King Charles feels "betrayed" by Meghan Markle
King Charles reportedly feels "betrayed" by Meghan Markle, over her recent comments and interviews discussing the royal family.
According to royal author Christopher Andersen, the firm has felt less than impressed with Meghan's latest comments and accusations against the family.
“Oh, I think they pay attention,” he told US Weekly.
The journalist added that the monarch has been left “bewildered” by his daughter-in-law’s media appearances.
“I think — as far as Charles is concerned, specifically — you know, he feels betrayed,” he said.
“I mean, he really was very fond of her. And I think he’s somewhat bewildered.”
Mr Anderson went on to say that Queen Elizabeth II “was used to handling” the Sussexes, but the King has not had such luck with the emancipated royals.
“I don’t think it threw her as much as it has thrown at Charles, and understandably so, because this is his son and the daughter-in-law who have said some pretty hurtful things,” he said.
Meghan and her husband Prince Harry announced they were stepping down as “senior members of the royal family” in 2020.
Since then, there have been limited engagements in which the Sussexes have joined the royal family, with the most recent being the funeral of Queen Elizabeth.
Following Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's tell-all interview with Oprah in 2021, the Queen released a statement saying, “The whole family is saddened to learn the full extent of how challenging the last few years have been for Harry and Meghan."
“Harry, Meghan and Archie will always be much-loved family members.”
