Meghan Markle is reportedly trying to start a new chapter with the Royal Family. The will they/won't they saga involving their appearance at next month's Coronation finally came to a close last week with the revelation Prince Harry will fly solo for the occasion - but that is not to say Meghan wants to continue the fighting.
The former Suits actress, 41, will remain stateside to look after hers and Harry's two children, with the Coronation landing on son Archie's fourth birthday.
And it is now said that despite her no-show, the Duchess of Sussex is determined to make sure there are no more rifts that will disrupt the family's harmony.
According to Page Six, a source close to Meghan has revealed she "wants her children to know their grandfather," King Charles. The insider revealed this is especially the case as they won't know their grandfather from their mother's side, her long-estranged dad Thomas Markle.
The source added: "She does hope they will meet and hopes her decision will be seen as an unselfish one, as it was best to keep the attention on His Majesty.
"She just really doesn’t want a song and dance and everything being lived out in the public eye."
Meghan's decision to not be by her husband's side on the momentous occasion has divided the public's opinion, with some believing she was in a no-win situation.
PR expert Chad Teixeira told the Mirror following the announcement that she is risking pushing herself further away from the Royal Family.

He also said the public will have been "banking on a united Royal Family", leaving them disappointed by Meghan's response.
The CEO of celebrity PR agency Daddy The Agency said: "Whether there's a solid reason behind this play or it shows Meghan's stance, one might reckon that they'd hit the pause button on their differences.
"However, only the Royal Family and the Royal Institution will know the full story behind Meghan's decision to stay away."
There are also rumours that the party for Prince Archie could in fact upstage the King's special occasion, with eyes focusing on events in the US.
Royal columnist Lee Cohen made the claim, telling Express.co.uk : "It's terribly petty, but the Sussexes, who no longer have their royal platform, seem to relish any opportunity to attempt to upstage a royal occasion.
"It's not as if the Royal Family seek occasions to upstage the antics of the Sussexes, quite the opposite."
