Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reportedly want a sit-down with the Royal Family to air out unsettled grievances, in hopes of an apology — this after not feeling satisfied post-Netflix.
According to The Sunday Times, a source close to the Sussexes says Harry and Meg would very much like a meeting with senior members of the monarchy — presumably, King Charles, and Prince William — to tackle issues they just laid out in their series, “Harry & Meghan.”

The reason they wanna hash it out once and for all … this source, cited by The Times, claims they feel short-changed in the accountability department. Namely, they assert the Royals never addressed their problems head-on, nor did they ever own up to anything.
In light of Buckingham Palace moving mountains to make things right with Ngozi Fulani — who was recently at the center of a race-related scandal at the hands of a high-ranking Royal official — this source says H and M feel they’re owed the same type of courtesy.
Mixed feelings about yesterday’s visit to Buckingham Palace. 10 mins after arriving, a member of staff, Lady SH, approached me, moved my hair to see my name badge. The conversation below took place. The rest of the event is a blur.

There’s also the issue of Charles’ coronation in May, which The Times says Harry and Meghan are expected to attend — although, it’s unclear by whom. They cite a senior Royal source who says, “If they want to get in touch with the King, they know where he lives.”
Apparently, Harry and Megan would like to reach some sort of reconciliation before then … but it’s sounding like an icy one-way street and the feeling isn’t mutual. Not only is Charles reportedly taking an aloof approach to the whole thing, but The Times also claims they’ve been told Will has no plans to speak to his brother for the time being.
The vow of silence is also one that the Royal institution as a whole is planning to maintain now that the Netflix series is over. Despite claims that palace aides and/or staff might’ve gone out of their way to plant stories about Meghan — not to mention allegations of racism aimed at their son, Archie — it seems the Royals are staying out of the mud on this one.
None of the Royals have responded to anything discussed in the special … they’ve simply been carrying on with their duties heading into the holidays. If this report is to be believed about Harry and Meghan’s wishes, things might come to a head sooner than later.
Of course, there’s also the issue of Harry’s forthcoming memoir — which, by most accounts, is supposed to be even more explosive than the Netflix doc was. The saga continues …
