Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s reunion with King Charles<\/a> was about meeting his grandchildren and not a surrender, reports claim. The King welcomed Meghan<\/a> and Harry\u2019s children to his Highgrove residence after days of speculation<\/a> over whether the family meeting would take place. The meeting,<\/a> which included Charles, Prince Archie<\/a>, seven, and Princess Lilibet<\/a>, five, is likely to be interpreted as a sign of thawing in<\/a> the relationship<\/a> between the King and Harry<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A royal source is reported to have told journalist, Rob Shuter, as quoted by Sky News Australia<\/a>: “This wasn\u2019t a surrender – it was a grandfather wanting to see his grandchildren. People are confusing compassion with capitulation.” The source added that if Buckingham Palace had wanted the world to see the meeting as a reconciliation, then there would have been a photo of the occasion. They added: “The fact that there wasn\u2019t tells you everything you need to know. The institution didn\u2019t blink. Charles acted as a father and a grandfather, not as the head of the monarchy negotiating terms.” Royal fans were urged<\/a> not to “believe the hype” surrounding the royal reunion.<\/p>\n
