Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s Rift with Royals: Is Forgiveness Possible?

The relationship between the British royal family and Meghan Markle and Prince Harry has been strained for years, and the question of whether the royal family will ever forgive them is still a matter of debate.

Harry and Meghan announced in January 2020 that they were stepping back from royal duties, and by March 2020 they had stepped back from their roles as senior royals. They then moved to California with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. The decision—often referred to as “Megxit”—created a rift within the royal family, and their 2021 Oprah Winfrey interview and Harry’s 2023 book *Spear* further exacerbated the tensions. They made shocking revelations about the royal family in the interview and book, including allegations of racial bias and personal feuds.

Some experts believe that forgiveness is possible, but it won’t be easy. King Charles III, who is the father of his son Harry, has reportedly kept some doors open, as evidenced by a brief meeting with Harry in 2023. But relations with Prince William, the future king, are all but dead. He is said to be deeply upset by his brother’s public comments against the royal family. The responsibility to maintain the royal family’s symbol of unity also complicates the forgiveness process, as any soft approach could be seen as weakness.

Meghan and Harry, on the other hand, are busy in their new lives, making a name for themselves through Netflix deals and charitable work. Their actions seem to indicate that they are willing to move forward without the royal family’s approval. But if they reach a major turning point like divorce—which is still only speculation—it could open the way for Harry to make a comeback, although forgiveness for Meghan seems unlikely.

History shows that the royal family has weathered conflict in the past—such as Charles and Diana’s divorce—and still held strong. But this apology is a combination of personal grief and public pressure. Charles may eventually reconcile with his son, but Meghan’s quest to win back the royal family will be a different and more difficult challenge. For now, the apology depends on what both sides do next—and how far they are willing to go.
