Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly set to hold another meeting with King Charles before Christmas, as the monarch plans the encounter while the family deals with ongoing divides and moves back to the United Kingdom.
Sources close to the situation point out that any audience with the monarch is carefully arranged rather than coincidental.
This is not a casual ‘let’s get together sometime.’ Nobody drops in on the King. If Harry and Meghan are in Charles’s diary, it is because he wants them there.

King Charles Plans Christmas Meeting After Highgrove Visit
The planned gathering follows a private family reunion in July, where the couple and their children—Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet—visited King Charles and Queen Camilla at Highgrove House. That summer meeting marked the first time the King had seen his grandchildren in over four years, and the first time Meghan Markle had shared a room with the monarch since 2022.
While the reigning monarch appears open to bridging the gap, relations with the wider royal household remain deeply fractured. Sources report that Prince Harry has made multiple attempts to reach out to his brother, Prince William, but has encountered a firm wall of silence.
There is no meaningful communication with William or Catherine. Charles is willing to move forward.

Away from the royal friction, family life in the U.K. has also intersected with the expansion of Meghan Markle’s lifestyle brand, As Ever. In a video montage posted to Instagram documenting the brand’s evolution—including the canning process for her jam, handwritten notes for the brand, and the unveiling of her first-ever Christmas hampers for the 2026 season—the Duchess shared a sweet home video snippet featuring 5-year-old Princess Lilibet holding a wooden spoon and a sampler of raspberry jam from a bubbling pot to try in her own big bowl.

The young princess is also seen briefly during another part of the video watching on as the 45-year-old Suits alum tends to her beehive in preparation for making honey at home, with Lilibet far away dressed in her own protective suit and watching near a tree. The Duchess expressed gratitude to her supporters on social media, writing a message to thank everyone for helping bring this vision to life and concluding with a huge thanks to her team while stating she is so proud of what they are creating together. The brand’s Christmas collection also features an advent calendar and a hostess basket with signature fruit spread and flower sprinkles.
