The commentary follows Jennie’s appearance on Times Radio, where she unpacked the evolution of the royal rift.

“Early on it was Harry, who was demanding an apology. There was going to be no meeting of minds or meeting in reality until there was an apology for the affronts he thought had been made to his wife,” she told listeners, adding, “But now I think the tables have turned somewhat.

“Messages coming from Harry’s side are that he’s ready at least to forgive and that he loves his family. He’s said that quite publicly. He wants to see more of them. But it is Charles and William who seem to be resisting reconciliation at this point so I think it was first one, then the other.”

Although the couple’s New Year’s plans are uncertain, they will likely have a delightful Christmas with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet – possibly outside the UK.

According to Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams, the “huge rift” between Harry, Meghan, and the rest of the Royal family makes it “likely” they won’t receive an invitation from King Charles for future festive gatherings.

Richard told the Express: “Harry and Meghan spent Christmas at Sandringham in 2017, when they were engaged and Meghan was the first fiancée to receive an invitation, and were also there in 2018.”

The couple is reportedly skipping the Royal family’s Christmas celebrations this year due to the ongoing rift. Richard noted that while Harry and Meghan have fond memories of past Christmases with the royals, their other shared memories are less pleasant.

He stated, “Unfortunately these are not the only memories they have shared of the Royal Family, and the only sensible thing whilst a rift exists, and it is huge, is not to ask them, which is what has happened this year and what is likely to happen in the foreseeable future.”
