Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been accused of turning their reunion with King Charles and Queen Camilla last month into a “circus”. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, alongside their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, went to Highgrove on July 10 to reunite with Their Majesties.

While the meeting was kept private, the build-up and rumours about whether it would take place have been criticised by royal author Robert Jobson. This is because it happened at around the same time as lots of political upheaval in the UK Government, including Andy Burnham’s bid to become Prime Minister. Mr Jobson argued this is what King Charles’ should have been in the news for – not whether Harry and Meghan were “coming for tea”.
Speaking on Royally Unfiltered to host Kinsey Schofield, Jobson said: “It made it all so trivial. It’s (the monarch) a very important political and powerful role, and it’s just been turned into a circus by Harry and Meghan, and for their own benefit.”
