Prince Harry<\/a>‘s upcoming trip to London is already fraught with controversy, as he prepares to potentially meet<\/a> with his estranged royal relatives<\/a> who are wary of the wayward Duke of Sussex, RadarOnline.com<\/em><\/a>can reveal.<\/p>\n Harry, 40, will be on hand for the WellChild Awards on September 8, which coincides with the third anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II<\/a>‘s death. The royal family will likely still be on their summer vacation at Scotland’s Balmoral Castle, making the logistics of a reunion even more challenging.<\/p>\n “Harry\u2019s team is pushing for an answer, but Palace insiders stress that diaries are \u2018tight\u2019 due to the family\u2019s gathering at Balmoral, and there is nervousness about what Harry might expect,” an insider revealed about talks to get the duke together with his father, King Charles III<\/a>, who is battling cancer<\/a>.<\/p>\n “There\u2019s no appetite for confrontation. But equally, they know Harry is determined \u2013 and that makes things tricky,” the souce spilled.<\/p>\n The prospect of Harry’s wife, “Diva Duchess” Meghan Markle<\/a>, joining him on the trip has further complicated the situation. She hasn’t returned to England since 2022, and the queen died during their visit. The duo ended up staying through the period of mourning and the subsequent funeral.<\/p>\n Markle’s presence would complicate the situation, as according to the source, there are disagreements about whether she should be present if Harry meets with the king and whether Prince William<\/a> would agree to join them.<\/p>\n “It\u2019s like trying to organize a political summit. Every side has conditions, and unless they can all agree, it risks falling apart completely,” the insider dished.<\/p>\n Harry remains estranged from his brother, William, and his wife, Kate Middleton<\/a>. The last time the three were in the same place was for Charles’ coronation in May 2023, although Harry was seated several rows back and had no interaction with the couple.<\/p>\n “One of the most sensitive sticking points is whether Harry should meet with William and Kate. Harry has always felt Kate was a bridge between him and William. If he can get her on side and win her over, he feels the rest will follow,” said the source.<\/p>\n While Harry may want his wife by his side, the With Love, Meghan<\/em> star has little interest in being part of his royal drama.<\/p>\n \u201cFor Meghan, the situation is even more fraught. Friends say she feels any trip to the UK would reopen old wounds and put her in the firing line. Meghan absolutely doesn\u2019t want to be seen as the problem all over again. She\u2019s put her foot down and made it quite clear that Harry must do this on his own,\u201d the source adds.<\/p>\n The former Suits<\/em> star already lobbed a fresh diss<\/a> at the royal family in a recent interview<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was different several years ago, where I couldn\u2019t be as vocal and I had to wear nude pantyhose all the time,\u201d Markle complained about royal protocol and declared it was “not very myself,” and felt “inauthentic.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cRight now, I don\u2019t feel that I need to prove anything,\u201d the As ever founder bragged about her current freedom from royal life.<\/p>\n She and Harry sensationally stepped down<\/a> as senior working royals in 2020, less than two years after their lavish May 2018 wedding, and moved to California.<\/p>\n Harry told the BBC in May that he would “love a reconciliation<\/a>” with his family, adding, “there’s no point continuing to fight any more, life is precious.”<\/p>\n However, the duke failed to acknowledge that his actions had played a significant role in his estrangement from the other royals, including Harry and Markle’s 2022 blistering tell-all Netflix docuseries<\/a> and his 2023 memoir, Spare,<\/em> in which he lobbed plenty of fury at his royal relatives<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cHe knows this could be the last real chance to sort things out, that\u2019s why he\u2019s so determined. But with Meghan\u2019s attendance hanging in the balance, and the Palace dragging its heels, there\u2019s every chance it could all collapse. And that would devastate him,\u201d the source shared.<\/p>\n The insider added, \u201cMeghan doesn\u2019t see the point in walking back into the lion\u2019s den. Harry wants Meghan by his side \u2013 he feels stronger with her there \u2013 but Meghan thinks she\u2019d be walking into a trap. The Palace doesn\u2019t particularly want her there either, which makes things even more complicated.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.aol.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" MEGA Prince Harry‘s upcoming trip to London is already fraught with controversy, as he prepares to potentially meet with his estranged royal relatives who are wary of the wayward Duke of Sussex, RadarOnline.comcan reveal.
