In the ever-evolving dynamics of the British Royal Family, King Charles III's approach towards Meghan Markle and Prince Harry has been a topic of considerable interest. Recent reports suggest that the King has adopted a 'passive-aggressive' tone when addressing matters related to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

Analysts have noted that the King's public statements wishing Meghan and Harry well might be a subtle way of highlighting the couple's challenges post their royal exit. This observation comes in the wake of the Sussexes' recent acquisition of the rights to Carley Fortune's romance novel, Meet Me at the Lake, as part of their Netflix deal. The purchase, reportedly exceeding $3 million, was seen by many as a significant move, signaling the couple's intent to establish a strong foothold in Hollywood. However, not all are convinced of its potential impact. Journalist Kirsten Fleming, for instance, opined that this acquisition merely "underscores their narcissism."

King Charles III's relationship with his youngest son and daughter-in-law has been a subject of much speculation. While he was once believed to be one of the few senior royals still in communication with the couple, recent developments suggest a shift. The King's focus seems to be gravitating towards working royals who are committed to supporting his reign. Royal author Christopher Andersen shared insights on this, stating, "King Charles will surround himself with those people he feels he can trust and rely on to do the heavy lifting: Queen Camilla, Princess Anne, Prince Edward and his wife, Sophie, and, of course, the real stars of the show these days, Prince William, Kate Middleton, and their three children."

Unlike his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, King Charles does not appear keen on indulging the Sussexes, who now reside thousands of miles away in California. Instead of directly confronting their public relations efforts against the monarchy, the King seems to be perfecting the art of delivering back-handed comments.

The broader question remains: How will the relationship between the Sussexes and the British Royal Family evolve? And as King Charles III settles into his role, how will he navigate the challenges and opportunities that come with leading a monarchy in the modern age? Only time will tell.
