King Charles declined an invitation to Princess Lilibet's christening despite being in touch with Meghan, an explosive new royal book has claimed. The two-year-old, who is the King's youngest grandchild was christened earlier this year in California surrounded by her parents Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and older brother Prince Archie. Her godparents included film producer Tyler Perry but royals including Charles and the Prince and Princess of Wales were not there for the ceremony.
It left royal fans questioning if Harry and Meghan's royal relatives, many of whom have a frosty relationship with the couple, had been invited to the ceremony, which also saw attendees treated to an afternoon of food and dancing. However, new book Endgame by royal biographer Omid Scobie , which has been published in Australia , claims the monarch was indeed invited to celebrate his youngest granddaughter but was unable to find a space in his diary. But despite being unable to be at the celebration, the book also says Harry and Meghan still keep the King "in the loop" about what his youngest grandchildren are up to and send him new photos of the children.
Mr Scobie alleges that contact between the Sussexes and the King is 'infrequent' but the monarch and Meghan did exchange letters in the spring of 2021 in the weeks after her bombshell chat with Oprah Winfrey. Harry and Meghan shocked the world as they sat down for the tell-all interview and opened up about their time in The Firm. During the chat.
