King Charles has reportedly forgiven his son Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle for their controversial decision to step back from their royal duties and move to the US. The king, who ascended to the throne earlier this year after the death of his mother Queen Elizabeth II, is said to have reached out to the couple and expressed his desire to heal the rift that has divided the royal family.
According to a source close to the palace, King Charles sent a letter to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, in which he acknowledged their reasons for leaving the UK and assured them that they are still loved and respected members of the family. The source said that the king also invited them to visit him and his wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, at their residence in Highgrove House, Gloucestershire, for Christmas.
According to Thenews, The source said that the king’s letter was “warm, sincere and heartfelt” and that he hoped that it would pave the way for a peaceful and harmonious relationship between the two sides. The source added that the king was motivated by his sense of duty and his concern for the well-being of his grandchildren, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, who have not seen their royal relatives since they were born.
However, the source also revealed that the king’s letter has not received any response from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who are currently living in their $14 million mansion in Montecito, California. The source said that the couple have not indicated any intention to accept the king’s invitation or to resume contact with the rest of the family. The source said that the couple are “very happy” with their new life in the US and that they are focused on their various projects, such as their Netflix and Spotify deals, their Archewell Foundation and their upcoming memoirs.
The source said that the king is “disappointed” but “not surprised” by the silence of his son and daughter-in-law, who have made several public statements in the past year that have criticized the royal institution and accused some members of the family of racism and neglect. The source said that the king is “willing to forgive and forget” but that he also respects their decision to live independently and that he will not pressure them to return to the fold.
The source said that the king hopes that time will heal the wounds and that one day, he will be able to see his son and daughter-in-law again and to meet his grandchildren in person. The source said that the king believes that “family is everything” and that he wants to end his reign on a positive note.
