Four years of transatlantic distance cannot be erased in a single afternoon. The long-awaited reunion between Meghan Markle and King Charles on July 10 at Highgrove House was not exactly a picturesque reconciliation for the Duchess of Sussex, according to a prominent royal author. Meghan, 44, joined Prince Harry, 41, and their two children for a private summit with the 77-year-old monarch and Queen Camilla, 79, in Gloucestershire.
In case you missed it, this rare family gathering happened just after Harry wrapped up promotional duties in England for his 2027 Invictus Games. Meghan and the children, seven-year-old Prince Archie and five-year-old Princess Lilibet, had been holidaying in neighbouring Portugal. The family only travelled to the United Kingdom at the very end of Harry's itinerary because the Sussexes were previously denied taxpayer-funded security protection.
