Prince Harry and Meghan Markle might not be on the same page when it comes to their future plans.
Harry surprised royal fans when he flew back to the UK for a very brief visit following the news of King Charles's cancer diagnosis. The Duke was said to have been 'panic stricken' when he was told the news, and decided to jump on a plane bound for London.
While his visit was swift - Harry and Charles only spent around 30 minutes together - it did prompt some heartfelt conversation with Meghan upon the Duke's return to LA. And a source told OK! magazine that emotions were high when the couple discussed the future of their relationship with the royal family.
The insider clamimed: "Meghan doesn't want anything to do with it and is keen to stay away from England, but Harry is of the opinion that he must repair the damage that has been caused.
"There have been plenty of emotional conversations and heart to hearts over the best way to handle the situation and move forward. Harry wants to put an end to the feud and regrets the way that things have turned out.

"There's no plan B for Harry, patching things up with his family is the only option. It's finally hit home how difficult it will be to repair the damage caused by the various swipes at his family over the years."
Harry will face opposition, however. Most notably, from his older brother. According to reports, Harry, who quit as a senior royal with Meghan in 2020, is now willing to return to a temporary royal role to support his ailing father. The Duke and Charles were said to have had several "warm exchanges" before Harry flew from his California home to the UK last week and spent 30 minutes with his father.
William and the King, meanwhile, have been having one-to-one meetings at the royals' Sandringham estate in Norfolk, where the monarch is recuperating after weekly cancer treatment in London. And a source told the Mirror that there is "no chance" the heir would allow his brother back, noting that William no longer trusts Harry or Meghan.
"Whatever has been discussed between William and the King is private, but it is absolutely and categorically clear that he (William) would not allow Harry to return. He thought it was a bad idea at the time and he's even more clear now," the insider said.
"If anyone is going to take on more duties it will be William and that isn't even on the agenda for now. His main focus is on his father's health, his family and what is best for the monarchy. There is a zero per cent chance Harry is coming back in any capacity."
