King Charles and Royal Family Members May Feels Sorry for Meghan Markle but Keeps Palace Doors Shut
King Charles and other members of the Royal Family may feel sympathy for Meghan Markle amid difficult circumstances but keeps palace doors shuts, as they are not preparing to welcome the Duchess back, according to a royal commentator.
The latest remarks come as Meghan faces renewed public attention, with her family circumstances becoming a subject of discussion.
Royal expert Marlene Koenig believes members of the Royal Family may understand that the situation is difficult for the Duchess, but any sympathy should not be mistaken for a change in their position towards the Sussexes.
Speaking to the Daily Express, Koenig said there could be some compassion for Meghan within the Royal Family, while stressing that it would not automatically lead to reconciliation.
“There may be some sympathy for Meghan within the Royal Family, but that does not mean doors will open for either of them,” she said.
The commentator also argued that the family circumstances do not resolve the wider tensions involving Prince Harry and his relatives.
“Learning that Meghan’s father is an alleged paedophile does not ameliorate the tensions and issues that face [Prince Harry and Prince William],” Koenig added.
Her comments suggest that any personal sympathy towards Meghan would remain separate from the ongoing difficulties between Harry and the Royal Family.
The Duchess and Harry have experienced a strained relationship with several senior royals since stepping back from their roles as working members of the monarchy in 2020.
Relations between Harry and his elder brother, Prince William, have also remained a subject of public attention, with no confirmed plans for formal peace talks.
Koenig believes there is currently little prospect of discussions between the two brothers leading to a reconciliation. She said William would remain focused on his responsibilities as heir to the throne and his immediate family.
“William will continue to do his thing as heir to the throne and support his wife, children, and his father, the King,” the expert said.
The comments underline the distinction between possible private sympathy for Meghan and the wider family issues that continue to affect relations between the Sussexes and the Royal Family.
For now, there has been no official announcement of any reconciliation plans involving Harry, William or the wider family.
