Prince Harry and Meghan Markle should apologise in order to end their feud with the Royal Family, an expert has claimed.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have seemingly had very limited contact with the Royals since they decided to quit life in the UK and move to California back in 2020. Princess Kate has borne the brunt of the strained relationship in some opinions, with her having been the subject of some heartbreaking accusations in Harry’s memoir Spare.

Now with news of the Princess Of Wales being diagnosed with cancer and gearing up to undergo preventative chemotherapy, it seems the family needs to to pull together more than ever. But one Royal Commentator thinks the only way the family can move forward in unison is if Harry and Meghan make the first move.

Richard Eden of the Daily Mail told Palace Confidential: “Since Catherine’s video was broadcast almost a week ago, there’d been lots of suggestions that William, with his wife being treated for cancer, should mend fences with his brother, that it’s a great time for them to come back together.

“It’s up to Harry and Meghan to seek forgiveness. You know, we’re in the season of Lent, and they should be the ones who apologise for all the hurt they’ve caused. They’ve contributed to a terrible state of mental health.”

He added: “What has Catherine had to put up with over the past few years? Putting up with these constant barrage of attacks. Any of us would find that gruelling and hard to take. They should apologise, publicly or privately, and then maybe things can start to heal.”

It comes after another expert noted that with both the King and Kate, the Princess of Wales off duty for the time being “the absence of Harry has never been felt more acutely.” The expert, Tessa Dunlop – historian, author, and broadcaster – writing for The Independent explained just why “charismatic” Harry’s absence seems so significant as the Royal Family goes through a challenging period

Dunlop wrote in the aftermath of the furor over Kate’s edited Mother’s Day photo, which was withdrawn by news agencies on the grounds of suspected “manipulation”, explaining why the short list of working royals available to conduct engagements seemed like a concern – before Kate’s cancer diagnosis had even been made public.
