King Charles’ love for his daughter-in-law, Meghan Markle, gave royal fans hope for reconciliation between the royal family and the Sussexes.
The monarch’s genuine love and admiration for Prince Harry’s wife during her time in the palace goes some way to debunking ‘Duchess Difficult’ claims by royal aides.
Exploring the bond between Charles and Meghan, royal writer Russell Myers said the king gave her the nickname “Tungsten” because of her strong personality.
In his book, William & Catherine: The Intimate Inside Storysaid the royal commentator, “he [Charles] was very fond of her, and in the early days found her charming to be with.”
A palace insider said: “Meghan was engaged, polite and clearly in love with her son, so there were certainly no obvious issues 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.
Most recently, a source said Closer to that despite Harry and Meghan’s public ‘attacks’ on the firm, the monarch still has a soft spot for them, raising hopes of reconciliation.
“Despite everything that has happened, Charles has not turned his back on Meghan… he believes empathy and basic decency should still apply, he believes Harry, and by extension Meghan, deserve this,” the report shared.
