Meghan Markle is reportedly feeling remorseful about her long-standing feud with Princess Kate and is seeking reconciliation. This sentiment was shared by British royal expert Hilary Fordwich, who told Fox News Digital that the Duchess of Sussex has been reflecting on her strained relationship with the Princess of Wales, especially in light of Kate’s ongoing battle with cancer.
According to Fordwich, Meghan is said to be remorseful and does not want any bad blood between them. She emphasized that Meghan needs and wants some form of reconciliation, but acknowledged that it will be a long journey for Kate to see any benefit in mending their relationship for the royal family or the public.
The claims of Meghan’s remorse come shortly after insiders revealed to In Touch that the former actress wants to make peace with Kate, despite feeling genuinely hurt over their feud. The two women last saw each other publicly at Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral in September 2022, and Meghan has not returned to the U.K. since.
An unnamed source told the outlet that Meghan regrets how things unfolded and never intended to harm Kate. The source added that Meghan realizes she could have handled things differently and has been making efforts to show concern for Kate during this difficult time.
Christopher Andersen, author of “The King,” told Fox News Digital that the royal wives were never close. He explained that even before their infamous row over flower girls’ dresses at Harry and Meghan’s wedding, their relationship was frosty. After the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s exit from royal duties in 2020, Kate focused on her family and royal responsibilities, distancing herself from Meghan.
Andersen noted that Kate tried to reconcile Prince Harry and Prince William, but the Sussexes’ explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey and Harry’s memoir “Spare” made it impossible. He added that Meghan has been pursuing her projects in California, showing little interest in repairing relations with her royal in-laws.
Meghan became the Duchess of Sussex when she married Prince Harry in 2018. The couple moved to California in 2020, citing unbearable intrusions and racist attitudes from the British media as reasons for their departure. In their 2021 interview with Oprah, Meghan addressed reports that she made Kate cry before her wedding, clarifying that the reverse happened and that Kate had apologized.
Meghan described Kate as a good person and urged people not to pit them against each other. She emphasized that loving one does not mean hating the other. At the time, Kensington Palace did not respond to requests for comment.
In March, Kate revealed she was undergoing chemotherapy for an unspecified form of cancer. Meghan and Harry posted a message of support for Kate, wishing her health and healing. It is believed that the Sussexes also reached out to Kate privately, despite the strained relationship between Harry and William.
Royal expert Ian Pelham Turner told Fox News Digital that Meghan has been sending signals that she wishes to build bridges between herself and Prince Harry. He noted that Meghan does not want the same intensity of bad blood for Harry as she has experienced with her father. However, William may be dominating the dialogue, and Kate, as a loyal royal wife, will accept his decision.
Despite these efforts, some royal experts believe Meghan will not be extending an olive branch to Kate anytime soon. Kinsey Schofield, host of the “To Di For Daily” podcast, claimed that Meghan is focused on her latest business venture, a Netflix series celebrating cooking, gardening, entertaining, and friendship. This show coincides with her upcoming lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard.
Schofield suggested that Meghan is fixated on her life in America and does not see a future in the U.K. She added that Meghan’s focus is on her projects and not on reconciliation with her royal in-laws.
Andersen agreed, stating that while Meghan may be concerned about the emotional impact of Kate’s and King Charles’ cancer diagnoses on Harry, there is no indication that she feels she owes anyone in the royal family an apology. He described Meghan as someone who does not harbor regrets or guilt and is unlikely to reach out to Kate, knowing she would likely be rebuffed.
Andersen also noted that Harry and Meghan are counting on Meghan’s new cooking show to save their $100 million Netflix deal. He claimed that every new moneymaking scheme from the Sussexes causes frustration for William and Charles, making peacemaking talks unlikely.
In conclusion, while Meghan may be remorseful and seeking reconciliation, the deep wounds and ongoing tensions within the royal family make it uncertain whether any efforts to mend relationships will be successful.
