Meghan Markle wants to establish herself as part of the royal family

Meghan Markle is secretly seeking approval from King Charles with her latest social media update.

The Duchess of Sussex, who posted her wedding anniversary photos on Instagram eight years after her ceremony with Prince Harry, wants to show that she still part of the Royal Family.

“Meghan doesn’t do anything without purpose, so she’s sending a message, isn’t she?,” claims royal expert Ingrid Seward.

“The message is, ‘We’re still very much part of your family.’ That’s what Harry and Meghan need because I don’t think they knew when they cut themselves off – with Harry’s book and the Oprah interview – just how alienated they were going to be.

“The relationship Meghan and Charles had at the beginning meant a lot to Meghan. Charles was very caring towards her, and although he is said to have nicknamed her ‘Tungsten’, I think he saw through that and saw her as quite vulnerable."

She continues: “He also thought that if he brought her closer rather than push her away, he would be more in control of anything she might potentially do."
