King Charles III reportedly extended an olive branch to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle after years of estrangement and strain.
The monarch, 77, has invited his son and daughter-in-law to stay at a royal residence when they make their return to the UK next month, according to the Sun.
The outlet further claimed that Charles also offered the Sussexes ā who will bring their children, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, with them ā security arrangements following Harryās battle for taxpayer-funded protection.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex wereĀ stripped of their security privileges afterĀ stepping down from their royal dutiesĀ andĀ moving to the USĀ in 2020, leading to ongoing tension with his family.
Harry, 41, previously stated thatĀ he did not āfeel safeāĀ in the UK because his family had allegedly ābeen subjected to well-documented neo-Nazi and extremist threats.ā Markle, notably, is biracial.
āMegxit,ā as it came to be called, left a bad taste in the royal familyās mouths, as did the coupleāsĀ infamous interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021, followed by the princeās 2023 tell-all book, āSpare.ā
However, after HarryĀ met with his dad in his London home for āprivate teaā last September, the dukeĀ admitted he wanted to spend more time in his native EnglandĀ and bring his wife and kids with him.
The foursome will travel from California across the pond in the second week of July for a series of events ahead of the annual Invictus Games.
The reported ānew conditionsā ahead ofĀ the visit mean that āa safe returnā can take place.
āThere is a hope they will both be able to find time in their schedules to catch up when Harry is in the UK,ā a source told the Sun, claiming that the father-son duo āspeak regularly.ā
Archie and Lili have not been to the UK since June 2022, while Markleās last visit was three months later for Queen Elizabeth IIās funeral.
Itās unclear whether the former actress, 44, and her father-in-law will interact during the upcoming trip.
Reps for both Charles and the Sussexes did not immediately respond to Page Sixās requests for comment.
