Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have reportedly reached out to King Charles III with an appeal for reconciliation. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who stepped down from royal duties in 2020, are said to be open to a return to the UK “in a more family-centered role” but only if their demands for strong security guarantees are met.
Insiders say their concerns come from “past struggles with security arrangements,” which they considered inadequate after losing taxpayer-funded protection. This has fueled renewed debate over who should cover the costs if they rejoin royal life.
A viral quote allegedly shared by a confidant—“Dad, we’ve run out of money…”—sparked criticism from detractors questioning their financial motives, while supporters argue their safety is a valid concern.
Though Harry and Meghan have built a life in California with media deals, charity projects, and public appearances, recent business setbacks may have influenced their push for closer ties with the monarchy.
King Charles III has not publicly addressed the request, and palace insiders remain silent. For now, the key issue remains security—and whether their conditions will block any chance of a royal return.
