00:00 Oh gee, I can't imagine why he would want his old life back.
00:03 Basically unlimited money and limited her.
00:07 Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are said to be trying to mend their relationship with
00:11 the British Royal Family.
00:13 And people think that they're just doing this in a very shady way.
00:24 Meghan and Harry are reportedly doing this by getting closer to King Charles' youngest
00:31 sibling, Prince Edward and his wife, Sophie.
00:34 They're attempting to reconcile with Harry's distant family members and sort of weasel
00:38 themselves back into the family.
00:41 And this is according to entertainment commentator Mark Boardman.
00:45 And this is what Mark Boardman specifically said.
00:48 Meghan and Harry have reconnected with Sophie and Edward, and this renewed connection may
00:53 serve as a gateway back into the royal household.
01:05 However there was one unnamed insider who stated that the rumors about Meghan Markle
01:12 and Prince Harry reconnecting with Prince Edward and his wife Sophie are false.
01:18 And according to this source, there have been no discussions or interactions between them
01:23 whatsoever.
01:29 In any case though, Mark Boardman says that this is in fact true.
01:34 And he said in a new report that despite a significant age gap, both couples have endured
01:40 substantial public scrutiny over the years.
01:43 Mark Boardman also stated that Sophie has been a close confidant for Prince Harry, and
01:49 recent interactions between the two couples indicate their ongoing connection.
01:54 Harry and Meghan have become especially close to Prince Edward and his wife Sophie since
02:00 King Charles became king in September of 2022 after Queen Elizabeth II's passing.
02:09 And royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams mentioned that Harry and Meghan's friendship with
02:15 Edward is relatively recent.
02:18 In the past though, Queen Elizabeth had hoped that Sophie would assist Meghan Markle in
02:24 adopting to royal life, although a close relationship never really developed from there.
02:30 And Richard Fitzwilliams went on to add, "Neither were born royal.
02:36 Both, especially Meghan, have suffered from press harassment.
02:39 Both had ambitions to combine being royal with other activities after joining the royal
02:45 family and found it was not possible."
02:48 So you can kind of see why Meghan and Sophie could have a close connection, or maybe there
02:55 was hopes that a deeper connection was going to be formed because they have very similar
03:00 stories and experiences.
03:02 But in general, Harry and Meghan have been distant from King Charles, Prince William
03:08 and other members of the royal family since stepping back from their roles as senior working
03:13 royals in 2020, only two years after their wedding.
03:17 They moved to Montecito, California with their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet,
03:22 and have been openly critical of the royal family since then.
03:25 They notably did a revealing interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021, and Harry released
03:31 his harsh memoir titled Spare in early 2023.
03:36 Before that, they even released a documentary detailing their issues with the royal family.
03:41 And later in 2023, Harry briefly visited the UK on the anniversary of his grandmother,
03:46 Queen Elizabeth II's passing, before heading to the Invictus Games in Germany.
03:54 And surprisingly, he didn't stop by Balmoral Castle to see his father, King Charles.
03:58 And this was despite being invited by King Charles.
04:01 And then after the Invictus Games, Harry and Meghan went on a secretive trip to Portugal
04:06 with Princess Eugenie and her husband, Jack Brooksbank.
04:11 It's reported that Prince Harry is close with Princess Eugenie.
04:15 While King Charles is willing to reconcile, it does appear though that Prince William
04:20 and Princess Catherine aren't really open to connect with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.
04:27 But we can see that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are trying to make connections with
04:35 royal members in some way, shape or form.
04:39 And this is looking like it could literally be a gateway for them to actually mend their
04:45 relationship with the royal family.
04:47 Which is not necessarily a bad thing.
04:50 But from the looks of it, they have their favourites within the royal family that they're
04:54 interested in connecting with.
04:56 And for the others, it doesn't seem like Meghan and Harry are interested.
05:01 But who knows, I could be wrong.
05:03 There could be some type of reconnection in the future.
05:07 I'm always hopeful, I'm always a little bit optimistic of things working out.
05:11 But from the looks of it right now, it doesn't seem like they're going to reconnect and
05:15 reconcile things with the entire royal family.
05:18 But that's just my two cents on it guys.
