King considering offering Harry and Meghan the 'ultimate olive branch'

The property has been vacant since Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was exiled at the beginning of February, and asked to move into Wood Farm in Sandringham.

The monarch is now believed to be keen to move on from the rift with Harry, 41, and Meghan, 44, after the couple left the Royal Family to start a new life in the US in 2020.

Royal commentator Rob Shuter quoted a source as saying: "This would be the ultimate olive branch. Charles wants unity.

"Offering Harry a significant Windsor property would send a powerful message that the door is still open."

Shuter claimed that the King is ready to let go of past tensions with his son, but according to sources Royal Lodge has been described as expensive to maintain and in need of repairs.

Andrew had resided at Royal Lodge since 2004 with ex-wife Sarah Ferguson before he was asked to leave amid the fallout linked to his relationship to Jeffrey Epstein.

The former prince was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in a public office last month.

He is accused of sharing sensitive information while acting as a special representative for trade and investment between 2001 and 2011.

It remains unclear whether Harry and Meghan would be open to a move back to the UK, after reportedly wanting their children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet to decide for themselves whether they want to become working royals in the future.

However, another source claimed: "Moving Harry and Meghan into Andrew's old house ties them to a property that’s become synonymous with scandal."
