The British royal family is extremely reluctant to reconcile with Meghan Markle — despite being open to peace talks with Prince Harry. According to New York Post report, 'Just weeks after the Duke of Sussex sent his aides to London to meet with King Charles' communications secretary, it emerged that the core of the royal rift hasn't changed.'
According to insiders, trust, or lack thereof, remains at the heart of the years long family feud — and insiders believe that the Suits alum is to blame.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle
Money-minded Meghan Markle
The source alleged that the royal family's greatest fear is having any conversation they have with Markle become material for the next money-making venture she throws herself into. According to reports, Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has been described as money-minded due to her focus on building a business empire and increasing her net worth. She's reportedly aiming to become a billionaire through ventures like a lifestyle series, a podcast, and a shopping website. This ambition has led some to perceive her as focused on financial gain, especially given her past and ongoing projects with Netflix and Spotify.
In fact, Firstpost had earlier reported on how Meghan is 'prostituting' their titles to make more money. Even as they turn their noses up on royal tradition, both Meghan and Harry always wanted to carry their title of princess and prince and even the tradition of hereditary privileges. According to reports as Harry put it, they always wanted their kids to have their birth rights to be Prince and he has done everything in his power.

It is very demeaning that Harry and Meghna are prostituting their titles to make more money. Money-minded Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are 'prostituting' their titles and the Royal Family to make more money, says Talk TV contributor Esther Krakue. 'What is really odd is the fact that Harry and Meghan felt insulted when they found out at the time that their children wouldn't be eligible to be Prince and Princess,' she told Sky News host Caroline Di Russo. 'Although they're forgetting the fact that Princess Royal Anne, her children Zara Tindall and Peter Phillips weren't entitled to use the title Prince and Princess because at the time only male members of the Royal Family could pass down their titles.'

Did Deepika Padukone's Wedding Mehendi Cost Rs 1 Lakh? Find Out
Last Updated: Deepika Padukone fulfilled her promise to hire Veena Nagda for her wedding festivities, and here's how it happened. Deepika Padukone's Mehendi ceremony was a magical and intimate affair in Lake Como, Italy. While the actress looked absolutely radiant, it was the heartfelt moments that made her wedding to Ranveer Singh truly unforgettable. At the heart of it all was Veena Nagda, Bollywood's most sought-after Mehendi artist, who played a pivotal role in bringing Deepika's bridal vision to life. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Veena Bollywood Mehendi (@veenanagda) What made this moment even more special was the history between Deepika and Veena. Years before the wedding, the actress had made a promise to book Veena for her big day after being wowed by her intricate henna work during a film shoot. True to her word, Deepika fulfilled that vow. She personally invited Veena to be part of her wedding. In a chat with Filmibeat, Veena Nagda shared that her henna charges for customised designs are costly, usually around Rs 1 lakh. She also opened up about her experience at Deepika and Ranveer's wedding. She shared a touching backstory that highlighted the actress's sincerity and integrity. Veena recalled first meeting Deepika on the sets of Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, where she had applied Mehendi on her for a scene. Deepika was so impressed with her intricate designs that she made a promise to hire Veena for her wedding someday. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Veena Bollywood Mehendi (@veenanagda) Years later, the actress stayed true to her word. When it came time for her real-life Mehendi, Deepika reached out to Veena and ensured she was flown to Italy for the occasion. Veena was commissioned for a full five days to design henna patterns for the bride and other family members. Recalling her time in Lake Como, Veena shared how challenging it initially seemed to create detailed Mehendi in the cold Italian weather. The chilly climate had made her wonder whether Deepika could endure the long hours needed for the intricate designs. Ranveer Singh's Warm Presence Veena fondly remembered how the mood and even the weather shifted the moment Ranveer walked in 'The sun came out, and he really lit up the room," she said. Veena added, 'He was joking and laughing with everyone, and he addressed me personally while I was doing Deepika's mehendi." Ranveer even took the time to compliment her directly while she was at work, saying, 'A queen is doing the Mehendi for another queen." Veena described this moment as unforgettable and symbolic of the respect and affection the couple shares with those around them. Ranveer Singh's Tribute To Deepika And His Family View this post on Instagram A post shared by दीपिका पादुकोण (@deepikapadukone) While Deepika was the focus of the ceremony, Ranveer also took part in the tradition in his heartfelt way. He requested Veena to design a special Mehendi for him as well. On his palm, he had the word 'Deep" inscribed, a loving nod to his bride-to-be. To make it even more meaningful, he asked for three stars to be added, each one representing a cherished woman in his life: Deepika, his mother and his sister. The couple tied the knot over two days on November 14 and 15, 2018, in a dual-ceremony setup that honoured both their cultural backgrounds. The Konkani-style wedding paid homage to Deepika's roots, while the Sindhi-style ceremony embraced Ranveer's heritage. Surrounded by close family and friends, their union was held at the breathtaking Villa Del Balbianello, a historic venue nestled on the shores of Lake Como. Ranveer And Deepika Welcome Their Baby Daughter In 2025, Ranveer and Deepika embraced parenthood with the birth of their baby girl, Dua. Their little one has added even more joy to their already blessed journey together, making them one of the most admired families in the film industry today. What's Next For The Power Couple? On the professional front, both stars are busy with major projects. Ranveer Singh is preparing for his role in Aditya Dhar's upcoming film Dhurandhar, a movie that has already generated significant buzz. Meanwhile, Deepika Padukone is set to reunite with Shah Rukh Khan in the much-awaited film King, which fans are eagerly looking forward to.
