King Charles has reportedly extended an olive branch to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle by inviting them to stay at a royal residence if one condition is met

King Charles has reportedly extended an invitation to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, offering them a place to stay upon their return to the UK.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have not visited the UK together for several years. Although Harry, 41, has made multiple trips back to his homeland, Meghan, 44, has not returned since September 2022 when she attended the funeral of the late Queen Elizabeth.

Their absence from the UK follows their decision to step down as working members of the Royal family in 2020. Since then, they’ve been embroiled in a contentious feud with the royals, which escalated after revelations about Meghan’s alleged role in Harry’s estrangement from his family.Manwhile, Andrew faces eviction from his former-home, the Royal Lodge “in weeks.”

However, it appears that there may be a thawing of tensions, with sources suggesting that King Charles has invited Harry and Meghan to reside at a Royal property should they visit the UK in the coming months.

It is thought that the 77 year old monarch has offered his son and daughter-in-law accommodation at Highgrove House, a private country retreat in Gloucestershire, during their visit.

Speculation is rife that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex may return to the UK together for an Invictus Games event in Birmingham this July.

The event will mark a one-year countdown to the games, a cause close to Harry’s heart, designed to support injured soldiers and veterans.

“There’s a good chance that they will stay at a royal residence during a U.K. stay that includes Invictus events if the current thaw in family relations continues,” a source revealed to the Daily Mail.

The Express US has sought comment from representatives of King Charles.

Amidst speculation that Meghan may accompany her husband to the UK, Harry’s spokesperson has stepped forward to clarify matters.

Addressing the rumours of Meghan’s imminent return to the UK, the spokesperson dismissed them as “pure speculation.”

Royal commentator Tom Sykes shared in a Substack post: “I reported late last night that the Duchess of Sussex was planning a return to the United Kingdom as soon as this summer.”

Sykes also cited a source who speculated about Meghan’s potential return: “I think she would come back with him and the children. They love to do stuff as a family whenever they can, and when they do things philanthropically, they often take the kids along privately. I can’t see a reason why he’d come over with the kids without her.”

He added: “A spokesperson for Prince Harry told me the report was ‘pure speculation.’”
