Meghan Markle Furious After Prince Charles Reveals Future Plans for Monarchy
It has been a year since Meghan Markle and Prince Harry stepped down from their royal duties and moved to California with their children.
However, discussions about their time as senior royals in Britain's most famous family are still ongoing.
Recently, a royal author revealed that something Prince Charles had planned for the future did not sit well with the Duchess of Sussex, and she was very concerned about what it would mean for her children.
Prince Charles and Meghan were once very close.
The future king became fond of Meghan after she began dating his son, and even agreed to walk her down the aisle on the day she and Harry said “I do.”
Meghan was also believed to be the driving force behind Prince Charles and Prince Harry's improved relationship before she and Harry stepped down.

The Prince of Wales even gave Meghan the nickname “Tungsten” to match the strength and determination she displayed.
However, according to royal biographer Robert Lacey, something Charles planned to do once he became king really angered the Duchess of Sussex.
Prince Charles plans on making several changes when he ascends the throne, including his vision to slim down the monarchy.
Prior to Megxit, only Charles, his wife, his two sons, and their wives were considered senior royals.
Lacey said that Charles' plans to do so were not welcomed by Meghan.
Lacey wrote in his book, “Battle of Brothers,” “in pursuing his own cause of the slimmed-down monarchy, Prince Charles had been making noises about limiting the number of HRHs created by George V's 1917 convention still further, thus cutting out Archie from his future prince ship, and Meghan took that personally.”
This revelation explains why Meghan cried foul during her interview with Oprah Winfrey, where she voiced her frustrations about her son not being given a prince title.
There were more profound issues at stake, Lacey added, referencing Harry's claims during the Oprah interview about Charles freezing him out.
Meghan took Charles' plan personally, and it reportedly upset her.
The media explanation of why Charles had stopped taking Harry's calls was all about money, but there were more profound issues at stake.
Queen Elizabeth II had already signaled who she wants to be the faces of her family when she's gone.
After Meghan and Harry left the firm, many royal fans have since questioned what the new monarchy could look like going forward.
In December 2020, Queen Elizabeth II made it clear when she held a gathering outside Windsor Castle.
She invited Charles, Camilla Parker Bowles, Princess Anne, Prince Edward, his wife Sophie, as well as Prince William and Kate Middleton.
The gathering showcased each of them as the faces of the royal family once her reign is over.
It's no secret that Prince Charles plans on making several changes when he ascends the throne, and one of those changes includes his vision to slim down the monarchy.
Meghan Markle was angered by the multiple changes that her father-in-law has planned for when he takes over the throne after Queen Elizabeth.
This revelation explains why Meghan was concerned about what it would mean for her children.
Meghan Markle and Prince Charles once shared a closer bond than anyone would have expected, until things went downhill.
According to royal historian and author Robert Lacey, the Duchess of Sussex was angered by Charles' plans, which could leave her son out of his future prince ship.
It's not surprising that Meghan cried foul during her interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Prince Charles' plans to slim down the monarchy could have significant implications for the royal family.
Whether or not he sticks to his mother's plan remains to be seen.
However, the revelation that Meghan was concerned about her children's future in the monarchy sheds light on the ongoing discussions surrounding the royal family's future.
