Ode to happier times? Harry and Meghan’s wedding portrait spotted in King Charles’ office
LONDON, UK: On Wednesday, October 12, during King Charles' meeting with Prime Minister, Liz Truss, when the camera panned to show viewers the King's office in detail, eagle-eyed royal observers spotted a photo from Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's wedding day on display.
Despite all the friction that has existed between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and the rest of the royal family over the past two years, Britain's new ruler, King Charles, proudly showed off one of the images that appeared to be an official snapshot of the royal family taken during Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's wedding in 2018, placed among a host of other family photos.

Photographer Alexi Lubomirski was the one who captured the joyful moment of the newlyweds in the midst of their family and wedding party at Windsor Castle shortly after the pair exchanged their vows at St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle. However, since the Duke and Duchess of Sussex tied the wedding, there has been a significant amount of upheaval inside the royal family. In addition, Prince Charles displayed a photograph of his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II, with her three heirs: Prince Charles, Prince William, and Prince George.
Meghan and Harry made the announcement that they would be taking a break from their royal responsibilities in January 2020; nevertheless, they resigned entirely from their positions exactly one year later. As a result of their unexpected departure, tensions have been running high within the royal family, particularly between the two brothers, who have been unable to agree on anything. In spite of Markle and Harry's trip to the United Kingdom for the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II last month, they were not met with open arms. They were "uninvited" from several events and had to sit at the back of the church for the burial rituals for the late queen, giving them the impression that they were treated with disdain. Royal watchers speculate that by holding his coronation on the same day as Prince Archie's fourth birthday party, the King was trying to convey a message to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. The snub wouldn't come as a surprise to many people because it happened so recently; the couple was demoted on the royal family's website, placing them next to the disgraced Prince Andrew.
