Broadcaster Dee Dee Dunleavy claims Meghan Markle will never allow Prince Harry to apologise to the Royal Family for his memoir.

A royal insider has made startling claims about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s marriage and claimed the Duchess of Sussex is blocking her husband from reconciling with the monarchy.

Relations between the Sussexes and the royal family have progressively soured since Harry and Meghan opted to “step back” from royal duties and move to California in 2020.

Prince William reportedly cut his brother off for good following the release of Harry’s bombshell memoir Spare in 2023, which included claims Princess Catherine made Meghan cry.

Meanwhile, King Charles is understood to be more open to reconciling with his younger son, possibly in order to forge a closer relationship with his grandchildren Archie and Lilibet.

Royal commentator Dee Dee Dunleavy claimed Markle will never allow Prince Harry to apologise to the Royal Family for the betrayals in his memoir.

“(Harry) is not going to apologise, at least not while he is still with Meghan,” she told Sky News Australia host Rita Panahi on Wednesday.

“I really do believe he does her bidding and she is never going to allow him to apologise to the family.”

The insight comes after former butler to King Charles, Grant Harrold, told the New York Post any reconciliation between Harry and his family is contingent on the Duke of Sussex apologising for Spare.

“The only way I see this happening is a public statement from Harry, where you come out and say that you were in a bad space and that (Spare) was a mistake,” Mr Harrold said on Tuesday.

In particular, Charles is believed to be seeking an apology for unkind remarks Harry made about his “wicked stepmother” Camilla in Spare.

“I have complex feelings about gaining a stepparent who I thought had recently sacrificed me on her personal P.R. altar,” the Prince wrote.

The California-based royal also described worrying Camilla would be a “wicked stepmother” after Charles married his former mistress in 2005 and labelled the future Queen the “other woman”.

Relations between Harry and Camilla are so frosty that the Duke of Sussex reportedly asked for his stepmother to leave the room when he briefly met with Charles in February after the King’s cancer diagnosis.
