Royal | News - Prince Ricardo De La Cerda
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been warned that they’ll never be forgiven after causing so much “pain” to the Royal Family, an expert warned.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been at loggerheads with the Royal Family for some time, with tensions heightening since they decided to step down as senior working royals in 2020.
The pair, who now reside in the US, have been urged to not expect that they’ll ever be forgiven – especially by Prince William and Princess Kate.
Speaking of the ongoing feud, royal expert Charles Rae said: “Well, I think it is down to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to make the first move.
“Whether or not it would be accepted by William and Catherine, I doubt very much it would be. There’s too much water which has gone under that bridge.”
The expert told The Sun’s Royal Exclusive Show: “After everything Harry and Meghan have done with the Oprah Winfrey interview, that Netflix show… [Harry’s book] Spare. The flamboyant curtsey by Meghan on the show as well. There’s too much gone under the bridge now.”
He added that William and Kate may not “respond favourably” even if the pair did eventually try to heal the rift.
Speaking about the possibility of the brothers coming together, Mr Rae continued: “I don’t think it’s ever going to happen and I suspect one of the driving forces in not making it happen is Meghan herself. I’m not trying to blame her for everything.
“I don’t blame her for everything but I don’t think things she is doing help matters.”
He said: “William’s got a lot more on his mind right now than repairing the troubles with his own brother. He’s got his wife to look after and his three children. They are the most important things that are going on.”
Discussing the extent of the family rift in the present time, Mr Rae said: “Any rift in any family is very, very sad.
“They’re doing it in the full glare of publicity and that’s obviously ten times worse than you falling out with your brother or sister.
“But Harry’s caused an awful lot of pain to various members of the Royal Family, his father, his brother, his sister-in-law.”
Harry and Meghan currently live in Montecito with their two children, Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3.
The couple moved to the US with Archie shortly after stepping down as working royals, before welcoming their daughter the following year.
Prince Harry has made numerous visits to the UK, including a short visit back in May to see his father. Meghan, however, has not visited the UK for two years.
