Meghan Markle is claimed
to have requested a “one-to-one audience” with the new King before returning to
California after the Queen’s funeral.
Neil Sean, a royal
broadcaster, described the move as a “very brave” one on the Duchess of
Sussex’s behalf and suggested it showed her to be the natural “leader” of her
relationship with Prince Harry.
The couple had been in London
as part of a European tour when news of the Queen’s declining health broke
earlier in the month.
The Duke of Sussex rushed up
to Aberdeenshire alongside other members of the royal family hours before
Elizabeth II’s death was announced, and the two have since remained in the UK
for the funeral yesterday.
The two stepped back from
full-time royal duties two years ago, to move to the US, and have since reportedly
had a fractious relationship with the rest of the Firm.
With the Queen’s death
appearing to prompt a conciliatory mood among members of the royal family, the
Duchess of Sussex is said to have wanted another opportunity to “clear the
air”.
