Royal Family Could Temporarily Reconcile With Prince Harry, Meghan Markle For King Charles' Coronation: Expert

The royal family might reconcile with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to avoid drama on King Charles' coronation, according to a royal expert.

The royal family could bury the hatchet with the Sussexes for the sake of King Charles' coronation. British journalist and royal commentator Jonathan Sacerdoti even believed that there were already reconciliation efforts from the royals.

"I suspect that there are some efforts going on to try and make some form of reconciliation ... I think because they don't want [family tensions] to upstage what's going on on that very important day," he told Us Weekly.

Vanity Fair royal editor and correspondent Katie Nicholl echoed the same sentiment. She previously told Entertainment Tonight that the palace would invite the Sussexes to the coronation.

"My sources close to the King say that he will be extending that olive branch and that he will be inviting Meghan and Harry to the coronation," the "New Royals" author told ET.

However, Sacerdoti believed it would be a temporary truce due to the damage done by Prince Harry's memoir "Spare." He believed it wouldn't be easy for his family and the British public to forgive him after he attacked the institution.

"Whether or not that's possible is one thing, and whether or not it's lasting is another thing. Even if they do manage to make some form of peace, [it] might be temporary. I think it's going to be extremely difficult for them as a family — and more broadly, for the nation and for the Institution — to forgive what's happened," he continued.

Sacerdoti acknowledged that Prince Harry wanted an apology. However, many do not agree with that. According to him, many, including King Charles, Queen Elizabeth and Prince William, came out badly in the book, and the royals might still be "feeling very sore" from the Duke of Sussex's criticism. The palace hasn't issued any statement about Prince Harry's book.

"But above all else, I think they might also be feeling that they just want to keep quiet because they don't wanna provoke any more of this sort of thing, which is damaging not just to them emotionally and personally, but to the nation because this is an attack effectively on part of the Constitution of Great Britain," Sacerdoti added.

International Business Times could not independently verify the claim.

In Prince Harry's memoir, he accused Prince William of screaming at him during a meeting and physically attacking him when they argued over his wife. He also claimed that King Charles leaked stories to the press and was dreading Markle for allegedly taking the spotlight from him.

"Pa might have dreaded the rising cost of maintaining us, but what he really couldn't stomach was someone new dominating the monarchy, grabbing the limelight, someone shiny and new coming in and overshadowing him. He'd lived through that before, and had no interest in living through it again," Prince Harry wrote, alluding to the time when His Majesty was still with his late wife, Princess Diana.
