“The not-so-secret message is: ‘We’re here, we can help, we can do this with you’ – and that can only work to Harry and Meghan’s advantage,” she said.
According to Seward, the visit may also be connected to recent events surrounding their uncle, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
“I do feel a desire from Harry for a rapprochement, because I’m absolutely certain Harry will have contacted his brother about the Andrew situation,” she claimed.
Attempts at communication behind the scenes
While Seward believes Harry likely reached out, it remains unclear whether the two brothers actually spoke.
“Whether they have spoken, though… that is a different matter. But I’m sure he has contacted William and his father to express huge sympathy for what’s going on and has tried to keep in touch.”
She suggested the controversy surrounding Andrew may have unexpectedly created an opportunity for Harry to reconnect with his family.
Interestingly, Seward said she believes that the “Andrew situation has created a sort of olive branch for Harry, undoubtedly.”
Relations within the royal family remain tense
Despite that possibility, a return to official royal duties for the Sussexes is still considered highly unlikely.
