King Charles’ affection for his daughter-in-law, Meghan Markle, has given royal fans hope for a reconciliation between the royal family and the Sussexes.
The monarch’s genuine love and admiration for wife Prince Harry during her time at the palace goes some way to belying the ‘difficult duchess’ claims made by royal aides.
Exploring the bond between Charles and Meghan, royal author Russell Myers said the king gave him the nickname “Tungsten” because of his strong personality.
In his book, William and Catherine: the intimate story from the insidedeclared the royal commentator, “he [Charles] I liked her very much and, at first, I found her charming to be around.”
A Palace insider shared: “Meghan was engaging, polite and was clearly in love with his son, so there were certainly no apparent issues that he felt the need to address.”
It’s important to note that King Charles was praised for walking Meghan down the aisle during her wedding to Prince Harry in 2018.
More recently, a source said Closer that despite Harry and Meghan’s public “attacks” on the company, the monarch still holds a weak corner against them, raising hopes of a reconciliation.
“Despite everything that has happened, Charles has not turned his back on Meghan… he believes that empathy and basic decency should still apply, he believes that Harry, and by extension Meghan, deserves that,” the report said.
