Meghan Markle and Prince Harry looked happier than ever as they celebrated their eighth wedding anniversary on May 19 and shared affectionate moments together. But behind the polished anniversary tributes, insiders now claim the couple may disagree over a major question about their future, whether they should ever return to royal duties in any capacity.
Prince Harry wants Meghan Markle by his side for a part-time royal role, per source
According to reports, Harry has started revisiting the idea of a part-time royal role for himself and Meghan, believing there may still be a path back into the fold under King Charles III. Meghan, however, reportedly has very different plans for her future in California.
Sources told Woman’s Day that Prince Harry believes “he’s getting very close” to convincing King Charles III to let him and Meghan Markle return as part-time working royals. “He genuinely believes there’s a role for them both,” the insider claimed, adding that Harry feels now may be the right moment to revisit those conversations while “Charles is still able to make those calls.”
The source said Harry no longer wants to handle reconciliation efforts alone. Sources claim the Duke of Sussex believes any successful return to royal life would only work if he and Meghan approached it together. “The problem is Harry can’t keep doing this solo,” the insider explained. “For it to really work, it needs to feel like a united front.”
According to the source, Harry still sees Meghan beside him as part of the vision he originally imagined when they first married. “That’s what the plan was when they first met,” the insider claimed. “Yes, they’ve taken an American detour, but he doesn’t see why that needs to stand in their way.” However, the source claimed Meghan Markle does not feel the same way and has already created a new plan for her life that she wants to follow. “She’s not ready to scrap it all and go back to be the face of the royal family,” the insider alleged. “They’re very much at odds in this, and neither seems ready to budge.”
