Prince Harry believes “he’s getting very close” to convincing King Charles to let him and Meghan Markle return as part-time working royals.

Prince Harry has reportedly left his wife Meghan Markle concerned regarding the future amid his plans of reconciliation with the royal family.

The Woman’s Day recently reported Archie and Lilibet doting father has started revisiting the idea of a part-time royal role for himself and Meghan, and he believes there may still be a path back into the fold under King Charles.

However, it has apparently left Meghan concerned because she has very different plans for her future in California.

The insiders told the publication, Prince Harry believes “he’s getting very close” to convincing King Charles to let him and Meghan Markle return as part-time working royals.

“He genuinely believes there’s a role for them both,” the close confidant said and added that Harry feels now it may be the right moment to revisit those conversations while “Charles is still able to make those calls.”

Moreover, the insider said Harry no longer wants to handle reconciliation efforts alone.

“The problem is Harry can’t keep doing this solo,” the insider explained. “For it to really work, it needs to feel like a united front.”

“Yes, they’ve taken an American detour, but he doesn’t see why that needs to stand in their way.”

Meghan does not feel the same way, the insider said and continued she has already created a new plan for her life that she wants to follow.

The source claimed, “She’s not ready to scrap it all and go back to be the face of the royal family,” “They’re very much at odds in this, and neither seems ready to budge.”
