Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have reportedly “reached out” to the Princess of Wales amid her ongoing cancer battle.
According to an insider, the Sussexes want to let bygones be bygones and repair their frosty relationship with the royal family.
“All they can do is continue to reach out and offer olive branches,” a source told Closer magazine.
“Despite all their bad blood, [Meghan’s] heart does go out to Kate – she can only imagine how hard this situation must be for her.”
The revelation comes amid claims that the Duke of Sussex is reportedly “homesick” and searching for a new residence in the UK.
Harry last visited the UK alone in May on a visit that saw him celebrate the 10th anniversary of his Invictus Games.
He stayed in a London hotel on the visit after he and Meghan Markle officially vacated their UK residence, Frogmore Cottage, last June.
Royal expert Kinsey Schofield told Fox News Digitial: “I hear that Harry is both content with his new lifestyle and homesick.”

Prince William’s early birthday present
The heir to the throne is in Germany this afternoon to cheer on the England squad as they take on Denmark in their second game of the Euros.
It is also coincidentally Prince William’s 42nd birthday tomorrow, and as the president of the FA, he will almost certainly see a victory as an early present.
William met with the team ahead of the 2024 Euros starting, joking that Prince Louis had advised them to “eat double portions” as they make their bid for victory.

New documentary explores Kate Middleton and King Charles’s close relationship
The relationship between King Charles and the Princess of Wales is set to be explored in a new Channel 5 documentary airing this weekend.
Kate: A Queen for the Future will air at 9:20 pm on Saturday (22 June) and examine the close bond between the pair, which appears to have grown during their respective cancer battles.
Royal expert Richard Kay recounts in the documentary how they were treated by the same London Harley Street clinic earlier this year.
“The King actually made a point of going to see Kate and there’s this rather touching story of [Charles] in his dressing gown padding down to his daughter-in-law’s floor,” he recalls, as reported by the Daily Mail.
“They compared notes about the rather good hospital food, how their treatment was going. It was a moment of great affection.”

Harry and Meghan slammed for failing to wish King Charles happy birthday
A royal commentator has slammed Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for failing to acknowledge King Charles’s official birthday.
The couple also failed to acknowledge the Monarch on Father’s Day.
Royal commentator Kinsey Schofield aimed Meghan, in particular, for launching two new products from her lifestyle brand, raspberry jam and dog biscuits, the day before Trooping the Colour.
This was coincidentally the day the Princess of Wales announced her intention to make her first public appearance of the year.
“Whether this was coincidental or not, they [Harry and Meghan] could have ended the negative headlines or talk of how inappropriate and catty this looks by wishing the King a happy birthday,” Schofield said on Heirs & Spares.

Prince Louis’s hilarious advice to the England Squad
On a meeting with the team before they made their way to Germany, he explained that Prince Louis had suggested they “eat twice the amount” as they make their bid for victory.
He told the players: “I was on the school run this morning with the children and I said ‘What shall I say to the England team today?’
“The best bit of advice I got to ask you was to eat twice the amount you normally would eat.
“So I then had visions of all of you running around with massive great tummies and loads of stitches on the pitch so I think maybe take my youngest’s advice with a pinch of salt.”

Kate Middleton ‘frequently turns’ to royal ‘secret weapon’
As the Princess of Wales continues to battle cancer, an expert has claimed that she is being supported in her journey by a royal “secret weapon”.
Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond said: “Even though a 17-year age gap seems a lot to bridge, the two women have a lot in common and became firm friends quite early on. Sophie knew exactly what lay in wait for Catherine as she joined the family and she knew it wouldn’t always be easy.
“By nature, Sophie is a kind and generous person who has always been happy to act as [a] sounding board, mentor, confidante… or sometimes just another girl to share a giggle with.
As reported by the Mirror, Bond added: “I have no doubt that Sophie has been someone to whom Catherine has frequently turned. They’ve often been seen enjoying a private joke in public and certainly seem more like sisters than aunt and niece by marriage.”

Prince Harry suffers ‘humiliation after humiliation’ amid rift with family
Prince Harry has suffered “humiliation after humiliation” in recent weeks as a result of his frosty relationship with his immediate family, an expert has claimed.
The first so-called humiliation came on his recent trip to the UK when King Charles declined the opportunity to see him for the first time in months, citing his busy schedule.
Harry was then rejected by his friend Hugh Grosvenor, who left him off the invite to the “society wedding of the year” but had Prince William serve as an usher.
Most recently, Harry was rejected when he reportedly failed to receive an invite to the King’s official birthday parade, the Trooping the Colour.
Royal expert Emily Andrews wrote in Woman magazine: “It has been humiliation after humiliation for Prince Harry.
“Harry has broken so many bonds of trust with so many people, it is difficult to see him ever attending a society wedding or Trooping the Colour again.”
