Prince Harry <\/a>reportedly wants Meghan Markle<\/a> to smooth things over with Princess Kate<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As Star previously reported,<\/a> the Sussexes are planning to visit the U.K. from July 7 to July 11 for the first time in four years with their children, Prince Archie<\/a>, 7, and Princess Lilibet<\/a>, 5, according to USA Today<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A source now tells Star that the With Love, Meghan host, 44, wants to meet with the Princess of Wales, 44, on the trip.<\/p>\n

\u201cHarry\u2019s been gently encouraging Meghan to make the first move because he genuinely believes Kate would be receptive if she\u2019s open to sitting down and clearing the air,\u201d the source says. \u201cHe still has a huge amount of love and respect for Kate, and from everything they\u2019ve shared over the years he doesn\u2019t think she\u2019s someone who holds onto bitterness forever.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, the insider notes that the Spare author, 41, is \u201cnot kidding himself that it\u2019s going to fix everything overnight, but he does think it could get the ball rolling in the right direction.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMeghan agrees it\u2019s worth trying because she knows making peace with Kate publicly would go a long way towards repairing her battered reputation and showing she\u2019s serious about turning over a new leaf,\u201d the source explains.<\/p>\n

The source adds that Harry and Meghan hope to keep their titles and that clearing the air with the Waleses is \u201ccrucial\u201d for that.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the insider predicts that when the first meeting does happen, it \u201cwill need to be kept very private,\u201d as Kate wouldn\u2019t like it \u201cbeing used for PR.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Monday, June 29, USA Today reported that Harry and Meghan have accepted King Charles III<\/a>\u2018s offer to stay in a royal residence<\/a> for part of their visit to England.<\/p>\n

Harry reunited with the sovereign in September, ending their 19-month estrangement, but tensions remain high<\/a> between him and his brother Prince William<\/a>.<\/p>\n
