Prince Charles and Meghan Markle’s relationship
The Prince of Wales and Duchess of Sussex have reportedly hit it off since they first met. And, in many ways, Prince Charles has become Meghan Markle’s rock in her new royal life (especially since her own father has not been helpful in this transition).
Prince Charles is proud of Meghan Markle
It appears that the Prince of Wales has offered his new daughter-in-law lots of support in her early months as a royal. He and the Duchess of Sussex share a true father-daughter bond and Prince Charles is reportedly very proud of her efforts and “impressed by her commitment to charitable causes.”
He walked her down the aisle
After her father backed out at last minute, Prince Charles stepped up to the plate and agreed to walk his new daughter-in-law down the aisle. In the wake of the royal wedding let down, he showed the new duchess that she is like a daughter to him and helped usher her into royal life in a very sweet way.
He cut ties with friends over the duchess
Like most fathers, Prince Charles feels very protective over Meghan Markle. So much so that he has cut ties with certain friends who talked poorly about the duchess. Case in point: Prince Charles’s old friend, Nicky Haslam called Meghan “frightfully common” and then criticized her family, calling her father a “big lump,” and even said her wedding dress seemed to “be made of concrete.” Apparently, Prince Charles defended Meghan Markle and has not associated with him since.

For one, he has expressed feelings of jealousy in the past over the media attention and public love Prince William and Kate Middleton received early on in their marriage. The prince allegedly feared he would become overlooked and secondary to his son.
On top of that, he has caused some upset for Kate Middleton’s parents, Michael and Carole Middleton, as he felt they were the more favored grandparents.
Her first overseas trip disappointed him
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had a wildly successful first overseas trip together. However, that wasn’t the case for Prince William and Kate Middleton. At the time, Prince Charles was apparently upset with the newlyweds as he felt they treated the diplomatic trip as a personal holiday and partook in far too many photo opportunities.
They get along in the public eye
Some believe that the quarrels between Prince Charles and Kate Middleton are simply rumors. Especially since the two appear to get along just fine at royal engagements and family affairs. They are often pictures hugging, kissing on the cheek, smiling, laughing, and even partaking in activities — such as arts and crafts — together.
