The Princess of Wales and the Duchess of Sussex are reportedly 'open to peace' as King Charles attempts to heal the long-running rift that has divided the Royal Family since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped away from royal duties in 2020.
According to insiders, the monarch is eager to restore harmony within the family and believes now may be the right time for reconciliation, particularly as both King Charles and Kate Middleton continue their respective health recoveries.
The claims surfaced ahead of Markle's rumoured return to the UK later this year, with sources suggesting the King hopes the visit could provide an opportunity for private conversations away from the public spotlight.
An insider told OK! Magazine that both women are willing to move forward despite years of reported tension.
'Kate and Meghan are both open to peace because they know the feud has gone on long enough', the source claimed.
The insider added that King Charles has been quietly encouraging family members to rebuild relationships in recent months, especially after what has been described as an emotionally difficult period for the monarchy.
'Charles hates the idea of his family being divided and wants everyone to move on', the source continued.
Rumours of a strained relationship between Middleton and Markle have followed the pair for years, dating back to the lead-up to Markle and Prince Harry's 2018 wedding. Speculation intensified after the Sussexes' explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021, during which the Duchess of Sussex alleged concerns had been raised within the Royal Family over her unborn son Archie's skin colour.
The situation deteriorated further following the release of Prince Harry's memoir Spare, where the Duke of Sussex detailed arguments and tensions involving Prince William and Princess Kate.
Despite the public fallout, royal watchers have long speculated that senior royals hoped for eventual reconciliation behind closed doors.
King Charles Reportedly Wants Family Unity
Sources now claim King Charles believes the ongoing feud has become damaging for both sides and wants to focus on family unity as the monarchy faces increasing scrutiny.
The monarch, who has continued carrying out public duties while undergoing cancer treatment, is said to be especially mindful of preserving stability within the institution.
'Charles wants less drama and more togetherness', the insider alleged. 'He knows there's been hurt on all sides, but he feels the family cannot remain fractured forever.'
The reported peace efforts come as Prince Harry has also publicly expressed a desire for reconciliation with his family.
During a recent BBC interview, the Prince admitted he would 'love reconciliation' with his father and brother, while also acknowledging that trust issues remain unresolved.
Meanwhile, Middleton has reportedly softened her stance amid her own personal challenges over the past year.
Meghan Markle's Possible UK Visit Sparks Fresh Speculation
Speculation surrounding Markle's potential UK visit has only fuelled rumours that private discussions could soon take place.
While no official plans have been confirmed, insiders believe any return would likely be carefully managed to avoid unnecessary media attention.
Neither Kensington Palace nor the Sussexes' representatives have commented publicly on the reconciliation reports.
Still, royal experts suggest even a small thaw in relations would mark a significant turning point after years of headlines dominated by family tensions, interviews, and bombshell revelations.
For now, it appears King Charles is determined to act as peacemaker behind the scenes, hoping the once-close royal households may eventually find common ground again.
Whether Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle can truly leave the past behind remains uncertain, but sources close to the situation say the door to peace may finally be opening.
