Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s visit to the UK in the coming days have been surrounded by buzz over who will be meeting up with them,
When the Duke and Duchess of Sussex had friction with the Firm and some senior members but there were some of cousins who reportedly still had close ties with him, including Zara Tindall and Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.
However, as the years went by, things changed. Now, that there is a reconciliation it King Charles on the horizon, there is speculation about whether Harry would be able to reunite with his extended family including his beloved cousin Zara.
According to royal expert Duncan Larcombe, Harry and Zara have seemingly drifted apart they have “lost touch”. A key example is how Zara’s brother Peter Phillips did not invite Harry to his wedding last month.
“I understand they have barely spoken in the years since the prince met and married Meghan,” Duncan told Woman & Home magazine.
“Not only are they said to have drifted apart, but the old close friendship they once enjoyed his, I understand, almost entirely evaporated.”
The last time Harry was seen with Zara was during the King’s Coronation in 2023.
Meanwhile, royal correspondent Emily Andrews also claimed that it is probably not just Prince William who is upset with Harry. She insisted that there are other members of the family who are “let down” as well.
Hence, it is unlikely that Harry would get a meeting between Archie and Lilibet with their Aunt Zara unless the King himself asked his niece to show up, which itself appears to be a far-fetched scenario.
