King Charles may extend an olive branch to his youngest son, Prince Harry, and his daughter-in-law, Meghan Markle, and invite them to Balmoral Castle in Scotland this summer for one reason in particular.
The reigning monarch often retires to the Scottish countryside every year and is joined by members of the family from the Prince and Princess of Wales, to his own siblings.
King Charles was recently diagnosed with cancer earlier in the year after visiting hospital to undergo a prostate operation at a private hospital, The London Clinic.
Upon learning of the diagnosis, and after it was announced publicly, Prince Harry immediately flew to the UK to Clarence House to visit his father but was in London for a total of 25-hours.
It is claimed King Charles may want to see his grandchildren as he battles with his illness – which is why an invite may well be extended. A source told Page Six: “I can see Charles desperately wanting to see the children and extending this olive branch to Meghan and Harry. He may decide that life is just too short.”
In the tell-all memoir, Spare, Prince Harry fondly looked back at memories in Scotland, and recalled his grandmother’s culinary specialty was salad dressing, while his grandfather, Prince Phillip would love barbecuing.
Meghan joined her husband at the late queen’s funeral in September 2022 but has not stepped foot in Britain since then, including for Charles’ coronation.
Royal author, Omid Scobie, who penned Endgame in November 2023, stated in his book Meghan “never felt at home” in the UK and wrote she “never wants to set foot again in England”.
