It's been an emotional year for the royal family. Queen Elizabeth's passing and funeral in September was followed by Harry and Meghan's bombshell claims and Netflix docu-series. However, it is King Charles' response that has made headlines now.
One royal expert has hailed the monarch as "totally outplaying" the Duke and Duchess of Sussexes' move to air their grievances via the show. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's six-part Netflix show concluded on December 15, but not before laying claims of bullying, lies and 'screaming' at the palace's door.
Many speculated that after the show, and the prospect of Harry's book, which is due to be released in January 2023, would mean there would be 'no way back' into royal life for the couple. However, new reports paint a different picture.
