According to royalist Jennie Bond, Meghan Markle could be unnerved by Prince Harry being back in the U.K. — and possibly around King Charles III — after the intense turmoil between the couple and The Firm unfolded."It would be natural for her to feel somewhat threatened by her husband being drawn back into the royal circle. So, I think she would have conflicting emotions about Harry meeting his father, if this is indeed on the cards," the journalist explained. "I'm sure, though, that they would have discussed it and that Harry would not go ahead if he did not have his wife's support."

While it has not been confirmed whether or not Prince Harry and King Charles III will come face-to-face, it would reportedly be the first time the father and son have seen each other in months."Harry has a huge mountain to overcome," royal biographer Tom Bower explained of their rift. "On a human basis, he used to get on very well with Charles, so, particularly from Harry's perspective, he needs reconciliation. But time is not on their side."
"There would be huge levels of emotion involved if they met. Whatever Charles is facing, he would much prefer to have a good relationship with his son, so I'm sure he wants reconciliation," he added. "But he must bear in mind that he's dealing with someone who could sabotage everything and embarrass him enormously."

During Prince Harry and King Charles III's legal battle over the U.K. government taking away the Spare author's security, Harry claimed the leader of England refused to speak with him because of the drama he caused."The fear with the court case was that Harry could invent something the King said about the case — and it would cause a constitutional crisis," Tom Bower noted of the suit, which the 40-year-old ultimately lost. "That fear has prevented any meeting until now, but even now the case is over, the fear still remains."

If Prince Harry and King Charles III make amends, some think Meghan Markle will struggle with her husband speaking to the royals again."If — and hopefully it's a 'when' not an 'if' — Harry starts to reconcile with his family over here, Meghan will ultimately face an exceedingly difficult choice," royal commentator Duncan Larcombe explained. "Does she come with Harry and look the people she's criticized in the eyes? Which is going to be tough. Or does she allow Harry to come with the children and stay away? If it's the latter, she would miss the children and it would be interpreted as an enormous snub by Meghan herself and the rift then becomes more about her than Harry. She faces potentially difficult choices if we're getting to a state where Harry's prepared to bury the hatchet."
