According to Meghan’s US chat show host friend Gayle King, who traveled to the UK to cover the funeral for CBS, no peace deal has been reached with the Prince and Princess of Wales despite their walk together in Windsor. Asked about the royal rift, Mrs King – who was first introduced to Harry and Meghan by their mutual friend Oprah Winfrey and attended the Duchess’s baby shower in New York in 2019 – said: “There have been efforts from both sides… to do something like that. correctly. “We’ll see… Big families always go through drama, they always go through turmoil. “It remains to be seen. Will they grow closer together or grow apart?” You might have thought that an unprecedented last 12 days would give the royals the perfect opportunity to patch up their differences. But really, the extraordinary sequence of events we’ve just witnessed has only served to highlight how cut off the Sussexes now are from The Firm, if not the family. Get the breakdown of the state reception invitation. Initially, the couple received an email saying they were welcome to join the rest of the royal family for a gathering of 1,000 world leaders at Buckingham Palace on Sunday night. The Telegraph understands the couple only got the first hint they may not be able to go after a press briefing on Thursday, when a question was raised by the royal’s spokesman about the presence of the “non-working” royals. Such is the breakdown in communication between the Sussexes and the palace that they were unable to get a firm answer as to whether they were in or out until Friday night, when it emerged they had been invited “by mistake”. As one bewildered insider explained: “They have done everything as best they could. They have appeared, they have smiled, they have shaken hands, everything that has been asked of them.” There was similar doubt over whether or not Harry could wear the Blues and Royals kit at any stage.
