Off The Record
Meghan Markle’s Secret Letter To King Charles Revealed – His Reply Shocked Her
In the US, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have started a new life. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex left the royal family many years ago, but the fallout completely stunned them.
The royal family was accused by Harry and Meghan of doubting Archie’s skin tone before he was even born. They made numerous additional charges and personal assaults in their highly charged Oprah interview and in Harry’s book Spare.
Without a doubt, the royals’ relationship with the Sussexes is at an all-time low. Harry was present during King Charles’ coronation, but other than that, nothing seems to have changed between him and William, for example.
Amidst all of this, it is stated that Charles made every effort to support Meghan and that he was the sole royal to get in touch with her and Harry following the Oprah interview.
Sadly, Meghan disclosed that she had attempted suicide as a working royal, and Charles had written her a letter about it. Meghan wasn’t happy with the then-prince’s response, though, and rumors had it that it had a significant impact on a major choice.
Harry and Meghan’s history is extensive. After meeting at a tennis tournament in London in 2016, the pair started dating, and love quickly blossomed. However, a few of Meghan’s pals already thought she wouldn’t be content with him before they got married.

Meghan disclosed in a 2019 ITV interview that some of her friends had even advised her against marrying Harry due to the impending media attention she would be subjected to.
“It’s hard. I don’t think anybody can understand that. In all fairness, I had no idea, which probably sounds difficult to understand, but when I first met Harry, my friends were so excited, my US friends were happy because I was happy,” Meghan said.
“But my British friends, they were sure he was lovely, but they said I shouldn’t do it because ‘the British tabloids will destroy your life.’ Because I’m American, I very naively didn’t get it. It’s complicated.”
The Duchess added: “I never thought that this would be easy, but I thought it would be fair, and that’s the part that’s really hard to reconcile.” She continued: “I’ve said for a long time to H – that’s what I call [Harry] – it is not enough to just survive something. That’s not the point of life. You’ve got to thrive and feel happy.”
“I really tried to adopt this British sensibility of a stiff upper lip. I tried, I really tried. But I think what that does internally is probably really damaging,” she added.
Harry and Meghan were married in a lavish wedding at St. George’s Chapel on May 19, 2018.
It was evident at the time that Meghan had been accepted by the royal family. especially King Charles, who showed the Duchess such generosity during the event despite the fact that her father was not invited.
Meghan was escorted by King Charles down the aisle during her wedding
Robert Hardman, a royal biographer, claims that Charles asked Meghan whether she wanted him to lead her down the aisle. Hardman stated in Queen of Our Times: The Life of Elizabeth II that Charles received a prompt response, but it wasn’t what he had anticipated.
Meghan actually caught the now-King off guard when she asked to meet her halfway down the aisle. She desired to enter the chapel alone and make her grand entrance.
“Feeling for his future daughter-in-law, the Prince of Wales offered to step in, saying he would be honored to escort Meghan up the aisle of St George’s Chapel to the altar. The reply, according to one friend, was not quite what he was expecting: ‘Can we meet halfway?’” Hardman wrote.
“Here was an indicator that this was no blushing bride, but a confident, independent woman determined to make a grand entrance on her own.”
In the BBC documentary Prince, Son, and Heir (2018), Harry mentioned his father’s willingness to accompany his wife on her wedding day. At first, Harry claimed to have approached his father about it, and Charles had given his approval right away.
“I asked him to and I think he knew it was coming, and he immediately said, ‘Yes, of course, I’ll do whatever Meghan needs and I’m here to support you.’” Harry recalled.
“For him, that’s a fantastic opportunity to step up and be that support, and you know, he’s our father, so of course, he’s going to be there for us.”
Regarding Archie’s skin tone, Meghan Markle revealed that a “unnamed royal” made a comment.
In the year after their departure, Harry and Meghan started verbally attacking the royal family—something few could have expected on their wedding day.
Meghan said she had been mistreated in the now-famous Oprah Winfrey interview. She even said that The Firm, as they refer to itself, had failed to assist her while she was having mental health issues.
In the meantime, the Duchess disclosed a number of startling details during her chat with Oprah, such as how a nameless royal made a remark regarding Archie’s skin tone.
“In those months when I was pregnant, all around this same time. So we have in tandem the conversation of ‘he won’t be given security, he’s not going to be given a title’ and also concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he’s born,” Meghan Markle recalled.
Meghan believed she had to put up with a lot of sexism, racism, and abuse from the media as a working royal. Her mental state declined, although as previously said, she felt unsupported by the members of the royal family.
Meghan experienced enough of it to become suicidal.
“I just didn’t see a solution. I would sit up at night, and I was just, like, I don’t understand how all of this is being churned out. And, again, I wasn’t seeing it, but it’s almost worse when you feel it through the expression of my mom or my friends, or them calling me crying, just, like, ‘Meg, they’re not protecting you’. And I realized that it was all happening just because I was breathing,” she explained.
“I was really ashamed to say it at the time and ashamed to have to admit it to Harry, especially, because I know how much loss he’s suffered. But I knew that if I didn’t say it, that I would do it. And I just didn’t want to be alive anymore. And that was a very clear and real and frightening constant thought,” Meghan added.
Meghan did not witness the coronation of King Charles
“And I remember how he just cradled me. I went to the institution, and I said that I needed to go somewhere to get help. I said that, ‘I’ve never felt this way before, and I need to go somewhere’. And I was told that I couldn’t, that it wouldn’t be good for the institution.”
The Sussexes’ relationship with the royal family rapidly soured, and many members of The Firm were incensed by the accusations leveled against them.
According to reports, Princess Eugenie is the only royal who has gone to California to see Harry, Meghan, and their two kids, Archie and Lilibet. In the meantime, Harry and Meghan have only made the occasional trip back to the UK; the Duchess visited her former homeland just once, in 2022, for Queen Elizabeth II’s death.
One of the major themes that generated a lot of curiosity during King Charles’ coronation in Westminster Abbey last May was whether Harry and Meghan would attend or even be welcomed.
The king would ultimately determine whether or not the two would be welcomed, even though at that point they had lost the trust of the majority of the royal family.
Ultimately, Harry made the decision to travel to see his father’s coronation, while Meghan remained in the US to take care of Archie and Lilibet.
Perhaps it was not a huge surprise that Harry attended the coronation. But he departed for the airport and came back to his wife soon after the wedding. There are rumors that certain royals were relieved that Harry did not attend the coronation meal with them.
They even imagined that Harry and Meghan would sit far back in Westminster Abbey, far away from the other members of the family, had she shown up.
Meghan Markle wrote Charles a letter following her appearance on Oprah
As previously stated, Meghan Markle remained in the US to care for their two children. But given that Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland, is known to assist her with the children when things become hectic, is there another possible explanation for Meghan’s failure to accompany her husband to the UK?
There is, according to a story published in April of last year by The Telegraph. Meghan chose to write a letter to Prince Charles expressing her worries about unconscious bias following the Oprah interview.
Later, King Charles—who was then a prince—choosed to reply to Meghan in which he lamented the conflicts in the family, particularly those between Harry and Meghan and the other members of The Firm.
Charles was also thought to be the sole senior royal relative to get in touch with the Duchess following the Oprah interview.
New information surfaced in the Telegraph piece, including Meghan’s admission to Charles that her intention was to talk about unconscious bias rather than to charge the royal family with racism.
There were rumors that Meghan Markle wouldn’t be at the coronation. Rumor had it that the Duchess was upset that Charles had not addressed her worries over the unconscious bias in his letter, which was the actual reason she had shown there today.
A representative for Meghan Markle denied any coronation rumors.
Later on, a representative for Meghan refuted the rumors, calling them “ridiculous.”
“The Duchess of Sussex is going about her life in the present, not thinking about correspondence from two years ago related to conversations from four years ago. Any suggestion otherwise is false and frankly ridiculous. We encourage tabloid media and various royal correspondents to stop the exhausting circus that they alone are creating,” Meghan’s spokesperson told People Magazine.
Harry made the decision to confront the issue of claimed racism among the royal family in an ITV interview in early 2023, telling the interviewer that they did not feel they were.
“No,” Harry said. “The British press said that, right? Did Meghan ever mention ‘they’re racists?’”
“The difference between racism and unconscious bias… the two things are different. Once it’s been acknowledged or pointed out to you as an individual, otherwise an institution, that you have unconscious bias, you, therefore, have an opportunity to learn and grow from that… otherwise, unconscious bias then moves into the category of racism,” he added.
How do you feel about this? Do you think Harry and Meghan went too far in their accusations, or do you think they have done the right thing?
