Prince Harry and Meghan Markle: The apology William and Kate would need to forgive them

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could have an opportunity to draw closer to William and Kate Middleton again, but the path toward a family reconciliation would have an important condition: acknowledging the damage caused by their public statements about the British royal family and offering a sincere apology.

The possibility stirred up controversy once again after Richard Eden, editor of the Daily Mail, gave his opinion on the distance between the Sussexes and the Prince and Princess of Wales during the Palace Confidential podcast. The expert believes that a gesture of remorse directed especially at William and Kate could help repair the relationship, although he made it clear that an apology would not be enough to improve their public image.

According to Richard Eden, genuinely asking for forgiveness could benefit Harry and Meghan's image, but he insisted that the gesture would have to be honest and heartfelt, not just an attempt to regain popularity.

"What they could do to increase their popularity would be to offer a sincere apology to the Royal Family, and in particular to William and Kate, for the damage they have caused," said Eden.

A source close to them previously stated that mending their relationship with the Prince and Princess of Wales was part of Meghan and Harry's plans for the future.

"They want to focus on the future and hope it includes a reconciliation at some point," said the source, who added that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex wanted to have the opportunity to speak directly about their previous comments, and also revealed that "Meghan will apologize."

Why would William and Kate expect an apology from Harry and Meghan?

The rift between the two couples deepened after Harry and Meghan spoke publicly about their experiences within the monarchy.

One of the most delicate episodes was the interview they gave to Oprah Winfrey in March 2021. During the conversation, Meghan recounted that there were comments and conversations within the royal family about what Archie's skin color might be before he was born.

Harry also spoke about the difficulties his wife faced and the problems she had with members of the monarchical institution. Subsequently, the Sussexes went deeper into their family differences through the Netflix documentary series and the prince's memoir, titled "Spare."
