When he is eventually crowned in just over two weeks, King Charles will be surrounded by his close family. But several key relatives will be missing from the Westminster Abbey congregation - his daughter-in-law Meghan Markle and his two youngest grandchildren Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

It marks what appears to be a change in their bond, which seems to have started on a positive note, with the pair even sharing several of the same interests.
