King Charles seemingly takes subtle but pointed dig at Prince Harry, Meghan

King Charles seemingly took a subtle dig at his son Prince Harry and daughter-in-law Meghan Markle during his recent US visit.

The monarch spoke several times about “reconciliation” but failed to meet the Duke and Duchess of Sussex during his tour.

In New York, the King, along with Queen Camilla, attended a star-studded King’s Trust International gala, where they met high-profile guests like Anna Wintour and Lionel Richie.

However, Harry and Meghan were not invited despite ongoing speculation about a possible reunion.

During his speeches, Charles highlighted reconciliation in the context of UK–US relations, but many observers pointed out the contrast with his strained relationship with Harry.

According to Radar Online, users claimed on Reddit that Charles “trolled” Harry and Meghan by speaking on reconciliation while snubbing the Sussexes.

"Now they’re just trolling the Harkles. King Charles talks of reconciliation. Just not THAT one," one penned.

Another added, "This royal visit is almost certainly going to tank Harkle prospects even further and faster. It's clear they have no real royal connection.

“Harry might as well not exist," they added.

"Yes, well, the U.S./U.K. relationship is actually valuable. So reconciliation is actually important,” a third added.

“Can't say the same of certain other potential reconciliations, where one particular party is made up of two useless muppets.”

Another wrote, "Now, HE was born to do this work. I hope Haz is taking notes. I am here working, doing the things that I was born to do."
