Sussex Royal Exile in Full Effect: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Have 'No Room' for 'Reconciliation' With Monarchy as Trust Shattered

For those still hoping that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could somehow work out their grievances with the British royal family, those wishes will likely never be granted.

"There is no room for any reconciliation now," former royal butler to Diana, Princess of Wales, Paul Burrell, said on behalf of Slingo. "The royal family just doesn't trust Harry."

"He's worn away all the trust that they had in him," he added. "They can't invite him back into the fold because they know that when he gets back to America, he'll tell Meghan everything, and then the rest of the world will know exactly what's happening. William doesn't trust him and won’t let his brother back into his life. I think Harry is very sad about the situation, but he’s done it to himself."

Although Harry is allegedly still on speaking terms via phone with King Charles III, when it comes to regaining trust with Prince William and Kate, Princess of Wales, the ex-working royal may want to move on.

"The problem for the King and other members of the family is the worry that if they have a chat with Harry, it will appear in Spare volume two," a source spilled.

"How do you regain the trust?" they asked. "I don’t think Harry ever can. But from the conversations I’ve had with the King, I would never say their relationship is irreparable. The King’s capacity to forgive his son is undimmed. There are other members of the royal family who are much more weighted against Harry, that’s the problem."

When asked if there was a level of revenge at play when Charles III booted the Sussex family from Frogmore Cottage in June 2023, they replied, "The evidence is there, clearly, for everyone to see. He has been kicked out of the home that would have made it possible for him to come back on a regular basis."

This insight comes as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's year is busy with new Netflix projects, the Duchess' brand launch, film premieres, numerous visits and two "faux royal tours" under their belts. But amid the busy Sussex schedule, British royal courtiers are said to find the couple's constant output to be chaotic.

"Buckingham Palace would prefer that Harry and Meghan retire into quiet obscurity, but that is not going to happen," royal editor Tom Sykes dished. "They are private citizens, so they cannot be banned from going or not going anywhere."

Although some analysts feel Harry's assistance to William would be "brotherly," others think the Prince of Wales' chaotic year in comparison doesn't have the next king wishing for a sibling reunion. The now cancer-free Princess of Wales' former preventative chemotherapy treatments and the King's ongoing cancer battle with the disease has "stressed" the monarch-in-waiting "to the max."
