“‘Archie inherited a bad trait from his grandfather Charles’ – Meghan admits on American television, angering the royal family: ‘He is not the prince of the UK…’”

Meghan Sparks Royal Outrage After Saying Archie “Inherited a Bad Trait” from King Charles

In yet another moment of royal controversy, Meghan Markle has once again sent shockwaves through Buckingham Palace. During a recent appearance on a popular American talk show, the Duchess of Sussex made a surprising comment about her son, Archie, that has infuriated senior members of the Royal Family.

Speaking casually during the interview, Meghan shared personal reflections about parenting, mentioning that her 6-year-old son Archie has “picked up a trait from his grandfather Charles that’s not exactly a positive one.” Though she didn’t go into specific detail, Meghan laughed and described it as “a royal habit that can be… let’s just say, frustrating at times.”

While Meghan may have intended the remark to be humorous or light-hearted, royal insiders did not find it amusing. Sources close to the palace claim that King Charles was “deeply hurt” by the comment, which many interpreted as a public insult.

“This is not the first time the Sussexes have chosen to air private family matters on American television,” one royal insider commented. “But dragging King Charles into a joke about their child’s behavior crosses a line. It’s unnecessary and disrespectful.”

The situation escalated further when Meghan allegedly followed up the remark by emphasizing, “Archie isn’t the Prince of the UK — he’s being raised differently, away from that system.” This comment appeared to directly challenge royal titles and traditions, reinforcing the Sussexes’ distance from the monarchy.

Although Archie was entitled to the title of Prince following the accession of King Charles to the throne, Harry and Meghan chose not to give him a formal title, citing a desire to allow him a more private and normal life. Still, Meghan’s tone during the interview — particularly when speaking of the royal family and British traditions — reignited debate about the family’s long-standing grievances with “The Firm.”

Reaction from British media and royal commentators was swift and harsh. Some accused Meghan of once again using the royal family as a talking point to stay relevant in U.S. media. Others saw her comments as a deliberate jab at King Charles, especially as he deals with ongoing health issues.

“What’s most troubling,” said royal expert Robert Kensington, “is the casual way in which Meghan dismisses not just King Charles, but also the very heritage her son is part of. It may play well to an American audience, but it alienates the family even further.”

At this time, no official statement has been made by Buckingham Palace, though sources say discussions behind closed doors have been “tense.” Prince Harry, who did not appear in the interview, has also not commented publicly.

As the rift between the Sussexes and the royal family continues to deepen, many are asking how — or if — reconciliation can ever truly be possible.
