Robert Jobson says Harry and Meghan are making a 'mockery' of the Royal Family

has one condition that must be met before she decides to reconcile with the Royal Family, despite being aware that is desperate to work on the relationship.

A royal expert told The Mirror that even though Harry would be keen for a family reunion, Meghan still holds a grievance against those she believes made things more difficult for her when they were working royals.

Royal author Tom Quinn said: "Harry would like a reconciliation, but supports his wife completely and until she feels that the Royal Family have been sufficiently nice to her - and grovelling apologised for the past - it's not going to happen.

"There has been a shift here since Kate's illness. Harry and Meghan do feel they need to extend an olive branch, but Meghan's sense of grievance is still preventing anything really meaningful happening.

"Illness often brings warring family members together, and there have been hopes at Kensington Palace that Kate's illness might do it."

There has been speculation that King Charles may invite his estranged son and daughter-in-law to Balmoral this summer, giving them a chance to reunite with Prince William, Princess Kate and the Wales children.

However the Duchess of Sussex has doubts about bringing her young family to the UK, as she fears for Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet's safety.

Mr Quinn added: "There is no way Meghan would bring the children to the UK. William and Kate have suggested that Meghan and Harry bring the children and that the two couples and their families try to makeup, but the suggestion is not leading anywhere so far."

An insider has told New magazine: "It's now got to the point where Meghan doesn't want to come to the UK with the children. She just doesn't feel safe.

"The situation is now about whether the family should attend with increased security or Harry should go it alone.

"Harry doesn't want to keep making solo trips to the UK. He would prefer it if the entire family made regular visits to see his family and build bridges, but there is so much going on behind the scenes that it just isn't possible at the moment.

"Both Harry and Meghan were planning to come to the UK, but when the exact time and date of their appearance [at the Invictus ceremony] were made public, she started to rethink that idea."

Harry is tipped to be returning to the UK soon for a service at St Paul's Cathedral to celebrate 10 years of the Invictus Games, but it has not been confirmed whether Meghan or the children will join him.

The service will be held on May 8, two days after Archie's fifth birthday, an event which last year led Meghan to decline her invite to the Coronation.

The Prince therefore made a solo appearance during the ceremony at Westminster Abbey on May 6, jetting back to Los Angeles as soon as the service had wrapped.
