Prince Harry is said to be eager to mend his relationship with the royal family, but Meghan Markle’s influence is preventing him from taking the necessary steps, according to a new report from Closer Magazine. The publication suggests that the Duke of Sussex, who has felt estranged from his family for some time, is now recognizing the importance of reconciling, especially in light of recent health scares affecting his loved ones.
The report indicates that both King Charles and Kate Middleton have faced cancer diagnoses, prompting Harry to reconsider his stance. Although he still feels “scorned” by his family, he is beginning to see the need for amends. “It’s clear that Harry has a lot of apologizing to do, but he is struggling because he still feels scorned by his family,” an insider shared.
The insider further explained, “The recent health battles of his father and sister-in-law have put things into perspective, and he knows he must try everything he can to make things right.” However, the road to reconciliation seems complicated, as Meghan reportedly holds significant sway over Harry’s decisions.
According to the source, Meghan has been the dominant voice in their relationship, preventing Harry from making a move toward his family. “No one close to the family believes that can happen while he still takes orders from Meghan to stay in Montecito. They feel the only thing that could help the family heal is if he stands up to her,” the insider claimed.
The report concludes that while Harry may be motivated to reconnect with his father, brother, and other members of the royal family, Meghan remains firmly in control of their future decisions. “It’s clear that Meghan is the one calling the shots,” the insider added.
As Harry faces the challenge of balancing his loyalty to his wife with the desire to rebuild ties with his family, it remains to be seen if he will be able to take the steps needed to bridge the divide.
