EXCLUSIVE: A source believes that even if Prince Harry and Meghan Markle chose to patch things up with the royals now, their efforts might not be well-received.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may need to pick their moment when it comes to rebuilding a relationship with the Royal Family, as 2024 has already been a tumultuous year for them.

With King Charles and Princess Kate both facing cancer diagnoses and rounds of treatment, Queen Camilla and Prince William have been under increased strain.

A source exclusively told Express.co.uk that while Harry is more willing to leave things in the past, Meghan would still like to talk things through with the Firm.

They said: “Harry is more willing to move on, let’s just say that. It’s not a case of Meghan being difficult, she genuinely feels hurt and would like some kind of sit down to hash things through – but that’s not something the other side is willing to consider at this time.”

It is understood that the Sussexes reached out to Kate privately upon learning of her condition in March, as well as publicly posting a message of support.

They said at the time via a public statement: “We wish health and healing for Kate and the family, and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace.”
