Following reports of renewed contact with King Charles, royal commentators are asking the same question: what happens next? Some believe Harry and Meghan now face a pivotal moment, arguing that one key decision could determine whether any lasting reconciliation is possible—or whether the rift becomes impossible to repair. It’s an opinion that’s already sparking fierce debate among royal watchers.

King Charles was reunited with his two youngest grandchildren today in what was likely a long-awaited moment for the doting grandfather. With the Duke and Duchess of Sussex currently in the UK with their two children, it’s a sentence many never expected to read this year.

Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet have not spent time with the King since 2022, with four years probably feeling like a lifetime for the two little royals. It was recently reported that Archie and Lilibet were “excited” at the prospect of seeing the King this week, although they, according to a source close to the Sussexes, had “no concept” of the magnitude of their grandparents’s royal status.

The visit almost didn’t take place, with Meghan and their children having only joined Harry a few hours ago.

Very little details have been provided about the visit, and, in my opinion, it should stay that way.

The private meeting was held and the only people who should know what happened inside Highgrove House today are those in attendance – the Sussexes and the King and Queen.

Harry and Meghan have both never been shy when speaking out about their annoyances when it comes to royal life, but this is one moment they must keep away from the media and the public – especially for the sake of Archie and Lilibet.

One thing is evident – the King still has a longing desire to show up for his youngest son and his family – even after the Netflix show, bombshell memoir and Harry’s slip of the tongue comment about his father’s health in an interview following a visit last May.

The meeting proves Charles still wants them in his life and, hopefully, visits like today will become a regular date in the diary.

Archie and Lilibet deserve to get to know their royal relatives, especially their grandfather. If Harry and Meghan decide to keep details to themselves, the ongoing feud with the royals may be one step closer to being resolved.

If not, the couple’s chance to end the feud could be over forever – with no resolution on the horizon.
