Meghan Markle and her husband had a complicated year, and King Charles III has decided not to simplify their situation.
Career-wise, Markle took a devastating hit when her company, American Riviera Orchard, was more or less shut down before it even opened.
Prince Harry found himself seeking new adventures as a man and philanthropist.
The Duke of Sussex‘s longing for his family is a poignant reminder that, despite his damaging revelations about King Charles, Prince William, and Kate Middleton, he is now experiencing the universal need for familial connection.
Prince Harry has contacted his father multiple times, hoping for a positive response.
When King Charles declined to answer or accept his request for meetings, Prince Harry purchased a mansion in Portugal to establish a presence in Europe.
However, more importantly, the home in Portugal implied that Prince Harry could be closer to his cancer-stricken father in London.
The news of Prince Harry’s multi-million dollar purchase leaked while King Charles and Queen Camilla were on a royal tour in Australia.
When royal staff members were asked about Prince Harry’s decision to try to have a home and possibly be in contact with His Majesty, they responded with a brutal and hard truth.
Talking to The Sun, royal expert Hugo Vickers said that King Charles has one message for his youngest son — he is too busy for him and should, therefore, sort out the situation on his own.
The royal commentator revealed: “He’s got all the things that kings have to do, and I suspect the message we’re getting is that Harry just needs to sort himself out.”
He also explained that King Charles would only give Prince Harry the light of day if he decided to return to the monarchy he abandoned and stained.
The royal expert stated: “King is not going to waste much time concerning himself with his issues, but he left the door wide open if Harry wanted to return to the royal fold.”
Indeed, sources have always claimed via The Daily Beast and The Daily Mail that King Charles has left the door open to receive his son and his apology. That is the only way he can truly make peace with The Sovereign and return to the the kingdom.
The lack of mention of King Charles accepting Meghan Markle back into the Royal Family further complicates the couple’s already thorny situation.
The California royals will need a new plan.
