more streamlined monarchy, and a reconciliation might be on his mind to avoid prolonged family issues. A future reunion is still plausible.
Harry's desire for healing
The fact that Harry has publicly expressed his desire for a reconciliation suggests he is open to a wider family reunion. His visit and meeting with the King, Charles, was a powerful, symbolic move. Harry's personal feelings, following this, and his obvious longing for his family, underscore the human side of this saga. Any genuine reunion would likely require an understanding and potential palace invite for Meghan as well. This subtle and private approach by the King and Harry in their meeting could be a sign of a new, more private approach to negotiations, which could eventually include Meghan.
Why a Meghan 'invite' would signal true healing
For a meaningful reunion to occur, and for the family to move forward, a Meghan invitation would be a powerful symbol of genuine healing. A simple palace invite for Meghan would demonstrate a commitment to move past the public drama. This fragile reunification process, following Harry's meeting, will be watched closely, and whether Meghan is part of it will determine its true success. The King is aware that any true closure involves including Meghan in the next phase of communication. A meaningful reunion hinges on this sensitive and crucial issue.
