"Meghan Markle encourages Prince Harry to put the past behind him and move on," is the frontpage headline on the Daily Mail Sunday morning. While in the State of Israel we would be happy to wake up to such a headline in the media and not to a "special situation in the whole country," it seems that in England they do not appreciate their peace and security and are busy with gossipy drama.
Jennie Bond , the BBC's former royal correspondent, sees Markle's desire as something positive. "If Meghan really encourages Harry to leave the past behind I think it would be a healthy move. They made their decision, left the monarchy and the UK," Bond said in an interview with OK magazine. "Dwelling on past injustices and reliving old fights is a waste of time, and I think Meghan understands that."

Before we continue, we would like to remind Mrs. Bond that since Harry and Meghan's retirement from the royal family, the two of them - and Meghan in particular - have used every possible avenue of publicity, from Oprah Winfrey to writing an autobiographical book to a docu-series about their difficult life in the royal family; so to say that Meghan supports leaving the past behind? Well, maybe not so much.
"Isn't that what Harry and Meghan always wanted? To create their own lives?", a palace source wondered aloud in a conversation with People magazine. "It was supposed to be a great relief to get out of the UK and move on with their lives," he added.
"Harry is an angry boy," concluded a childhood friend of the prince to The Times. "Things didn't work out the way he wanted and I think he misses Britain a lot."
As for Harry's distance from his family, currently there is one big and very strong concern that prevents his family from talking to him - and that is the second volume of his autobiography.
"Charles and the rest of the family are worried that if they talk to Harry it will appear in the second volume," said a source close to the king. "As for the question of how trust can be restored - I don't know if there is a way, but from the conversations I had with the king, I will never say that the relationship cannot be repaired. King Charles' ability to forgive his son certainly exists."
So what will come first, a touching apology or a second bestseller? We will keep you posted!
