Meghan Markle wants Harry and Charles to get closer: ‘It doesn’t have to be this way’

Meghan Markle, 41, wants Princes Harry, 37, and Prince Charles, 73, son and father, to get back together after the couple walked away from royal life – his father-in-law has stopped taking his son’s calls since he moved. with the family to California. The statement was made by the Duchess of Sussex in an interview with The Cut magazine, from New York, published this Monday (29).

Meghan has spoken about her estranged relationship with her father, Thomas Markle, to whom she sent a letter when she married Harry asking him to stop giving tabloid interviews. According to the Duchess, it wasn’t just her paternal relationship that was shaken.

“Harry told me, ‘I lost my father in this process,'” the Duchess said of how her husband felt about stepping away from the British royal family. “It doesn’t have to be that way for them. [Harry e Charles] as it was for me, but that’s his decision,” he added.

A royal source tells People that the royal couple met Prince Charles and his wife Camila Parker Bowles as they visited the UK for the celebration of Queen Elizabeth’s Jubilee. Charles was thrilled to see grandchildren Archie, 3, meet Lilibet again.

Meghan said she is still healing from the negative experiences she has had in the royal family and that forgiveness is really important. “It takes a lot more energy not to forgive. But it takes a lot of effort to forgive, to really make an active effort, especially knowing I can say anything.”

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are returning to the UK next week for a series of charity events. They will also travel to Germany to kick off next year’s Invictus Games in Dusseldorf.

“Meghan and Prince Harry are delighted to visit various charities in early September,” a spokesperson for the couple said. But it remains unclear whether the couple will see members of the royal family during the visit.
