A potential decision by Meghan and Prince Harry to travel across the pond with their children to celebrate Lili's christening in the UK could represent an olive branch to the Royal Family. But, a royal expert has warned, it would not be enough to "bring healing to everyone".
Royal historian and commentator Marlene Koenig told Express.co.uk: "It will take a lot more than a baptism to bring healing to everyone.
"[It will take] Trust (from both sides), and talking about the issues, sitting down and talking together rather than drip-feed (both sides) to the press.
"That said, I think there would be a lot of goodwill by coming to England for a baptism, with Lilibet wearing the christening gown, with the immediate family (the Queen, Charles, Camilla, the Cambridges in attendance) and the release of a group photo.
"But a family photo cannot erase the pain and hurt on both sides, but what comes after that photo, time together, sitting down and talking."
Ms Koenig then touched upon the rumoured trip to the UK in September by the Sussexes.
She said: "It has been rumoured that Harry would return in September for another Diana event.
"This would be the perfect time for the family of four to travel across the pond for a baptism and time with Harry’s family."
Speculation over a second reunion within months between Prince William and Prince Harry started to swirl a few days after the Dukes unveiled together the statue of Princess Diana at Kensington Palace on July 1.
A source told the Sun: "There were no peace talks and distance remains there.

"It is a step forward but this was not the time or the place.
"September is a date pencilled in for a more extensive celebration of the statue, and Harry will want to return."
While Meghan, who had given birth to Lili only a few weeks prior, remained in California with her two children during Harry's last trip to London, she may join her husband in September, sources believe.
Lili was born on June 4 at a hospital in Santa Barbara, her parents announced two days later.
Meghan and Harry's possible plans for her christening, including whether the little Sussex will be baptised at all, are being kept under wraps.
The christening would take place two years after Archie Harrison's, who was baptised in July 2019 in Windsor.
The ceremony was entirely private, with photographers barred from staying on the premises of the chapel to take pictures of the attendees.
The full guest list and the names of Archie's godparents have never been revealed.
But it is known, thanks to an official picture shared after the event took place, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Camilla and Prince Charles, Meghan's mum Doria Ragland and Princess Diana's sisters were in attendance.
The Queen and Prince Philip, however, could not be there due to a scheduling conflict.
Meghan and Harry officially stepped down as senior royals at the end of March 2020.
One year later, they opened up about their struggles within the Firm during a bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Speaking to Ms Winfrey, the Duke and Duchess raised allegations of racism and neglect within the Firm and explained they quit as senior royals due to a "lack of support and lack of understanding."
Harry also spoke about the bond with his close relatives, saying he "feels let down" by Prince Charles and his relationship with Prince William was of "space" at that moment.
However, he and Meghan spoke highly about the Queen, stating they have remained in touch throughout the pandemic.
Harry and William saw each other on July 1, when they marked their mother's 60th birthday at Kensington Palace.
