Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are hoping to use Kate Middleton's return to public life as an opportunity to repair their relationship with the royal family.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have had minimal contact with Prince William and Kate Middleton since Queen Elizabeth's burial service in 2022.
The couple is believed to be eager to resolve the lingering feud, with Meghan hoping to be viewed as taking the high road by reaching out and lowering tensions.
"Meghan's desperate to come across as the bigger person and end this feud between them - appearing like some sort of royal saviour could only do her image good," a source familiar with the matter told the Times.
"Their hope is that (Princess Kate's return to work) might take some of the heat off them and possibly trigger a truce with her and William, and with the King, too," he said.
Following Kate's 2024 Mother's Day photo incident, OK! Magazine said that the Duke requested Meghan to "reach out" to her at the time.
"Harry thinks it might be the perfect time for Meghan to reach out to Kate because she knows what it's like to come under fire from the public and the press," he added.
"Harry wants his family to return to the UK, and he knows that the only way that will happen is if Meghan can repair her fractured relationship with Kate."
