Prince Harry Reportedly Using Kids On Social Media As Reconciliation 'Last Resort'

Meghan Markle's return to social media with family-oriented posts may be linked to her husband, Prince Harry; at least, that is what an insider is suggesting to fans.

According to an insider, the Duke of Sussex is using his wife's lifestyle rebrand to pave the road to reconciliation with the British Royal Family. He and the former actress stepped down from their roles as working royals in 2020 amid allegations of mistreatment and more.

Prince Harry has been vocal about his interest in fixing the broken bridges between himself and his family. However, his words and actions have been contradictory, making many wonder if he truly hopes for a reunion.

Since launching her As Ever lifestyle brand, Meghan has gotten more comfortable sharing bits and pieces of her life on social media. In recent months, she has given fans several glimpses of her family's life in Montecito, including tender moments with her adorable kids.

The "Suits" alum and Prince Harry were initially very protective of their children's privacy, but a source claimed the Duke of Sussex bent his strict rules to fix things with the Royal Family. They argued that he was "desperate" to reconcile with his father, telling The Daily Mail:

"Harry is completely heartbroken. His dad refuses to see him or the kids - not even on Zoom. It's a last resort. He's desperately hoping the King might see a picture of Archie or Lilibet and realise what he's missing."

The insider alleged that Harry allowing his children to be showcased on social media started after he repeatedly failed to reconnect with his father. "He's tried everything - calls, letters... But nothing's worked,' they said. 'This is his way of saying, 'Look at what you're missing,'" the source claimed.

Despite their words, Meghan shared a different narrative while appearing on the "Aspire" podcast with British entrepreneur Emma Gredge. She addressed her now-viral twerking video, which captured her dancing while pregnant with her youngest child, Princess Lilibet.

"Did you see my 'Baby Momma' dance? That was four years ago... I'm just grateful that now, being back on social... I can share it on my own terms," Meghan told the Gredge.

She implied that her vulnerable social media updates stemmed from her desire to show fans her authentic self, rather than an alleged reconciliation ploy.

Fans joined the reconciliation discussion days earlier with cries for forgiveness underneath the Royal Family's Father's Day post. The Blast covered the story, reporting that the palace had shared a throwback picture of King Charles as a child with his late father, Prince Philip, and his sister Princess Anne.

The post also included a photo of Queen Camilla with her father, Major Bruce Shand. "To all Dads everywhere, we wish you a happy Father's Day today," the caption read. However, the sentiment was lost on many, who believed Prince William and Harry weren't namedropped because of the feud with the Sussexes.

These Harry and Meghan supporters implored the King to forgive his son and reconcile their differences. The cries for a reunion followed the Duke of Sussex's claims of wanting a reconciliation, but his efforts were allegedly blocked by his father's refusal to talk to him.

While Harry insisted he was willing to reconcile with his family, royal expert Joe Little begged to differ. He claimed the Duke of Sussex's actions did not fit his reunion claims, given his inability to stop addressing their estrangement publicly.

"I think for somebody who is seeking reconciliation with his father, his brother, and his family, his royal family as a whole, I think the very last thing that he should have been doing was talking publicly," Little argued.

The Royal expert added that he expected a more "dignified silence" from Harry since his loose lips started the feud. Sources echoed similar sentiments after Harry and Meghan appointed Emily Robinson as their new Director of Communications.

The Blast reported the new hire was the same woman responsible for promoting "The Crown" seasons three to six, a controversial drama about the British Royal Family.

According to sources, the couple's decision to hire Robinson might not sit well with the Royal Family, given their new personnel's history. The royals allegedly found the Netflix series problematic for several reasons, particularly the poor portrayal of its members as real-life figures rather than fictional characters.

Robinson was reportedly a part of the team responsible for refusing to add a disclaimer on the show's fifth season. King Charles was depicted as a man scheming to steal his mother's crown and dreaming of her abdicating the throne to him. There were more controversial episodes, with a source noting:

"In the circumstances, it's almost beyond belief that Harry and Meghan would hire someone straight from 'The Crown.'"

They claimed the Sussexes were not bothered by Robinson's past and more interested in the profits she would bring as their new Director of Communications.

Besides this move potentially ruining their chances of reconciliation, Harry also faced backlash for reportedly contemplating removing his royal surname.
