Prince Harry and the rest of the royal family have not been on good terms in years. Harry does have a relationship with some royals, but his core family members — King Charles and Prince William — are still at odds with the Duke of Sussex.

Despite high tensions among the royals, many family members do miss Harry and wish that he and Meghan Markle would make a UK return. Now, it seems that one surprising family member could be the one who tries to bring them back together.

The royal family ‘misses’ Prince Harry — and one person might try to reconnect them all

Harry and Meghan left the royal family back in 2020 after they were deeply dissatisfied with the lack of protection they were getting from the press. The two have been living a life independently from the royals ever since, and they have not patched things up with William and Charles (Harry has said in the past that he is waiting for an apology).

However, sources close to the royals say that Harry’s family really does miss him. “No one likes to admit it, but for all his mistakes, everyone misses Harry,” a source told Woman’s Day, via Express.  And, surprisingly, Harry and William’s cousin, Zara Tindall, could be the one who reconnects them all. “Zara figures there couldn’t be a better time for her to try and broker peace. Zara feels she’s the only one who can get through to both of them.”

Harry has returned to the UK several times this year, but he only saw his father once. He and his father are reportedly on decent terms, though there have been rumors that things have gone south since that meeting back in February. Either way, Harry maintains that he loves his family.

What would it take for the royals to reconcile?

A potential reconciliation has always been on the table, but it remains unclear exactly what both sides would need for it to come to fruition. Harry did say a while back that he wants an apology, especially from William, but William has never spoken publicly about the brothers’ feud. His silence could speak volumes, though; it’s possible he wants nothing to do with Harry.

There have been a number of events where the royals have reconnected, but for the most part, Harry and William avoid each other. The two have spent ample time in the UK together this year and could have found the time to talk things through if they had wanted to, but neither took the opportunity.
