Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s exit from royal duties in 2020 strained their ties with the royal family. Now in Montecito, California, they focus on raising their kids, Lilibet and Archie.

Their public statements, like the Oprah interview and Harry’s upcoming book “Spare,” escalated tensions with the royals. Prince William and Kate Middleton kept a low profile amid accusations.

Royal expert Ingrid Seward notes Meghan’s demands for a “groveling apology” for reconciliation. She highlights William’s requirement for Harry to apologize sincerely for past disrespect.

Despite occasional family gatherings, tensions linger, fueled by Meghan’s belief that Kate didn’t support her enough during her royal tenure.

Reconciliation efforts face hurdles, like Kate’s health concerns and Meghan’s unresolved grievances. Prince Harry’s UK visit for the Invictus Games could offer a chance, but Meghan’s worries for her kids’ safety and ongoing issues stand in the way. Reconciliation seems uncertain, given the complexity of the feud and demands for apologies from both sides.
