Prince Harry remains insistent on receiving an apology from senior royals for how they treated his wife, Meghan Markle, following their marriage. According to royal author Gareth Russell, the Duke of Sussex still expects a full apology before any reconciliation can occur.
Relations between Harry and the royal family have reached an all-time low, exacerbated by the release of his memoir, Spare. Despite attending King Charles's Coronation earlier this year, Harry and Meghan are not expected to join the family for the first anniversary of the late Queen's death next month.
Russell told US Weekly that he would be 'stunned' if the Sussexes accepted any invitation to the commemorative event, noting that nothing has changed in the family dynamic. He added that the royal family's stance, encapsulated by the phrase 'recollections may vary,' remains unchanged.
Details of the September 8 anniversary plans are still being finalised, with King Charles and Prince William reportedly working on a suitable tribute. A source suggested that Charles may reflect in solitude, while William and Kate take the lead. The Sussexes are scheduled to be in Europe at the time but are unlikely to be invited.
Russell believes the anniversary may be the last major opportunity for a reunion for years, as no significant royal events are upcoming. He noted that even the Coronation was not enough to fully reunite the family.
