King Charles has hinted at a potential reconciliation with his estranged son, Prince Harry, and daughter-in-law, Meghan Markle. A royal expert suggests the monarch's recent actions towards his brother, Prince Andrew, could serve as a template for reuniting with the Montecito couple.

A royal commentator revealed that King Charles, who has been quietly working to reintegrate Prince Andrew despite the latter's tarnished reputation due to his involvement with Jeffrey Epstein, might be sending subtle signals to Harry and Meghan about a possible reunion with the royal family.

Prince Andrew's controversies deeply impacted the monarchy, yet the King, now 75, has still included him in major royal events to present a united family image to the public.

Tom Sykes, a royal analyst, told The Daily Beast, “A close family friend of King Charles mentioned there’s been a clear willingness to bring Andrew back into the fold, which intriguingly could suggest a similar approach for Harry’s return."

Sykes added that King Charles' openness to publicly supporting Andrew caught many by surprise, highlighting the King’s desire for a united royal family despite its internal conflicts. "The King’s primary concern is the stability of the monarchy," Sykes explained. "It's hopeful that this message reaches Harry and Meghan."

For context, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle left the royal family in 2020, and have since been at odds with key members due to their public statements against the institution.
