In a recent development, Meghan Markle reportedly engaged in an “awkward” phone conversation with King Charles, marking their first contact in six months. The call, described as “polite” by insiders, unfolded with Prince Harry extending birthday wishes to his father. However, reports suggest that Meghan’s exchange with the King carried a hint of discomfort.
According to a report from Express, during the conversation, the couple’s children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, took part by sharing a pre-recorded video with their grandfather. Despite the familial connection, sources reveal that Meghan and Charles struggled to navigate the conversation seamlessly.
Amidst these strained relations, there are indications that Meghan and Harry are facing challenges in sustaining their Hollywood aspirations. Recent reports claim that the couple has faced setbacks, having been rejected for multiple projects, including an HBO documentary. Meghan is said to attribute these professional hurdles to the fading royal connection.
A source close to the situation disclosed to Closer magazine that Meghan has become increasingly tense, prompting her to implore Harry to take action. The Duchess is reportedly urging her husband to initiate talks with Charles and William, even suggesting a solo trip for Harry in a desperate attempt to salvage their standing within the royal circle.
The insider revealed, “She’s become extremely snappy and begged Harry to do something to prevent them from being cut off completely… Even urging him to take a solo trip to talk to Charles and William in a desperate attempt to keep a foot in the door.”
This latest development aligns with ongoing rumors indicating the Sussexes’ eagerness to mend fences with King Charles III and the broader British Royal Family. Speculation is rife that the couple would not decline an invitation to spend Christmas at Sandringham in Norfolk. However, as of now, no official invitations for the holidays have been extended.
An insider informed The Times, “I can’t imagine the Sussexes would decline an invitation to spend time with His Majesty. As of yet, there have not been any invitations for the holidays.”
It’s noteworthy that the last time Harry and Meghan participated in Christmas festivities at Sandringham was in 2018. During that occasion, they were seen alongside the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William, and Kate, on Christmas Day.
As the Sussexes navigate these intricate dynamics, the world watches with anticipation, wondering whether the royal family’s fractured relationships can be repaired, and whether Meghan and Harry can successfully navigate the challenges of balancing royal ties with their Hollywood aspirations.
