As King Charles looks to the future of the British monarchy, the odds of him offering Meghan Markle and Prince Harry some other risk to be a part of the working royals are looking slim.
"The king’s message in his first speech was clear – he loves Meghan and Harry – however he used to be additionally clear that they’ve chosen a specific life," True Royalty TV co-founder Nick Bullen told Fox News Digital. "They’ve chosen to develop their existence overseas, in the States. He recounted that. His olive department was simply, ‘I love you, you are very much a member of the royal family,’ as the queen said countless years ago. But also made it clear – ‘You’ve made your decision on what you want to do, and I support you in that, however that’s your decision.’"
"I don’t think he will be encouraging them to rejoin the working royals," Bullen continued. "As you know, Harry and Meghan have made it very clear that’s now not a position they want. So I suppose the olive branch is a family olive branch. It’s not an olive department to rejoin the working royals."
Bullen is an award-winning documentarian who has been producing programs about the British royal household for 20 years and has worked closely with King Charles for about a decade.
His subscription provider is launching two specials for streaming: "The Royal Beat: Her Majesty’s Final Journey" and "Recollections: Memories of Her Majesty." Both feature royal specialists and palace insiders weighing in on Elizabeth’s lifestyles and legacy.
Bullen claims that Charles, 73, has been heartbroken over how things have unfolded with the Sussexes over the years.
"The king used to be noticeably welcoming of Meghan when she arrived on the scene," Bullen explained. "The king adores his sons and particularly, he desired Harry to be happy. And he should see how happy Meghan made Harry. So that made the king happy. And by means of the way, it additionally made Camilla very happy. She used to be very welcoming of Meghan as well. The total family tried very tough to encompass her in their circle. The king walked Meghan down the aisle when she married Harry. And that was once something he supplied when Thomas Markle used to be unable to attend the wedding. So I suppose they are all very unhappy that it just didn’t work out. They’re very sad that the Sussexes are living on the different side of the world. And I suppose Charles is sad he doesn’t get to see his grandchildren as a great deal as he would like."
"Moments like what we’ve seen when they all came together for the queen’s funeral must have heightened that sadness," Bullen continued. "It’s in those moments when you comprehend the place the rifts are and how things have been broken. I do think the king, extra than anyone, desires the household to come returned together. There is a sadness that the family isn’t operating the way he would like."
Royal professional Shannon Felton Spence advised Fox News Digital that following the queen’s passing, she wondered if the Sussexes would find a way to heal any rifts.
"I hope that her passing has allowed for a thaw between them and the king," she said. "But once they get returned to their lifestyles in California, the distance might also take over again. Not to mention, Harry’s [upcoming] memoir is allegedly very unflattering about Camilla, and she is now queen consort, the king’s 'darling wife,' and his closest and most trusting adviser."
"I assume the king has been remarkable," said Bullen. "His speech to the kingdom was once impeccable. It was absolutely pitch-perfect. And you know, the way that he and the rest of the royal family operated for the duration of this entire duration has been nothing short of a grasp category in how to exemplify the queen’s work in terms of obligation and service. He is now in Balmoral [where the queen passed] to have some quiet time, to reflect and collect his thoughts. He’s been helping the nation, guiding the state and welcoming world leaders from throughout the globe. But he now wants his non-public time to mourn. He needs this time to replicate on this loss. Up until now, he had to share his grief with the relaxation of the world."
