Meghan Markle 'pulling the strings' in Harry and King Charles's 'ultimate game plan'

Prince Harry’s much-publicized “peace talks” with King Charles may not be entirely what they seem, with royal commentators suggesting Meghan Markle is playing a key role behind the scenes, and that reconciliation could be part of her ultimate “game plan.”

Last week’s meeting between senior aides of Harry and King Charles, dubbed a “peace summit,” sparked hope that father and son could soon repair their fractured relationship. 

The Duke of Sussex is expected back in the UK this September for the WellChild Awards, which many now see as a potential opportunity for a face-to-face reunion with his father, possibly their first in over a year.

But royal experts are questioning how Meghan’s influence might shape this reconciliation.

Former Times royal correspondent Valentine Low said: “If they reconcile and the relationship with the royal family becomes one of warmth."

"It will only do Meghan’s reputation something good and help her expand brand Meghan,” he told The Sun.

Broadcaster Sarah Hewson went further, suggesting: “Meghan is someone with a game plan. Nothing happens by accident and I think Harry relies on Meghan for a lot of guidance through life.”

"Meghan’s got her own plans and business. What is Harry’s? He does look lost and isolated by himself in Montecito. His father’s health is certainly a big wake-up call.”

“For these talks to happen, Harry will need to speak to his father one-on-one. This will be really important as there is a big trust issue.”
