Meghan Markle is hurt as she does not feel welcomed by the royal family in the UK.

The Duchess of Sussex feels father-in-law King Charles and people in his circle have not fully accepted the fact that she is now living in the UK alongside husband Prince Harry.

An insider tells Heat World: “Charles hot-footed it off to Scotland when they arrived which didn’t exactly send a warm welcome. She wasn’t expecting a tea party or anything official, but it would’ve been nice to have some sort of signal from Charles that he was happy to have his son and grandchildren back in town.

They note: “Plenty of people have reached out to welcome them; they’ve had all sorts of nice messages, especially from the Spencers, but Meghan’s still got this underlying feeling that they are not really welcomed by anyone within the King’s circle.”

LShe says it seems pretty clear that they’re going to have to fight for every single bit of face time with His Majesty and anyone else in his orbit. It’s what Meghan expected but it’s still a huge disappointment because Harry has been promising her it would be so much different,” reveals the source.
