Meghan Markle‘s business ventures with As Ever may complicate Prince Harry’s efforts to repair ties with the royal family, sources suggest, as the duke plans a potential return to Sandringham this summer.
While earlier private meetings hinted at progress, broader royal crises and unresolved trust and security issues have stalled momentum.
Prince Harry is also said to have been hesitant to leave royal life in 2020, and despite public gestures, the path toward mending long-standing family rifts remains uncertain.
Meghan Markle’s As Ever Launch Could Impact Prince Harry’s UK Reunion Plans

Meghan has been cautioned that her business activities with As Ever could complicate Harry’s efforts to reconcile with the royal family during potential reunions this year.
According to the Daily Express, sources suggest the duke hopes to attend Sandringham this summer, raising hopes that long-standing family tensions might finally ease.
The visit would coincide with Harry’s return to the UK to mark the one-year countdown to the 2027 Invictus Games in Birmingham, an event honoring wounded service members and veterans.
Royal commentator Richard Palmer noted that the timing of Meghan’s business initiatives will be crucial as they could “ruin” Harry’s hopes of ending the family feud.
“I can see one potential problem there, which is if Meghan is launching As Ever in the UK during a visit here,” he told The Mirror. “The King won’t want to be the backdrop or to be seen to be endorsing a commercial launch like that, so it will be important to consider the timing.”

King Charles III and Queen Camilla are expected to spend at least a week at Sandringham in July, offering a potential window for reconciliation.
Palmer noted that the King has expressed missing family moments, particularly his grandchildren, suggesting “he’s genuinely regretting missing out.”
If Meghan joins Harry, it would be her first UK visit since 2022, when they attended Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral. Discussions of a public father-and-son reunion have circulated for months, with speculation that Charles might speak at the Invictus Games, an event Harry considers a personal milestone.
Such an appearance would mark the first joint public outing for Harry and his father in years. Their last notable event together was Charles’ coronation, where Harry was absent from family displays on the Buckingham Palace balcony.
Tensions between Harry and the monarchy have persisted since he departed from the UK in 2020 with Meghan, intensified by his 2023 memoir “Spare” and a high-profile BBC interview in 2024, where he revealed ongoing estrangement over a legal dispute concerning his UK security arrangements.

Months after what had been hailed as a significant step toward mending their relationship, Harry and Charles appear no closer to reconciliation.
Sources shared that plans for a potential meeting during Charles’ April 2026 U.S. visit have been scrapped, with the trip now strictly official and no private engagements scheduled.
The optimism following their private September 2025 meeting at Clarence House, sparked by a handwritten letter from Harry expressing a desire to reconnect, has since waned.

Royal expert Christopher Andersen notes that broader crises, including fallout from Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s controversies, have taken precedence, leaving efforts to repair the father-son rift on hold.
“They haven’t got the bandwidth to repair the long-standing rupture with Harry,” Andersen told Us Weekly, per Hola. “That whole healing process appears to have been put on hold.”
Ongoing trust issues and unresolved UK security arrangements for Harry further complicate any progress, making reconciliation increasingly uncertain amid the monarchy’s wider challenges.

Adding context to the 2020 departure, Harry was reportedly hesitant about stepping away from royal life.
According to Hugo Vickers’ book “Queen Elizabeth II,” the Duke of Sussex was “reluctant” about his and Meghan’s exit from The Firm.
The move followed Meghan hinting at struggles during a 2019 interview with Tom Bradby, prompting a holiday retreat to Canada.
Upon returning to England, Harry sought a discussion with the Queen, only to be told it was “all in or all out,” leading him to reluctantly return to Canada.
In January 2020, Harry and Meghan officially announced their plan to step back from senior royal duties, stating their desire to create a “progressive new role” within the family.
Elizabeth publicly acknowledged their decision, expressing respect for their wish to live more independently while remaining part of the royal family.
