Overview

  • Meredith Maines and Liam Maguire flew in to meet Tobyn Andreae for casual, agenda-free discussions at the Royal Over-Seas League garden terrace on July 9.
  • These talks mark the first dialogue between the two camps since the Sussexes stepped back from royal duties in 2020, signaling a tentative thaw in relations long strained by public allegations and legal battles.
  • Negotiations over Prince Harry’s UK police protection remain unresolved, with both sides recognizing it as a core obstacle to any family reconciliation.
  • The summit follows Harry’s May BBC interview, in which he disclosed his father’s cancer diagnosis and appealed for an end to their feud.
  • Neither Buckingham Palace nor Team Sussex has commented on the meeting, underscoring the discreet and exploratory nature of this nascent rapprochement.
