When it comes to Meghan, Charles is said to be conflicted but not unsympathetic. Insiders claim the king understands her hesitation about bringing the children to the U.K., yet believes the distance has gone on for far too long.

“Charles feels both sides need to meet halfway,” the source explained. “He accepts Meghan has her reasons, but he also thinks the estrangement from his grandchildren can’t continue indefinitely.”

Another insider added that while Charles and Harry aren’t in constant contact, they do communicate—and the king has reportedly encouraged his son to take a more active role in facilitating a family reunion.

“If Meghan truly wanted a reconciliation, it would have happened by now,” the source claimed.

Despite the tension, sources insist Charles still holds affection for Meghan and believes she has endured genuine hardships, including family struggles of her own. He reportedly hopes Harry and Meghan can recognize that empathy and goodwill still matter.

However, with Princess Anne, Prince William, and Queen Camilla all said to be firmly opposed, it appears the king may be increasingly isolated in his desire for peace.

As 2026 approaches, the question remains: will King Charles follow his heart—or the warnings of his closest family members?
