Prince and Meghan Markle are reminded that they cannot fix relationship with the Royals overnight.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who recently made a visit to the Highgrove House to make amends with King Charles, would need more than just an olive branch to win over the trust of the Royals.

An insider told RadarOnline: "There is no illusion on either side that Harry and Meghan can release a carefully worded statement and suddenly repair everything that has happened between them, Charles and the Royal Familyover the past five years. Too many deeply personal things have been said publicly, relationships have been fractured, and a huge amount of trust has disappeared. Rebuilding that is going to require much more than a single apology, and it certainly won't happen overnight.

"But publicly recognising the pain this dispute has caused would be an important gesture because it would show that Harry and Meghan understand the consequences of how far the feud has gone. It could also send Charles a clear signal that they are serious about ending this cycle of hostility and beginning a different kind of relationship with the family."
