The pair consider healing their royal rift to secure their future<\/p>\n

After a disastrous 2023, Meghan and Harry are hoping they can repair relations in 2024<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
2023 proved to be a nightmare year for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle \u2013 and in hopes of bringing good luck for 2024, we\u2019re told that the Sussexes are planning the ultimate shock U-turn and considering returning to the UK for a \u201ctruce tour\u201d.<\/p>\n
From the backlash of Harry\u2019s controversial memoir, Spare, to varying recollections over their \u201cnear-catastrophic\u201d car chase, the last 12 months have been a series of setbacks for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Indeed, it seems Meghan, 42, and Harry, 39, have seen their star power decline. The duo were even named on The Hollywood Reporter\u2019s biggest losers of 2023 list, with donations for their Archewell foundation plunging by nearly \u00a310m in the last year alone.<\/p>\n
But after it emerged before Christmas that Prince Harry was to be awarded \u00a3140,600 in damages for his phone-hacking case against the Daily Mirror, things could be looking up. As a judge ruled that there was \u201cextensive\u201d phone hacking by the tabloid between 2006 to 2011, Prince Harry hailed the occasion \u201ca great day for truth.\u201d Now, we\u2019re told that the former working royal is hoping his court case ruling may bring sympathetic shoulders his way. \u00a0<\/p>\n

The last time both Harry and Meghan were in the UK together was for the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
Our source says, \u201cHarry is hoping the momentum of his recent court win will encourage certain members of the monarchy to empathise with him more. He hopes to sit with King Charles and other key members of the Firm in the new year and enlist their support as the case moves forward.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rather than the usual flying visit \u2013 Harry spent less than 48 hours in the UK for the King\u2019s coronation \u2013 we\u2019re told that their next trip to London will be more extensive, with Harry looking to mend his fractured relationship with his family. <\/p>\n
\u201cHe wants Meghan by his side as they line up meetings to air their grievances and make peace in a non-confrontational way. For all their bravado, 2023 was a nightmare year, and they can\u2019t face being any more unpopular than they already are. It\u2019s time to cut losses, repair rifts, and ensure those titles don\u2019t go anywhere,\u201d reveals our source.<\/p>\n

Prince Harry and King Charles haven’t been on good terms for a long time now<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
However, for Meghan and Harry to be welcomed back into the royal fold, some burned bridges will need to be rebuilt. Rumours of a royal feud have swirled for years since Harry and Meghan stepped back as senior working royals, moving across the pond in 2020 to pursue a more private life with children Archie, four, and Lilibet, two.<\/p>\n
A number of bombshells have been dropped following the duo\u2019s departure \u2013 including Meghan telling Oprah that members of the royal family raised \u201cconcerns\u201d about the colour of Archie\u2019s skin, with Harry also branding Camilla Parker-Bowles, 76, a \u201cdangerous\u201d woman. With once private matters made public, the Sussexes have near shattered the royal mantra of \u201cnever explain, never complain.\u201d To top it off, it was reported last month that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex could see their titles stripped by the government in new proposed legislation.<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/12\/GettyImages-1421371484.jpg” title_text=”The Duke And Duchess Of Sussex Attend The Invictus Games Dusseldorf 2023 – One Year to Go” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text module_class=”custom-gallery-caption” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|600|||||||” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” background_color=”#111111″ text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”-2.75%||||false|false” custom_padding=”4px|8px|4px|8px|true|true” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
Meghan has supposedly agreed to bring Archie and Lilibet along for the trip<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
Now, we\u2019re told the pair are willing to swallow their pride to get their family back with the hope of securing their titles for the future.<\/p>\n
\u201cBehind closed doors, Harry and Meghan are still as bullish and righteous as they\u2019ve ever been, and they strongly believe they\u2019ve been victimised and misunderstood. For all their issues and setbacks, they believe that they\u2019re on the right path and karma will prevail. But at the end of the day, they\u2019re also pragmatists, and it\u2019s become painfully apparent that their image has taken a major battering from all these public tussles with the monarchy,\u201d our source explains. \u201cAt the end of the day, it\u2019s fruitless to try and take on the juggernaut of the royal family\u2019s PR department. They need to approach their relationship with the royals from a chess playing perspective, looking at the long game rather than settling scores. Rightly or wrongly, it\u2019s 100 percent apparent that a lot of people have decided to slide against them and support the royals and they\u2019ve come out of it very much second best. Now, instead of fighting head on, they\u2019re taking a step back and trying a new approach. It means biting their lip, keeping their heads down, and eating a large slice of humble pie.\u201d<\/p>\n
With the couple planning to extend an olive branch and fly to the UK in the near future, we\u2019re told that planning is already underway. And most importantly, it\u2019s hoped Archie and Lilibet will come too, giving Charles and the other royals the chance to spend some long-awaited time with the little ones.<\/p>\n
Our source says, \u201cHarry hates the idea of heading over without being assured an audience with certain people, his father especially, so he\u2019s reached out and asked for dates. Harry intends to look his father in the eye and apologise for hurting his feelings, and he\u2019s even willing to do the same with Camilla. He\u2019s had Meghan\u2019s assurance that she and the kids will be by his side when the trip is lined up. They\u2019re hoping before the end of January, schedules permitting.\u201d<\/p>\n

The “Fab Four”, back in 2018, happily celebrating Christmas together<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
But while King Charles, 75, might be willing to welcome his youngest son with open arms, we\u2019re told that Harry faces a tougher battle when it comes to big brother Prince William, and sister-in-law Princess Kate.<\/p>\n
Explaining that the situation with the Prince and Princess of Wales, both 41, is \u201cmore complicated,\u201d our source reveals, \u201cWilliam has let it be known that he has no interest in coming face to face with Harry for the foreseeable future, and Kate feels similarly towards Meghan. The Sussexes are hoping they\u2019ll soften in time.\u201d<\/p>\n
And with the duo ready to wave the white flag and end their crusade, Harry and Meghan are feeling worried at what the next few months could bring. <\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re nervous about this trip, but they did a lot of brainstorming and concluded with their team that it\u2019s the right thing to do,\u201d we\u2019re told. \u201cAt this point, they need to repair and reconcile. They need to let everyone see that they can be the bigger people in moving towards lasting peace. It\u2019s a real change in strategy, but it\u2019s one they hope will help their cause in the long run \u2013 on both sides of the pond.\u201d<\/p>\n
