Prince Harry and Meghan Markle
may be returning to California in “turmoil,” a close friend has revealed,
without striking a “peace deal” with the royal family.
“CBS Mornings” co-host Gayle
King, who is Meghan’s friend, said the relationship between the Sussexes and the
royal family is still tenuous — largely due to the couple’s bombshell
interview with Oprah in 2021 after they made the decision to step down
from their royal duties.
King — who became friends with
Meghan after being introduced by Oprah — was in London reporting on Queen
Elizabeth’s historic funeral, revealing to “Extra” that there have been efforts
on “both sides to, sort of, make this right. We shall see.”
“Big families always go
through drama, always go through turmoil,” she said in the “Extra” interview.
“It remains to be seen — are they going to be drawn closer together or are they
going to be drawn apart?
“I have no idea,” she added.
“I have no inside information on that.”
According to the Daily Mail,
the pair are returning to the US empty-handed, “without a peace deal being
struck.”
However, King noted the effort
was visible when William and Harry made several appearances together alongside their
father King Charles III, as the family mourns the death of Queen Elizabeth.
“I will tell you this: It was
good to see Harry standing with his family,” she said.
Although it was hoped the
tragedy may pave the way for a reunion, royal experts have said the
tension between the brothers and their wives, Kate Middleton and Markle,
remains — despite presenting a united front at several events.
