King Charles wants to see Archie, Lilibet; likely to invite Prince Harry, Meghan Markle to Balmoral this summer

Since the news of King Charles battling cancer, there have been speculations about reconciliation in the royal family. Now, a report by Page Six has stated that the King is likely to consider inviting Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to Balmoral Castle this summer as he is ‘desperate’ to meet his grandkids Archie and Lilibet. 

Every year, the monarch enjoys retiring to the Scottish countryside with family members, including the Prince and Princess of Wales. This year is likely to be different.

A royal insider has told Page Six, “I can see Charles desperately wanting to see the children and extending this olive branch to Meghan and Harry. He may decide that life is just too short."

The insider further explained why Barmoral could be an excellent location to resolve the royal rift. He added, “Balmoral is truly the perfect, restful place for a reunion. If he does issue an invite, then Harry and Meghan should surely agree to the visit."

Archie and Lilibet, the grandchildren of King Charles, have not spent much time with the Royal family. Archie was born on May 6, 2019. Soon after that, on January 8, 2020, Harry and Meghan announced their controversial decision to step back from their royal duties, commonly referred to as ‘Megxit’, and settle in the US.
