King Charles has a surprising nickname for Meghan Markle that suggests his true feelings towards her.
Ever since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle decided to step back from their roles as senior royal family members in 2020, controversy has surrounded them. Despite moving to California, attempting to steer clear of royal responsibilities and intense media examination, they remain under the public eye.
Their story became more public after the couple’s revealing interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021. One of the shocking claims was about discussions within the royal family concerning the potential skin color of their first child.
Even though Prince Harry later clarified that neither Queen Elizabeth II nor Prince Philip were involved in those conversations, the couple has chosen not to disclose the identity of the individual who made these comments.
Prince Harry expressed regret regarding the royal family’s inaction in addressing the ‘colonial undertones’ found in the media’s coverage of Markle. This lack of support was hurtful for him.
Numerous female Members of Parliament spoke against Markle’s biased treatment, yet his family stayed mute.
This lack of family support was painful for him. The couple also voiced their frustrations about the UK press, labeling it ‘bigoted’ and accusing it of creating an environment dominated by ‘control and fear,’ as reported by the BBC.
Before stepping away from royal duties, Prince Harry had already publicly criticized the media over its treatment of Meghan Markle. Shortly after their relationship was disclosed in November 2016, Kensington Palace circulated a statement on Prince Harry’s behalf.
The declaration criticized the racial innuendos present in some commentaries and the harassment Markle endured, encompassing privacy invasions and relentless attempts to uncover her past.
Concerned for Markle’s safety, Prince Harry expressed his frustration, stating this is not a mere game—it’s about both her life and his.
In his book “Spare,” Prince Harry noted that this announcement reportedly upset King Charles and Prince William, as they felt it presented them negatively for not defending their own partners similarly.
According to Newsweek, the specific link to this statement was live until December 3, 2023, but had been taken down by December 10. The reasons behind its removal remain uncertain.
King Charles’ unique nickname for Markle recently came to light, adding an intriguing layer to family dynamics.
This nickname, which appreciated her strength, was allegedly used during a period when he seemed to be her advocate.
In the couple’s Netflix documentary, Markle shared a heartfelt moment about King Charles accompanying her down the aisle at her wedding in place of her absent father. She described him as ‘very charming’ and expressed how integral his role was on that significant day.
Unfortunately, the relationship between Markle and the royal family has since soured. Recent news suggests that Prince Harry is trying to mend ties with his father, Charles, especially following Charles’ recent health scare.
While Harry appears keen on bringing his children, Archie and Lilibet, to visit, Markle reportedly feels uneasy about returning to the UK, given the previous discord.
Yet, as once noted by royal author Katie Nicholl, Charles affectionately referred to Markle as ‘Tungsten,’ a metaphor for her perceived strength and resilience during her early royal days.
