Meghan Markle And Prince Harry Offer ‘Olive Branch’ To Kate Middleton And Prince Harry: Here’s What Happened!
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry recently returned from England. The Duchess of Sussex, Duke of Sussex, their son Archie, and daughter Lilibet had traveled from their home in California to the UK to participate in Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee. But the four-day event didn’t go exactly as Meghan and Harry had hoped.
Find out about the peace offering that Markle and her husband tried to extend to Kate Middleton and Prince William. And see what went wrong. Get the latest news about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry below.
Meghan Markle And Prince Harry Want Royal Family Peace
The Duchess of Sussex and Duke of Sussex created a very specific agenda before they visited the UK for Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations. And that agenda included offering an olive branch to Kate Middleton and Prince William. Meghan and Harry even included their children and his brother’s children in their scheme, insiders told Page Six.
Hoping to mend the rift between Harry and William, the Sussex family decided to arrange a birthday party for their daughter Lilibet. And their guest list included the Duke of Cambridge, the Duchess of Cambridge, and all their children. Meghan and Harry had hoped that mingling their children in a party atmosphere would serve as an olive branch to William.
And Prince Harry and Meghan Markle did hold Lilibet’s first birthday party. But William and Kate did not attend. The Sussex family celebrated the little girl’s birthday at their UK home, Frogmore Cottage, in Windsor. And at the same time, the Cambridge clan headed off to Wales. As a result, that olive branch seemingly got rejected.
Olive Branch Gesture Ends In Disappointment
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry had envisioned their son Archie, age 3, and daughter Lili, age 1, finally meeting their cousins George, Louis, and Charlotte. But Kate and William took two of their children, 8-year-old Prince George and 7-year-old Princess Charlotte, with them to Wales. As a result, Harry and Meghan along with their children did not achieve any private time with William, Kate, and their three kids.
As for why William seemed to avoid meeting with Harry and his family? A royal family insider offered some speculation. “Things are still fraught,” summed up the source. For instance, the Duke of Cambridge worries that whatever he tells his brother could end up in the media. As a result, “William is still wary of spending any time alone with Harry as you never quite know what may be reported back afterwards,” added the source. And so the disappointed Duke of Sussex, Duchess of Sussex, and their children exited the UK even before the People’s Pageant began to fly home to California.

This is a silly story. William and Kate had a previously arranged schedule to appear in Wales for Jubilee festivities. This is their job. It comes before a birthday party. The weekend was a very busy one–not the best time for a children’s party. I don’t think there is a story here.
Yes, I agree with .Susan D, there is no story there, Prince William and Catherine are ‘Working Royal’s” and as such had an engagement to keep to. It is a shame that Prince Harry hadn’t managed to find that out before he laid on the party for the children.
No I think they did the write thing. Harry & Megans inter view with Oprah was a terrible mistake & also remember they had a photographer at the party so would photos have been leaked to the press once they got home. I read they tried to get him in when the Queen met them but she put a stop to it & very glad she did !!
How dreadful that Wills and Kate could not join in with celebrations for Lillibet’s birthday and sad that their children should lose out on meeting their cousins.Shame on you Wills and Kate
Having been very economical with the truth in their Oprah interview, I personally cannot understand how both Prince Harry and his wife can think they would be welcomed in the United Kingdom with open arms. On the contrary, with the wonderful outpouring of love and gratitude to our fantastic Queen Elizabeth for her long life of SERVICE to us all, it was no surprise to me or my friends, that Prince Harry and his wife were the object of being B’ooood…….they deserved it..
Such drivel! You know very well that the Cambridge’s were on official royal duties. They wouldn’t affront and insult the Queen by shirking their responsibilities and disappoint the thousands of well wishes waiting for them in Wales. That would have been horrible! And for what? To please selfish, self centred delusional Meg and Harry. Stop trying to twist reality with your fake news.
