Meghan Markle Gives 2 'Non-Negotiable' Demands to End Rift With Prince William and Kate Middleton — But Will They Bow to 'Duchess Difficult?'

Meghan Markle has demands that must be met before the ex-actress would consider ending her and Prince Harry's feud with Catherine, Princess of Wales and Prince William.

This led royal scribe Tom Quinn to tell Daily Mirror, "Harry would like a reconciliation but supports his wife completely, and until she feels that the royal family have been sufficiently nice to her — and grovelingly apologized for the past — it's not going to happen."

Although Their Royal Highnesses could "almost certainly be nice" to the Montecito Duchess, analysts feel the apologizing part is "pure Hollywood fantasy."

Furthermore, the rebel Montecito-based Duke is said to want the apology to be "groveling," almost to the point of bowing.

"He wants to reconcile with his brother so that the children can have some kind of a relationship," royal author Tom Quinn added about the Duke of Sussex specifically. "But he and Meghan still think that a groveling apology needs to come from William and Kate first."

"Harry has spoken to friends about his sadness at not having a closer relationship with his niece and nephews, but what is upsetting him, even more, is the prospect of Lilibet and Archie having no relationship at all with George, Charlotte and Louis," the author continued.

Quinn further observed, "He has implied that if he gets an apology from his family then he is prepared to forgive, but that just isn't going to happen. Despite all his criticisms, Harry always assumed he would be forgiven by his father... He thought Charles would make amends for the hurt that — in Harry's view — justified the criticisms."

Some insiders and experts feel that both His Majesty and the heir to the throne could be open to reconciliation if for any other reason than to help solve a "shrinking senior royal" issue.

This led a palace insider to add, "Charles and William may be open to reconciliation, if for no other reason than to have two more people for official duties, especially in places no one else wants to go. But Harry and Meghan are definitely going to have to apologize. This rift won’t heal overnight. And at this point, they need the royals more than the royals need them."

This follows reports from July that suggested Harry will leave his Duchess one day for a permanent return home to the United Kingdom. Veteran royal author and historian Hugo Vickers told royal editor Matt Wilkinson on "The Sun's Royal Exclusive" podcast early that month that the rebel Duke is currently overflowing with "anger" and an intense fear of losing his Duchess, but this "dysfunction" cannot continue much longer.
