Whispers have been circulating about a potential reconciliation within the royal family following the revelation of the king’s battle with cancer.

The king, yearning to reunite with his grandkids Archie and Lilibet, may extend an invitation to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex for a summer visit at Balmoral Castle, as per insights from a source disclosed to Page Six.

Traditionally, the king, accompanied by members of his family such as the Prince and Princess of Wales, finds solace in retreating to the serene Scottish Highlands annually.

However, this year promises a departure from the norm, with indications pointing towards a possible thaw in relations between the monarch and the Sussexes.

Insider information obtained by Page Six reveals the king’s keenness to connect with his grandchildren and mend fences with the Sussexes through a potential visit.

Perhaps spurred by a newfound realization of life’s fleeting nature, the king seems inclined towards fostering familial bonds that have somewhat waned over time.

Archie, born on May 6, 2019, and Lilibet, welcomed on June 4, 2021, have experienced a degree of detachment from the royal fold.

Their parents, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, made headlines on January 8, 2020, with their decision to step back from royal duties, a move colloquially dubbed Megxit, and relocate to the United States.

Notably, Lilibet’s name pays homage to Queen Elizabeth II, her great-grandmother.

Both Archie and Lilibet straddle dual citizenships, belonging to both the United Kingdom and the United States.

Recent reports from the Daily Mail suggest efforts by the Prince and Princess of Wales to mediate the rift between the Sussexes, proposing a visit to the UK with their children.

In an interview with the Daily Mail, Tom Quinn shed light on the royal couple’s plea for a royal reunion involving Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

However, sources indicate resistance from the Duchess towards bringing her children back to the UK, underscoring the complexities surrounding the family dynamics and potential reconciliatory gestures.
