PRINCE Charles once "adored" Maeghan MArkle and "treated her like a daughter" a royal expert has claimed.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped down as working royals in a dramatic exit two years ago.
Harry's personal attacks against his father since Megxit have forced them apart and left Charles “deeply shocked and hurt”, sources say.
But royal commentator Ashley Pearson claimed that the Duchess was “welcomed” into the family and “adored” by the Prince of Wales.
Featured in Channel 5’s 2022 documentary, ‘Harry & Meghan Vs The Monarchy’. She said: “Charles famously adored Meghan.
“She was welcomed as a daughter, even more so than Kate Middleton was at the very beginning.”

Meghan & Harry warned of decline in mega deals
A royal expert has claimed that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry could see their “mega-deal” offers have a “sharp decline” if they do not produce some content.
The Sussexes have so far secured lucrative multimillion-pound deals with Netflix and Spotify.
But royal expert Neil Sean has claimed their lack of producing content could lead to a decline in deals.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Mr Sean said: “Let me give you a bit of advice Harry and Meghan, it’s not as simple or as easy you possibly think.”
He added: “If it’s a spectacular success, they are guaranteed even more money but as ever in the fickle world of Hollywood they’re now living in, if it doesn’t resonate with the audience then they can expect a sharp decline in those mega offers and mega deals.”

Prince Harry ‘will attack Camilla’ in book
PRINCE Harry’s upcoming autobiography will blame Camilla for his mental health problems, a royal expert has claimed.
Angela Levin believes the bombshell book, to be released later this year, could be a “spiteful attack” on the future Queen Consort for “stealing” Charles from Diana.
Royal biographer Angela has since said Camilla can expect a bundle of public bad-mouthing in his imminent tome.
Angela, who spent a year with Harry for an authorised biography, told Talk Radio: “Harry‘s memoir is coming out at the end of the year.
“Anyone who is anyone is saying it’s going to attack Camilla and make her responsible for [his] mental health and how she stole his father from his mother.”
Asked about Harry’s relationship with the Duchess of Cornwall, she continued: “When I met him he was very nice about her, said she was a wonderful woman and said he liked her very much.
“Camilla was also very helpful to Meghan when she first joined – took her out for lunch and tried to teach her some of the things she needed to know – the restrictions and the disadvantages as well as the positives.”

Harry and Meghan given ‘brave’ opportunity to win back Brits
The Sussexes have been given an opportunity to win back members of the British public who may have turned their back on them which would require them to be “brave”, a royal journalist explained.
Jonathan Sacerdoti, a royal expert and correspondent said Meghan may not come to the UK “easily” as he believed people had a “low opinion” of her in the country and would require her to be “brave” to face them.
Speaking to Royally US, Mr Sacerdoti discussed the likelihood of Prince Harry and Meghan returning to the UK.
He explained: “I don’t personally imagine Meghan coming to the UK very easily, she may prove me wrong.
“But people here have such a low opinion of her if not both of them these days that I think she’d be very brave to come back to the UK.
“I do still say if they could come back and if they could not be front and centre, keep it quiet, but just come back to help celebrate this milestone for not just the queen but for the whole country.”

Harry’s book could be a form of ‘revenge’
Royal biographer Angela Levin claims that Prince Harry’s book could be a form of “revenge” and be “spiteful” towards the royal family.
Levin added: “Prince Charles is very malleable because he loves Harry very much so he might be more inclined to let him have his way.
“But I think if he reads what he says about Camilla then he won’t do that.”
Last month The Sun revealed Charles had told aides he worries his younger son’s book will be an “excoriating takedown” of his wife — particularly in the early years of their romance.
A source said: “There are concerns about Harry’s recollections of Camilla’s entry into the Royal Family, and how her long-running romance with Charles damaged him from a young age.
“Harry is fiercely loyal and protective of his late mother and her legacy, and didn’t approve of Camilla sweeping in as the great love of his father’s life.
“Understandably he found those early years incredibly difficult, and he might publicly blame Camilla for much of what he believes went wrong in his childhood, and the trauma the whole situation caused.”

Co-host Christina Ross added: “We’re still feeling the repercussions from that today, a year later.
“They still haven’t fleshed out all the issues and accusations and all the claims that were made.

Animal activists 'disappointed' over Harry's rodeo visit
Prince Harry was spotted at a rodeo event in the US over the weekend, and has been criticised by animal activists who branded the move "extremely disappointing".
A spokesperson for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals told the Mirror Prince Harry made a "misjudgment".
The spokesperson said: "In these events, participants use electric prods, flank straps, and spurs to burn, wound, terrorise, and provoke animals who are trying to flee for their lives.
"Animals commonly sustain broken bones, punctured lungs, snapped necks, or torn muscles, and they sometimes die in an arena – and even those who don’t end up scared out of their wits at a slaughterhouse—so anyone who cares about animals should avoid these spectacles of suffering.”

Harry 'humble enough' to not rest
A body language expert has said that Prince Harry's latest appearance at a rodeo in Texas shows he has grown "enormously in confidence" in his life across the pond.
Body language expert Darren Stanton said his casual outfit reflects how 'comfortable he is in his own skin'.
Speaking on behalf of Betfair Casino, Mr Stanton said the Duke's outfit shows he "is humble enough not to just sit back and rest on his Royal connection."
He added: "Participating while wearing a similar dress code to others allows Harry to non-verbally communicate that he can be a relatable figure, as well as provide an avenue for him to build rapport.
"It also displays a trust and confidence in those around him, as he didn’t place himself at a distance. Instead, he’s happy to get stuck in and isn’t afraid to roll up his sleeves both metaphorically and physically in a similar manner to which his mother, Princess Diana, was known to do. "
