One expert pointed out that the season of Lent, observed by the Royal Family, should be a time for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to seek forgiveness.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle should make the first move in ending the feud with the Royal Family by apologising, especially to Princess Kate, for their behaviour, according to a royal commentator.

The Duke and Duchess of Sus𝓈ℯ𝓍 have barely been on speaking terms with Harry’s family ever since they moved to California in 2020, with some claims made in his memoir Spare being particularly brutal on Kate.

It was revealed last Friday that the Princess of Wales is set to undergo preventative chemotherapy after being diagnosed with cancer, however the Daily Mail’s Richard Eden believes reconciliation with Harry and Meghan is possible if only they apologise first.

He told Palace Confidential: “Since Catherine’s video was broadcast almost a week ago, there’d been lots of suggestions that William, with his wife being treated for cancer, should mend fences with his brother, that it’s a great time for them to come back together.

“It’s up to Harry and Meghan to seek forgiveness. You know, we’re in the season of Lent, and they should be the ones who apologise for all the hurt they’ve caused. They’ve contributed to a terrible state of mental health.

“What has Catherine had to put up with over the past few years? Putting up with these constant barrage of attacks. Any of us would find that gruelling and hard to take. They should apologise, publicly or privately, and then maybe things can start to heal.”
