Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could make one key move that could help mend their strained relationship with King Charles, a royal expert has claimed.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been estranged from the Royal Family after they quit their royal duties and moved to the US in 2020.
Since then, the couple have made a series of claims against the Firm through interviews, their Netflix docuseries, Harry & Meghan, and the duke's memoir, Spare.
Back in February, Harry rushed back home after it was announced his father had been diagnosed with cancer.
But any hopes for a royal reconciliation were dashed after the duke's latest visit in May, during which he didn't see the Charles, who was "busy" attending other engagements.

Now royal author Robert Hardman suggested that there is still one move the couple could make to patch things up with the monarch, the Independent reports.
Mr Hardman spoke at the Hay Literary Festival and claimed that Harry and Meghan should take their young family to Balmoral, where they can be away from the public gaze.
He said: "Once that happens it’s not such big news when it happens again. Then you start to get somewhere."
Members of the Royal Family traditionally travel to Balmoral in the Scottish Highlands late in the summer.

The grounds at the 50,000-acre estate in Aberdeenshire often remain open to the public until August, just before the royals move in.
Elsewhere, the biographer, who wrote Charles III: New King, New Court, The Inside Story, claimed that the monarch is "unhappy" about the row with his younger son, which he finds "unsettling".
He said: "There he is, he’s got two sons, one he hardly sees, and two grandchildren he’s barely ever seen, and yes, I think he would like some sort of modus vivendi.
"Clearly they can’t come back to royal life, I don’t think they want to. And, after all that’s happened, it wouldn’t work."
