Meghan Markle is reportedly “not comfortable” with royal rules, including the way King Charles wants to heal the rift with the Sussex family privately. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who reunited with King Charles and Queen Camilla earlier this month, met Their Majesties at Highgrove for the top-secret reunion with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
No information following the meeting was shared, apart from the fact it happened, and no photographs have been posted. A royal historian has now spoken about the monarch’s wish to heal the relationship privately between himself and the couple after years of ups and downs. Royal historian Marlene Koenig told the Mirror: “It is inevitable that Harry would want to spend more time in his homeland with his children. Meghan’s perceptions of the UK have been diluted by the perceived behavior against her. But Harry wants his kids to connect with the UK and, perhaps, with family.
“The trust issue is serious. However, the fact that Charles and the Palace apparently took control of the Highgrove meeting – and there have been no leaks – is a sign that Charles wants to heal this relationship privately. Meghan was not comfortable with all the rules. William was right to advise Harry to take his time and not rush into marriage.”
Meghan Markle shared some holiday photographs from her time in Portugal and the UK this month, and there is one surprising detail people may have missed. In the photographs, Meghan could be seen enjoying time with her husband Prince Harry, and their children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
However, it seems that they are not the only people Meghan enjoyed special summer holiday memories with. This is because one photograph shared by the duchess shows Meghan with her beagle Mamma Mia by a swimming pool. In the background, two people can be seen on sun loungers.

Prince Harry makes a surprise public appearance close to Montecito without Meghan Markle
Prince Harry has made a surprise public appearance this week close to his Montecito mansion. The Duke of Sussex spent a day with One805, a non-profit organisation that helps to support the mental health of first responders in the Santa Barbara County, to share his advice and wisdom about mental health.
The duke was all smiles at the event, which he attended without his wife Meghan Markle. He took part in an hour-long “lively” discussion where he spoke with first responders, and those who support them, about trauma, pressure and mental wellness. It is believed to be something he feels strongly about.
The Prince and Princess of Wales had to come up with a genuine plan to avoid any blunders during their departure from the hospital with their firstborn son, Prince George. Prince George, who this week celebrated his 13th birthday, was born on July 22, 2013, at St Mary’s Hospital in London and the royal couple presented the young prince to the world’s media waiting outside the Lindo Wing of the hospital just days later.
Prince William said his son had a “good set of lungs” and joked that George already had more hair than he did. But the pair had practised their exit several times beforehand to ensure a smooth departure. The Princess of Wales revealed on Giovanna Fletcher’s podcast, “Happy Mum, Happy Baby”, in 2020 that she and William had even used a doll to practice before putting the newborn prince in a car seat to avoid any embarrassment.

Last week, reports emerged that King Charles had opened the doors of Highgrove for a long-awaited reunion with Prince Harry, Meghan Markle and his grandchildren. While the meeting understandably dominated headlines, it was what happened afterwards that caught my attention.
Once upon a time, every Sussex story came with an inevitable second act. Buckingham Palace would announce an engagement, a state visit or a major royal milestone, only for the conversation to swing straight back to Harry, 41, and Meghan, 44.
The monarchy often found itself trapped in a seemingly endless cycle where every headline about the Royal Family eventually became another episode in what was beginning to feel like The Sussex Show.
That, however, feels to be changing.

Prince Harry reveals secret Buckingham Palace room he was banned from until age 33
Buckingham Palace has a whopping 775 rooms, with 52 luxurious royal and guest bedrooms, 19 grand State rooms, a staggering 188 staff bedrooms, 92 offices and more bathrooms than you could ever need, with 78 in residence.
Royalists flock from around the world to get a glimpse inside the palace when it opens to the public in summer, so you may expect the Royal Family would love to explore the chambers that nobody else has access to. However, Prince Harry revealed that he had never been inside one of the rooms until he was aged 33.
The late Queen Elizabeth II kept one space private until one special day when Prince Harry was granted access, as he revealed in his memoir, Spare.

Prince Harry reveals the one thing he loves most about being British
Prince Harry has lived in the US since stepping down from his royal duties in 2020, but even from across the pond, the prince still has a fond love for his country. Harry says “banter” in pubs and sports grounds, and a spirit of good-humoured “self-deprecation” is one of the best things about UK culture.
Last November, Harry wrote a reflection on his country in an essay that was published ahead of Remembrance events. The essay examined what it means to be British, with the prince highlighting some of his favourite aspects of life as a Brit. He penned: “The banter of the mess, the clubhouse, the pub, the stands – ridiculous as it sounds, these are the things that make us British. I make no apology for it. I love it.”
Queen Camilla may not be Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s biggest fan, and rightly so, but reports suggest she rushed to Highgrove earlier this month to join King Charles in reuniting with them. On July 10, it was reported that Their Majesties hosted Harry and Meghan, alongside their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, at Highgrove.
No other details were given. This surprised many, not only because the prospect of a reunion seemed to be up in the air, but also because Meghan, Archie and Lilibet had not joined Harry for the rest of his UK visit. This was believed to be because of security concerns. While the monarch has met with his youngest son over the last few years, it is believed Camilla has never been present.

Meghan Markle made ‘good move’ in the UK – and it saved her from utter ‘ridicule’
Meghan Markle reportedly made a “good” decision not to make public appearances in the UK earlier this month, a brand and culture expert has said. Just weeks ago, Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, visited Britain with their children, Prince Archie, seven, and Princess Lilibet, five.
While Harry was in the UK for almost a week, carrying out public engagements and being spotted by the public, this wasn’t the case for his wife and children. This is because they flew into Britain later in the week for private family time only. Some people were disappointed by this, as Meghan was initially expected to make some public appearances, but plans changed after it was revealed that the family would not receive taxpayer-funded armed police protection.
