Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's Kids Recorded a Birthday Message for King Charles

Earlier this week, King Charles celebrated his 75th birthday — and while  prince Harry didn't cross the Atlantic for the festivities, The Telegraph  reports that he and Meghan Markle 's children, Prince Archie, 4, and Princess Lilibet, 2, sent the monarch a sweet message to commemorate the milestone. Harry and Charles had a "transatlantic phone call" on the day and the outlet notes that it was a "warm conversation," despite reports that the two had grown apart in the wake of Spare. 

The Telegraph adds that this call was a "turning point" for the father-son duo and that there are additional calls on the schedule for next week, giving royal fans some hope that there could be reconciliation between the king and the Duke of Sussex. As for the video call from the kiddos, the publication explained that Archie and Lilibet sang "Happy Birthday" to their grandfather and that Meghan also spoke with him on his big day.

The Telegraph also shared that the call and the apparent warmth between the Sussexes and the royal family resulted in "a weight lifted from [the King's] shoulders."

However, it's not all sunshine and rainbows across the pond. In his new book, Endgame, royal expert Omid Scobie wrote that ‘’there’s no going back" when it comes to Harry and his brother Prince William's relationship. 

“Absolutely nothing has changed,” Scobie told people  of the brothers' fractured relationship. “I saw Harry’s release of Spare as his last attempt at telling his family how he’s felt for years. Because clearly, there’s never been an open enough forum to have these conversations or share these feelings.”

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry "Will Not Be Broken" Over Recent Backlash "They’re still here.”

 

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are used to the haters, so a little criticism over their recent rebrand isn't going to tear them down. Earlier this week, the couple revealed their new website,  Sussex.com which was met with some backlash as naysayers accused them of trying to reclaim their royal titles and status.

A representative for the duke and duchess reportedly toldThe Mirror  that the couple isn't too concerned about the recent slandering since they have yet to be defeated by the obstacles they've already faced in both their personal and professional lives.

“We’ve heard time and time again that certain opportunities are make or break for the couple," the rep stated. "They’re still here.”

They’re still working and pursuing what they believe in despite constantly being challenged and criticized,” the insider continued. “This couple will not be broken.”

The new website will be a vehicle for Meghan and Harry to relay news to their fans, as well as a central destination for Archewell Foundation and Archewell Productions. Currently, both the duke and duchess have bio pages, and the homepage features an image of the couple, a graphic containing both Meghan's coat of arms and Harry's crest, and the words "The Office of Prince Harry & Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex."

While the couple officially gave up their His/Her Royal Highness titles when they took a step back from their royal duties in 2020, they are still permitted to be referred to as duke and duchess. They've also changed the last name of their kids Archie and Lilibet to Sussex instead of Mountbatten-Windsor.

 

Just last week, Harry flew to the U.K. for 24 hours to visit his father, King Charles, in light of his cancer diagnosis. Harry and Meghan are currently in Canada at the 2025 Invictus Games One Year to Go event, during which Harry spoke with Good Morning America about his trip to see Charles.

 

“Look, I love my family," Harry said. "The fact that I was able to get on a plane and go and see him and spend any time with him — I’m grateful for that."
