Meghan Markle has reportedly joined Prince Harry in a bid to make peace with King Charles
Harry is said to believe William has worked to distance him from the royal family
Kensington Palace has confirmed that Prince William held a series of significant meetings at Windsor Castle, as fresh claims emerged that Meghan Markle has joined her husband Prince Harry in an effort to repair relations with King Charles.
According to a report by the National Examiner, the Duchess of Sussex and the Duke are said to be united in a mission to broker peace with the King, building on Harry's existing efforts. The Duke is reportedly pleased by his wife's shift in position on the matter.
Gift basket and olive branch
Meghan has reportedly also put together a "huge gift basket" for her father-in-law King Charles and Queen Camilla, accompanied by a personal message, as a gesture of goodwill.
The couple are said to have stepped up their reconciliation efforts in the knowledge that William is unlikely to extend the same leniency once he assumes the throne.
William's Windsor engagements
Amid these reports, on Monday, 8 June, the Prince of Wales and Duke of Cornwall chaired a meeting of the Prince's Council at Windsor Castle. William, who also serves as President of United for Wildlife, held a further meeting at Windsor Castle later that afternoon.
Harry's concerns over William
Separately, sources close to the Duke of Sussex have claimed that Harry believes his relationship with his elder brother has deteriorated to a new low. Insiders allege that Harry feels William has been working behind the scenes to widen the distance between him and other members of the royal family. The source claimed Harry believes William has played a significant role in deepening the divide between him and his relatives over the years.
