King Charles is reportedly extending an olive branch to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, signaling a potential thaw in the years-long feud between the Royal Family and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. This move comes amid speculation about a possible UK visit by Harry and Meghan, with Meghan potentially joining Harry for an Invictus Games event in July, marking her first visit since Queen Elizabeth's funeral in September 2022.

At the heart of this potential reconciliation is an invitation from King Charles for Harry and Meghan to stay at Highgrove House, his private country residence in Gloucestershire. Described as "ultra-secure," the estate boasts a 24-hour armed police presence, a no-fly zone, and a steel-lined panic room, addressing Harry and Meghan's concerns about safety in the UK. The location of Highgrove House is also a short distance from Birmingham, making it a convenient base for summer engagements.

Prince Harry is reportedly eager to involve his father in the 2027 Invictus Games in Birmingham, even expressing a "dream" to have King Charles open the games alongside him. Sources suggest that planners are optimistic about Charles' participation in the opening ceremony.

Since stepping down as working royals in 2020, Harry and Meghan's security arrangements in the UK have been a contentious issue. Harry's automatic right to taxpayer-funded security was removed, leading to a case-by-case review process. Reports indicate that Harry's security is currently under review again, with insiders suggesting that protection is likely to be approved later this month.

While an invitation to Highgrove House could be a thoughtful gesture from King Charles, some sources suggest that the Sussexes would still need to stay in a hotel in the city during the 2027 Invictus Games. Despite this, the offer of accommodation at Highgrove is viewed as a significant step towards making Harry and Meghan feel more comfortable during any UK visit.
