Meghan Markle has reportedly made a fresh effort to rebuild relations with her father-in-law King Charles.
According to the report, Meghan, 44, and Prince Harry, 41, believe they must present a united front if they want to win over the king.
The latest claim centres on Meghan’s anniversary post for Harry last month, which included a warm reference to Charles. Insiders described that move as deliberate. They claimed Harry welcomed it because he wants Meghan fully involved in any attempt to repair family ties.

Meghan Markle’s King Charles ‘strategy’
A source has told Closer that Meghan saw Charles’ failure to publicly acknowledge the couple’s anniversary as a slight. However, rather than pull back, she reportedly chose a more diplomatic response.
Insiders claimed she put together a large gift basket to mark the anniversary of Charles and Camilla’s coronation and included a note from both her and Harry. The king is then said to have sent a polite thank you message.
According to the source, Harry and Meghan know some people will question their motives. Even so, they reportedly plan to keep reaching out unless Charles tells them to stop.
A once-close bond that later broke down
Meghan and Charles were once believed to share a warm relationship. In 2018, he stepped in to walk her down the aisle at her wedding to Harry after her father Thomas Markle withdrew shortly before the ceremony.

That bond later weakened after the Sussexes stepped back from royal duties and moved to the US in 2020. Thanks to the couple’s tell-all interviews and damning allegations about his family, relations became strained.
Still, Harry has continued to say he wants reconciliation with his family.

Why Harry and Meghan are still pushing for peace
The source claimed Charles may be more open to a thaw than other senior royals. They also said his health struggles have made him think more carefully about forgiveness and family.
King Charles was diagnosed with cancer in early 2024. He continues his treatment.
Because of that, Harry and Meghan reportedly want to keep extending olive branches. In addition, they are said to see Charles as crucial to their long-term standing within the royal family.
The report also said the couple hope to meet the king in person during a UK visit linked to the countdown to the 2027 Invictus Games in Birmingham. They are believed to think a face-to-face meeting could help restore some of their old connection.
‘Harry couldn’t be happier’
A source said: “Harry is convinced that, if they’re going to win over Charles, Meghan needs to be just as involved as he is. It was her idea to share a photo of the king in her Instagram post – that was calculated – and Harry couldn’t be happier that she and him are finally on the same page when it comes to his family.”

They added: “Charles’ health struggles have forced him to consider what really matters and Harry swears his father has changed. He’s become more focused on forgiveness, and making the most of whatever time lies ahead.
“That’s why Harry and Meghan plan to keep extending olive branches for as long as it takes. It’s challenging, though. Harry’s convinced senior aides are in his father’s ear saying all sorts of poisonous things – and he suspects that Camilla and William are doing all they can to interfere, as well.”
