‘Harry never wanted to be estranged but he was madly in love. Now the veil is lifting’: Inside plan to reverse Megxit as friends tell ALISON BOSHOFF about communication between Harry and William… and why the Sussexes’ American dream is over
Friends of Prince Harry have described plans to gradually reverse "Megxit" following a reconciliation meeting with King Charles and Queen Camilla at Highgrove last week, with the couple's Portuguese holiday home reportedly seen as a potential staging post for an eventual return to Britain. The visit, kept away from cameras and social media under agreed conditions, marked the first time Meghan and their children, Archie and Lilibet, had been in the UK since 2022, and represents a significant step in mending the rift caused by the couple's Netflix series, Harry's memoir Spare, and ongoing legal disputes with the Home Office.
Harry reportedly agreed "in a heartbeat" to strict terms for the tea meeting, including no briefings or photographs, and stuck to them despite reports that Meghan felt "humiliated" by public disputes over the family's security arrangements. Camilla, once branded "dangerous" by Harry, attended this time unlike a brief 2024 meeting, and Harry was said to appear "buoyed" afterwards, later taking part in a charity event in Warwickshire. Sources cited two unspecified key reasons behind the couple's reported reconsideration of their long-term future in America.
In short
- Harry's camp reportedly plans a gradual reversal of "Megxit"
- Portugal home seen as potential staging post for UK return
- Highgrove reconciliation meeting with Charles and Camilla went smoothly
Steelman: both sides, in good faith
The strongest fair case each way — we don't pick a winner.
The case for
The years-long estrangement has been painful for all parties, and the willingness both to meet and communicate privately demonstrates genuine commitment to healing. Family relationships have intrinsic value that transcends past disputes, and a measured path towards renewed connection—potentially including a return to Britain—offers the possibility of constructive resolution through dialogue rather than ongoing legal and public conflict. If life in America has proven less fulfilling than anticipated, reconnection with extended family and homeland represents a legitimate reassessment that should be supported.
The case against
The couple's original concerns about media intrusion, privacy, and institutional mistreatment remain substantively unresolved, and returning without evidence of fundamental change risks replicating the dysfunctional dynamics that necessitated their departure. Meaningful reconciliation requires addressing these root causes rather than simply restoring proximity, and a return driven primarily by American disappointment rather than genuine resolution could prove unsustainable and harmful. Their move represented a principled stand for autonomy and self-determination that should not be surrendered without clear evidence that the systemic problems have genuinely been addressed.
Explained simply
In 2020, Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle stepped back from their royal duties and moved to North America, a decision the couple dubbed "Megxit". They cited severe strain on their mental health and their relationship with sections of the British media, along with tensions within the wider royal family, as reasons for their departure.
Relations have remained strained in the years since, particularly following the couple's Netflix documentary series, Harry's memoir titled Spare, and various legal disputes with British authorities. These actions were seen by many in the royal family as public airings of private grievances, deepening the divide between the couple and the institution.
Recent reports suggest Prince Harry has been in communication with his brother William and has met with King Charles and Queen Camilla, raising the possibility that the family may be moving towards reconciliation. The couple are reportedly considering a future that could involve greater ties to the United Kingdom, marking a potential turning point in one of the most high-profile royal rifts in modern times.
