Tensions between King Charles III and Meghan Markle continue following the latest reports coming from England. A recent update suggests that everything that has been rumored about the Duchess of Sussex is completely true.
One only needs to pay attention to what is happening at King Charles III's home and how Meghan plans to react to it. Her decision will be decisive and will shape the course of family relations.
King Charles III confirms the information about Meghan Markle
The relationship between King Charles III and Meghan Markle has been tense from the beginning. It is not only cold, but almost nonexistent; there is no mutual trust. This is especially true after the Duchess of Sussex revealed her problems with the British royal family in an interview and in her documentary.
Just as there is now talk of a reconciliation between Harry and Charles III, the information about Meghan is confirmed: she is left out. King Charles III himself has admitted it by not taking action to reintegrate Markle into the family. The monarch has kept his distance from his daughter-in-law since she left the palace and intends to continue doing so.
Meanwhile, Meghan also doesn't seem willing to give in. Her life in California with Harry is everything she wanted, and she doesn't plan to return to the strictness imposed by the institution. Duncan Larcombe, an expert on King Charles III's family, confirms this.
"Meghan is probably quite reluctant to come to the United Kingdom," he says. The expert states that any rapprochement between father and son doesn't change Meghan's position. The main reason is that she is unable to forget all the harm that, according to her, was done to her.
Not to mention the "real and genuine threats" that, they point out, she is experiencing along with Harry. Their security in the United Kingdom is not guaranteed, since after leaving the country, all protection paid for by citizens was withdrawn. King Charles III has not lifted a finger to change this situation, which has contributed to Meghan's discomfort.
Meghan Markle sets boundaries with King Charles III
When Harry and Meghan decided to distance themselves from the monarchy in 2020, everything broke down. From that moment on, gestures became distant and painful with King Charles III. Markle has made it clear that she doesn't feel part of the royal family, doesn't want to return, and is not interested in trying.
Although Harry seeks to reconcile with his father, she is not willing to return. She doesn't trust the royal environment. She doesn't feel safe inside the palace.
Since living in California, Meghan has built her life without looking back; she has new projects, new alliances, and a different way of understanding fame. Not even a reconciliation between Harry and King Charles III seems enough to change her position. The decision has been made.
For her, returning would be a betrayal of herself; it would mean going back to a system that rejected her, criticized her, and silenced her when she most needed support. King Charles III has also not made great efforts to approach her, and in his idea of reconciliation, he only thinks of Harry. Meghan is left completely on the sidelines.
While King Charles III represents tradition, silence, and hierarchy, Meghan represents change, autonomy, and exposure. They are polar opposites who can't find common ground that benefits them both.
The question is how Harry will handle all this and whether it will be an obstacle when it comes to making peace with his father. His situation predicts a very complicated future with two key figures in his life.
On one hand, there is the king, affected by a serious illness, and on the other, his wife and the mother of his children. Any step he takes will have consequences that will mark his life forever.
