After years of estrangement and public tensions with the British Royal Family, Meghan Markle appears ready to extend an olive branch.
Reports suggest that the Duchess of Sussex is now keen on mending her fractured relationships with key members of the monarchy, a step she believes will benefit her public image and reputation, especially in the United States. According to sources speaking with Closer Magazine, Meghan has come to the realization that to secure her image and gain the credibility she desires, a reconciliatory approach toward the Royal Family may be essential.
It has been reported that she is willing to set aside past grievances and “swallow her pride” in hopes of rebuilding ties with prominent figures, including Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, and Queen Camilla. Meghan’s decision reportedly reflects her awareness of the significance that her familial relationships have on public perception, especially as she and Prince Harry navigate their new lives abroad.
In a move hinting at their long-term plans, Meghan and Harry recently purchased a luxury property in Portugal, which could serve as a symbolic bridge between their home base in the U.S. and the U.K. A source close to the couple explained that the new residence could allow Meghan and the children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, a convenient place to stay, while Meghan and Harry could easily make brief visits to the U.K. “The good news is that they can base themselves in Portugal, and Meghan can quickly fly over to the U.K. with Harry if needed to make her presence known,” the insider shared.
Recognizing that “times have changed,” Meghan reportedly feels that maintaining this cold distance from the Royal Family is no longer sustainable. As the source detailed, “Meghan realizes that she and Harry can’t continue with this cold war indefinitely; she understands the importance of taking steps toward reconciliation, even if it means setting aside some personal grievances.”
Despite the personal nature of past conflicts, Meghan is said to have made considerable efforts to move beyond perceived slights and misunderstandings, demonstrating a commitment to healing and progress. The source noted, “She acknowledges that her public image could benefit from some changes, yet she sees it as a manageable task. Meghan just hopes that her gestures of forgiveness and goodwill will be met in kind by the Royal Family.”
While the outcome remains uncertain, Meghan’s decision to initiate this reconciliation appears to stem from a genuine hope for mutual understanding and a better future for herself and her family. As the source aptly stated, “Only time will reveal if Meghan’s efforts lead to the outcome she desires, but she is ready to take the first steps.”
