Meghan Markle reportedly reached out to King Charles, seeking clarity and answers regarding the treatment she received as a member of the British royal family after marrying Prince Harry in 2020.
The former Suits actress reportedly felt the rules applied to her were unfair compared to others, prompting her to request a personal meeting to address her concerns directly with the king.
The Sussexes had requested part-time royal duties, which were rejected by the late Queen, and were instructed not to use their ‘HRH’ titles for commercial purposes after stepping down from senior royal roles.
This restriction reportedly frustrated Meghan, who observed that former royal Sarah Ferguson was allowed to engage in media appearances and commercial activities without similar limitations, highlighting inconsistent policies within the monarchy.

Royal expert Neil Sean revealed that Meghan sent a letter to King Charles seeking a one-on-one discussion to explain the challenges she has faced since joining the royal family.
The message reportedly stressed her confusion and disappointment over different rules being applied to her compared to the Duchess of York, whom the royal institution permitted to appear on television and promote her work.
Meghan and Harry’s concerns reflect the broader tension surrounding the couple’s decision to step back from senior royal duties and navigate public life while maintaining personal and professional autonomy.
The couple has previously expressed dissatisfaction over perceived inequities and lack of support, making Meghan’s outreach to King Charles a significant attempt to address long-standing issues privately and formally.
