While Charles was reportedly disappointed by the timing, he still “understood” that Harry and Meghan needed to share the news of their relationship.
Over time, Charles’s relationship with Meghan grew stronger. She became his daughter-in-law, and he even walked her down the aisle after she chose not to invite her father. According to palace insider Charlotte Griffiths, he affectionately nicknamed Meghan “Tungsten”—after the chemical element with the highest melting point. Griffiths explained that Charles admired Meghan’s strength and resilience, seeing her as the backbone Harry needed in his life. The nickname became a term of endearment, reflecting respect and appreciation.
From surprise meetings to heartfelt admiration, the dynamic between King Charles and Meghan shows a mix of royal protocol and personal connection.
