Meghan Markle's two demands before she'll reconcile with Kate and William
Meghan Markle has reportedly set forth two conditions, including a 'grovelling apology', before she considers mending fences with Prince William and Kate Middleton, claims one Royal expert.
The Sussexes' rapport with the Royal Family has been tense post their Royal duty departure in 2020 and their move stateside, placing Prince Harry and Meghan at loggerheads with the upper echelons of royalty.
Royal commentator Tom Quinn told the Mirror: "Harry would like a reconciliation, but supports his wife completely and until she feels that the Royal family have been sufficiently nice to her - and grovelingly apologised for the past - it's not going to happen."
Since stepping back, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex haven't shied away from airing their Royal grievances, be it through their explosive Oprah Winfrey interview or their contentious Netflix docuseries.
Quinn implies that Meghan is the barrier to Harry seeking amends with the Prince and Princess of Wales, despite Kate's recent health scare, reports the Daily Record.
He maintained: "There has been a shift here since Kate's illness Harry and Meghan do feel they need to extend an olive branch, but Meghan's sense of grievance is still preventing anything really meaningful happening. Illness often brings warring family members together, and there have been hopes at Kensington Palace that Kate's illness might do it."
The royal author claims that William and Kate have made efforts to repair ties with the Sussexes and have extended an invitation to Meghan and Harry, encouraging them to bring Archie and Lilibet to the UK for a visit - but Meghan has "refused."
The Royal author alleges that despite efforts by William and Kate to mend fences with the Sussexes - including an invitation for Meghan and Harry to bring their children Archie and Lilibet to the UK for a visit - Meghan has declined.
"There is no way Meghan would bring the children to the UK," he added. "William and Kate have suggested that Meghan and Harry bring the children and that the two couples and their families try to makeup, but the suggestion is not leading anywhere so far."
The relationship between the Sussexes and the Cambridges has been fraught following the Sussexes' candid revelations about Royal life in their Netflix documentary series and their explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Prince Harry's bombshell memoir Spare sent shockwaves through the Royal family with its explosive claims. The Duke of Sussex recounts a fierce row with his brother Prince William, accusing him of labelling Meghan Markle as "difficult", "rude", and "abrasive".
The book goes on to describe how the altercation escalated, alleging that William grabbed Harry by the collar, ripped his necklace, and knocked him to the floor.
