And the Duchess of Sussex now sees Charles as more of a father figure to her than her own dad, Thomas Markle.
With the Daily Mirror reporting that Meghan has turned to Charles after her relationship with her dad broke down, their sources reveal.
“She sees Charles as a father figure,” a source told the publication.
Duchess Meghan and her father-in-law, Prince Charles have always enjoyed a good relationship.
At Meghan’s wedding to Prince Harry, the Prince of Wales walked his daughter-in-law down the aisle of St George’s Chapel in Windsor, when her own father didn’t attend the ceremony on May 19, 2018.
Thomas Markle said at the time he had to pull out due to issues with his heart.
Meghan is in no rush to reconcile with her father, as a senior royal source told the publication: “Meghan’s overriding view is that there is no place for her father or his extended family in her life right now.
“She has a strong family unit around her in Harry, with their adorable newborn son, and he has been very, very clear that she only wants positive influences for Archie.
“If anything she has developed a strong bond with Harry’s father and has discussed the situation with him.
“She definitely sees Charles as a father figure, a principled man who has had his life played out in the public eye,” the source told the Daily Mirror.
