Despite the difficulties Meghan, Duchess of Sussex confronted while working as a senior royal in the British royal family, she’s always been close with Prince Charles. While Prince William was wary of Meghan because of how swiftly her romance with Prince Harry moved, the duchess was always embraced by Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall.

Though the Sussexes have now resigned from their roles as senior working royals, they still reportedly speak with Prince Charles via video call on a regular basis. Therefore when footage from the prince’s 70th birthday party leaked that showcased Meghan leaving abruptly, fans were alarmed.

Now, a lip-reading expert has revealed the real tea surrounding the duchess‘ dramatic exit.

Inside Meghan Markle and Prince Charles’ relationship

When Prince Harry introduced Meghan to Prince Charles in 2016, the future Crowned King was immediately enamored. “There have been so many traumas and crises within the personal life of the royal family, from the Duke of Windsor onwards,” royal author Angela Levin explained. “And many royal divorces. That’s why the Duchess of Sussex’s troubled family background has endeared her to Charles even more.”

The prince even has his own special nickname for his daughter-in-law. He calls her “Tungsten,” which is a type of strong metal known for its robustness. “Prince Charles admires Meghan for her strength and the backbone she gives Harry, who needs a tungsten-type figure in his life as he can be a bit of a softy,” a royal source told Daily Mail. “It’s become a term of endearment.”

The video of Meghan Markle leaving Prince Charles’ 70th birthday party looks very dramatic

Despite the prince and the duchess’ relationship, royal fans were alarmed recently when rumors from Prince Charles’ 70th birthday garden party from May 2018 surfaced.

In her new book, Meghan and Harry: The Real Story, Lady Colin Campbell claims that Meghan told Prince Harry that she was “bored” after 15 minutes of being at the party and that the couple left abruptly shortly thereafter.

Since the Sussexes delayed their honeymoon to attend the party, Campbell’s theory simply does not add up. Now a lip-reading expert has revealed what really went down.

This is what actually happened at Prince Charles birthday party

Daily Mail‘s lip-reading expert just revealed that there was zero drama between the Sussexes and the royals at Prince Charles’ birthday. According to the expert, Prince Charles approached Prince Harry saying, “We are going now, we have to leave.” Prince Harry replied to his father saying, “You go ahead.” Prince Charles then said, “We will go now…see you later.” Prince Harry concluded his goodbye’s saying, “Yes, catch up…after.”

Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall then approached Meghan saying, “Just coming to say goodbye…we will see you later.” Despite what Campbell says, there “definitely wasn’t any angst” amongst the royals that day.

In fact, Meghan and Camilla have remained very close, as she along with Sophie, Countess of Wessex were the two royals who really helped the duchess during her massive transition into royal life. Hopefully one day, Meghan will be able to tell her story herself.
