The royal insiders have revealed Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s secret weapon to get closer to King Charles days after their reunion in Britain.

According to a report by the Us Weekly, King Charles agreed to meet the California-based royal couple due to Archie and Lilibet.

The insiders said Meghan and Harry could use their children to improve their ties with King Charles and other senior royals.

The source claimed to the outlet, King Charles and Queen Camilla wanted one-on-one time with Archie, 7, and Lilibet, 5.

In fact, one insider told Us Weekly the monarch "would only agree to the meeting if the kids were coming.”

The source said, "The king and queen wanted personal time with their grandchildren, and they wanted it to be lighthearted and positive.

“The point of the meeting was to spend time with them, and that was the only thing on the agenda."

Moreover, the close insider said, "The staff was dismissed before Harry and Meghan and the kids arrived. Details were kept under wraps. They didn’t want anything to get out."

King Charles and Camilla reunited with Harry, his wife Meghan and their two children on July 10 at Highgrove estate in western England.

It was Charles first meeting with Archie and Lilibet since 2022.
