Prince Harry Details An Awkward Moment That Made Him ‘Flinch’ When He Introduced Meghan Markle To King Charles

As someone who has always been fascinated by the intricacies of royal life and the human moments that unfold behind closed doors, I find it delightfully refreshing to read about such personal anecdotes from Prince Harry’s memoir, Spare. The incident between his father, King Charles, and Meghan Markle in their early days is a testament to the fact that even royals can have awkward moments.


It’s common for everyone to have their share of awkward or uncomfortable experiences, including royal family members. As per the latest news, Prince Harry has shared a story about an awkward encounter between his wife, Meghan Markle, and his current father, King Charles III.

Based on the accounts, it was during the early stages of their romantic relationship that the Duke of Sussex and the actress found themselves in this situation.

The revelation came in a bombshell memoir Spare, in which Prince Harry has described how he had once introduced Meghan Markle to King Charles and Queen Camilla. 

During a trip to Clarence House, this incident transpired. As per Prince Harry’s account, the initial discussion flowed naturally and relaxed. However, there was a tiny unusual incident that momentarily made things uncomfortable.

According to Prince Harry’s account, his father, Charles, was genuinely keen on discussing Meghan Markle’s rising fame, which originated from her role in the television show “Suits,” with her.

They were both involved in a “soft conversation”, but Camilla seemed more inclined to listen attentively rather than actively participate in the discussion, according to Harry.

Indeed, despite the frequent interactions between King Charles and Meghan Markle, I observed a moment of discomfort as His Majesty and the Queen Consort prepared to depart for another engagement.

According to a report by The Express, as described in the book Spare, Prince Harry shared that the room was filled with discussions on artistic talents and acting abilities.

In his writing, Harry expressed that navigating such a profession could be challenging, as Pa mentioned. He had numerous queries regarding Meg’s job, and was clearly impressed with her responses.

King Charles, it was noted by the monarch, appeared to be intrigued by both the self-assurance and intellect of Meghan Markle.

Yet, as the King prepared to depart, everyone within the room rose simultaneously. It was at this moment that the incident occurred.

In Meg’s direction, she moved closer to Pa. This caused me to startle; much like Willy, Pa wasn’t fond of hugs. Fortunately, she opted for a traditional British air-kiss instead, which surprisingly seemed to please him, as Harry noted in his memoir, Spare.

For those unversed, the King will be celebrating his 76th birthday on November 17, 2024. 

Simultaneously, while the royals typically don’t show public displays of affection frequently, the King surprisingly confessed that he felt touched and moved when he received a warm embrace from the New Zealand women’s rugby team, the Black Ferns.
