A new claim from royal biographer Tom Bower suggests that the relationship between\u00a0King Charles\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Meghan Markle\u00a0<\/strong>was more complicated than many believed. In his book \u201cRevenge,\u201d Bower writes that\u00a0Charles\u00a0once appeared close to his daughter-in-law. However, according to the author, the monarch \u201cnever really understood her or what she wanted.\u201d<\/p>\n The\u00a0Daily Mail<\/a>\u00a0reported excerpts from Tom Bower\u2019s \u201cRevenge,\u201d highlighting the relationship between King Charles and Meghan Markle. According to Bower, tension began to show during a family visit to the Castle of Mey in 2018, where Charles and Camilla hosted the Duke and Duchess of Sussex shortly after their wedding.<\/p>\n Reports at the time painted a picture of cozy family walks and meals. However, the royal author claims that the reality was much more strained. Bower wrote that Charles grew frustrated over\u00a0Markle\u2019s refusal to speak with her father, Thomas Markle, whose public criticism of the royal family had become a source of embarrassment.<\/p>\n Moreover, Bower detailed that Charles confronted Harry. He reportedly asked his son, \u201cCan\u2019t she just go and see him and make this stop?\u201d and the situation brought to light how differently each side viewed the growing fallout. Markle felt that her in-laws \u201cfundamentally don\u2019t understand\u201d her situation. Meanwhile, Charles and the late Queen Elizabeth were reportedly perplexed by the duchess\u2019 reluctance to reconcile.<\/p>\n The book also described how Queen Camilla had her own reservations about Markle. According to Bower, she found Markle\u2019s charm a \u201cperformance\u201d and sensed that the American actor would struggle with the expectations of royal life. Additionally, Camilla reportedly believed Markle was not the kind of person who would \u201csacrifice her independence to serve silently as a team-player.\u201d<\/p>\n Less than two years after the trip,\u00a0Harry and Markle<\/a>\u00a0stepped down as working royals and relocated to California. Bower\u2019s account painted a picture of a family trying to connect across cultural and personal differences \u2014 and of Charles, who, despite good intentions, allegedly never truly understood his daughter-in-law, Markle.<\/p>\n Originally reported by Ishika Mishra on Reality Tea<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n The post King Charles Didn\u2019t Know What Meghan Markle Wanted \u2014 Author<\/a> appeared first on Mandatory<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A new claim from royal biographer Tom Bower suggests that the relationship between\u00a0King Charles\u00a0and\u00a0Meghan Markle\u00a0was more complicated than many believed.
