Prince Harry's meeting with King Charles will have an 'elephant in the room', insider says

Prince Harry's upcoming meeting with Prince Charles could be overshadowed by the absence of Meghan Markle, who has been dubbed the 'elephant in the room' by a royal commentator.

The Duke of Sussex is set to arrive in London next week for a three-day visit, during which he will attend an event marking the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games.

Insiders have claimed that Prince Charles plans to meet with his estranged son during his visit. Yet, Royal author Tom Quinn suggests that Meghan's decision to skip the UK trip may not sit well with the Royal Family.

Quinn said: "Meghan's no-show in the UK will just confirm the Royal family's view that the breach is permanent."

Quinn told the Mirror.: "Harry's loyalty is entirely to his wife; if she blames the royal family for the breach then so does he. Without the Invictus Games, there's no way Harry would have come to the UK at all."

The expert believes that when Harry meets with his father and potentially his brother, they will avoid discussing Meghan.

He said: "When Harry meets his father and if he meets his brother, there will be one subject that doesn't get mentioned: Meghan. As one Kensington Palace insider put it, with a grin, 'Meghan is going to be the elephant in the room'."

The comments come amid suggestions Meghan has her "eye on politics" and that top Democrats "endorse". https://www.the-express.com/news/royals/136361/meghan-markle-politics-democrats-prince-harry

President Joe Biden's own sister, Valerie Biden Owens, has even reportedly "endorsed" Meghan as a "potential candidate" one day.

In an interview with Good Morning Britain in May 2022, Biden Owens said: "It's wonderful to have women in politics. The more women we have, the better our democratic system will work with a better point of view, a different point of view, and we embrace all women.

"We welcome [Meghan] to come in and join the Democratic Party."
