Royal expert suggests King Charles III may have sent a "hidden message" indicating a door open for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's potential return to Royal duties. Since their high-profile departure from 'The Firm' in 2020, the couple's relations with the monarchy have soured, says the Express.

This decline was enflamed by their Netflix documentary and Prince Harry's controversial memoir, 'Spare'. But a monarch's confidante hinted last year at a possible thaw due to Charles offering a olive branch to his scandal-ridden sibling, Prince Andrew.

Commentator Tom Sykes remarked on his podcast The Daily Beast: "A family friend of the King's [has said] that it was clear there had been a willingness to bring Andrew in from the cold, and, intriguingly, hinted that it could be a template for future reconciliation with his son.

"The extent to which the King has publicly made it clear Andrew is still part of the family has caught some people by surprise.

"But ultimately, he has the interests of the monarchy at heart, and that means a united family, whatever its problems. Hopefully that message is getting through to Harry and Meghan."

Recent reports suggest that Prince Charles is eager for a family reconciliation, and despite the King leaving him without a UK residence, Prince Harry is keen to visit his homeland more frequently, reports the Daily Record.
