The possibility of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reuniting with the royal family may hinge on their two children, Archie and Lilibet, as suggested by royal author Andrew Lowney.
Speculation surrounding Harry and Meghan’s attendance at King Charles III’s upcoming coronation took center stage in royal circles until their plans were recently revealed.
It was disclosed that Harry would represent the Sussex household alone, while Meghan chose to remain in the U.S. to be with Archie and Lilibet.
Coincidentally, on the day of the coronation, Archie will be turning four years old, a significant milestone that likely influenced Meghan’s decision to stay in California with her son instead of crossing the Atlantic for the festivities.
This choice was perceived as another strain in the already fragile relationship between the Sussexes and the royal family, a rift that initially surfaced when Harry and Meghan relocated to the United States.
The departure of the couple from their royal duties, famously termed as “Megxit,” led to their distancing from public engagements, although they made occasional appearances at events in the U.K., such as the Queen’s Jubilee and a funeral last year.
According to Lowney, who authored the book “Traitor King, The Scandalous Exile of the Duke of Windsor” in 2021, the couple’s children could potentially serve as a catalyst for reconciliation between the two households.
In an exclusive interview with Express.co.uk, Lowney expressed his belief that the children might play a crucial role in bridging the gap between the Sussexes and the royal family, leaving the door open for future reconciliation.
Recently, Harry confirmed his attendance at the coronation, bringing joy to Buckingham Palace as he prepares to witness this historic event.
However, the duration of Harry’s stay in Britain for the celebrations remains uncertain.
Noted author Omid Scobie, known for “Finding Freedom,” suggested that Harry’s visit to the U.K. would be brief, primarily encompassing his presence at the coronation ceremony at Westminster.
Scheduled for May 6th, the coronation will be followed by a grand concert featuring renowned artists like Katy Perry, Take That, and Lionel Richie at Windsor Castle on May 7th.
Despite the allure of the event, Harry is expected to return promptly to the U.S. to be with Meghan, Archie, and Lilibet.
A source close to Harry, as reported by The Mirror, revealed that the Duke of Sussex had no plans to engage with any organizations he supports during his visit to the U.K. After deliberation, Harry ultimately decided to attend the coronation but emphasized that his stay would be brief.
Regrettably, sources indicated that Harry would not be joining the royal family at the concert, missing out on what promises to be a spectacular event.
