Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are set for an olive branch as King Charles ‘wants to see Archie and Lilibet.’
A source has claimed that the King could invite Prince Harry, Meghan, Archie and Lilibet to Balmoral Castle in Scotland to “reunite with his grandchildren.”
The monarch has only seen his grandson, Prince Archie on a few occasions and met Princess Lilibet in person once.
The source said: “I can see Charles desperately wanting to see the children, and extending this olive branch to Meghan and Harry. He may decide that life is just too short.”

The source told Page Six: “Balmoral is truly the perfect, restful place for a reunion. If he does issue an invite, then Harry and Meghan should surely agree to the visit.”
Balmoral is widely referred to as the late Queen’s favourite residence and Harry spoke fondly of his love for Balmoral in his memoir, Spare.
He said: “To me, Balmoral was always simply Paradise…What I’m trying to say is, I was happy there.”
Prince Harry is expected to return to the UK in May for an Invictus Games event, but it is not confirmed if Meghan and their children will accompany him.
