A royal expert believes Princess Catherine's long-standing trust concerns over Meghan Markle could take an 'unexpected turn' following Prince Harry and Meghan's recent meeting with King Charles III.
Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and their children Archie and Lilibet had a private family meeting with King Charles III and Queen Camilla at Highgrove House in Gloucestershire on July 10, 2026. This marked the King's first time seeing the children in over four years.
Royal expert weighs in on potential reconciliation
On a new Daily Expresso episode, host JJ Anisiobi was joined by royal expert and former TalkTV presenter Daisy McAndrew for a deep-dive into the state of the Royal Family. The conversation turned to whether Kate and Meghan could eventually repair their relationship despite the events that followed Harry and Meghan's decision to step away from royal duties.
Host JJ Anisiobi said: "Catherine doesn't trust Meghan Markle for good reason. Meghan Markle slated the royal family."
He pointed out how the couple's 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey was a particularly significant moment in the breakdown of relations. Harry and Meghan discussed their experiences within the royal institution, including allegations surrounding race and treatment within the family.
'Trust is personal'
Anisiobi then asked: "Can you ever see a point when Catherine can actually trust Meghan?"
Daisy McAndrew answered that "trust is personal," but suggested there could still be an arrangement for the "good of the firm."
Rather than necessarily restoring the close relationship they may once have hoped for, the two women could potentially establish a more practical understanding for the sake of the monarchy.
McAndrew said: "I mean, trust is something so personal, isn't it? I can see a point where they come to some sort of arrangement for the good of the group, for the good of the firm, and I don't know Catherine's personality enough.
"If it happened to certain friends of mine, I could tell you who would be able to bury the hatchet and who wouldn't. I have some friends that would never ever be able to move on. And I have some friends that be like, 'Yeah, life's too short. I forgive you because, you know, it's it's it's damaging me to keep this grudge going.' And those are two very different personalities.
"And I'm not sure which one Catherine is."
