When Meghan Markle officially became the Duchess of Sussex, it was King Charles who played a major role in welcoming her into the Royal Family, walking her down the aisle on her wedding day.
Meghan often spoke in glowing terms about her father-in-law, but a new report has claimed that their once-close relationship is an utterly different state today.
A source claims that the pair have absolutely no contact now, and that a “sticking point” in Charles’s relationship with Meghan and his youngest son Prince Harry has been the Duke of Sussex’s decision to launch legal action against the UK Government for removing his official police security, which is taxpayer funded.
“Harry’s decision to sue the King’s government in the King’s courts is the sticking point, I am told,” wrote Kate Mansey for The Times. “Harry is challenging a decision by Ravec, the Royal and VIP Executive Committee, which decides what security is provided for the royal family and other VIPs. The royal household is represented on the committee and would have had a seat at the table when the decision was made to remove Harry’s automatic right to police protection in Britain.
The expert also noted that “It places the King in a tricky position because Harry has been granted leave to appeal. Until the case is concluded, there is little Charles feels he can say to his son. As for Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, there is no communication with the King and Queen.”
This is a far cry from the warm relationship Charles and Meghan once shared, which Harry detailed extensively in his bombshell memoir Spare. According to Harry, when Meghan and Charles first met they got on well, and his father was “impressed” by Meghan when they first met.
