Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are now back living in the UK, and one royal expert believes they could reunite with Prince William and Kate Middleton for the sake of their children.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex ended their six-year run of living in California in August, moving to a non-royal residence just outside of London. It's believed the couple returned to the UK so their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, could go to school there.
Harry and Meghan are yet to reunite with any members of the royal family following their UK move, but royal expert Lynn Carratt has suggested it's "inevitable" that they will. It comes as a new poll found 91% of people believe Harry and Meghan should apologize to King Charles.

Speaking exclusively to The Express US, Lynn suggested Harry and Meghan might have decided to move to the UK so Archie and Lilibet can get to know their royal relatives.
She told us, "Archie and Lilibet are also now at an age where they will naturally start asking questions about their family. Who are their cousins? Where do they live? Why don't they see very much of them?

"As they become more aware of their father's background and their own royal heritage, George, Charlotte and Louis are inevitably going to become part of those conversations."

The royal expert continued, "That could be another factor weighing on Harry. Whatever has happened between him and William, he may not want their difficulties to mean his own children grow up without properly knowing their cousins."
Harry has been estranged from his brother Prince William for the past few years, with their relationship worsening when Harry released his memoir, Spare.
The Duke of Sussex hit out at his brother in the book, even accusing the Prince of Wales of attacking him during a physical altercation.
Lynn continued, "Harry grew up alongside William and understands just how significant those childhood family bonds can be. He is very close to his own cousin, Princess Eugenie."
She concluded, "Spending more meaningful time in Britain would allow Archie and Lilibet to experience that side of their heritage for themselves, rather than Britain simply being somewhere their father tells them stories about. Crucially, it would also give them more opportunity to develop a relationship with their grandfather."
Lynn's comments come as Meghan and Harry were forced to speak out after two photographers were spotted at Archie and Lilibet's school. In a statement, their spokesperson called the photographers "extraordinarily reckless" and accused of an "unacceptable intrusion into the privacy of children."
According to reports, there were two paparazzi at the scene, with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's security team claiming that the pair seemed to be working together.
