The story of Harry and Meghan leaving the British Royal Family (“Megxit”) has passed half a decade, yet its echoes still feel like undercurrents that never quite fade. While King Charles is battling illness and yearning to see his grandchildren, across the ocean Meghan Markle is said to still be grappling with the question, “Why?”

A recent insider revealed that Meghan had personally reached out to her father-in-law with a handwritten letter. But instead of apologizing or seeking reconciliation as many might expect, the letter reportedly delved into the “unwritten rules” and the discrimination she believes she endured. After all the freedom and glamour, could what Meghan really wants most still be fair recognition?

Royal expert Neil Sean says a reliable source revealed that Meghan has attempted to establish a private channel of communication with King Charles. The purpose, he claims, wasn’t simply to ask about his health, but to release frustrations that have built up over the years. Specifically, Meghan wanted to arrange a “one-on-one” meeting with the King to discuss the problems she faced from the very beginning of her life in the Royal Family.

What surprised the public most was the core of the letter. Meghan reportedly complained that different rules were applied to her, while other family members were not bound so strictly. To her, it seems, she was treated unfairly—scrutinized more intensely and pressured more heavily than others within “The Firm,” the Royal Family’s internal moniker.

When silence is no longer golden

In both Eastern and Western cultures, the relationship between a father-in-law and daughter-in-law calls for delicacy. Yet Meghan’s decision to write a letter shows she is a modern woman who wants clarity—black and white, not gray. Neil Sean comments:

“Meghan Markle wants answers from the King. She has sent a letter and wants a direct meeting to explain exactly the issues she has faced since becoming part of the monarchy.”

Her reference to “rules” suggests that her wounds never truly healed. Wealth and fame in America may not erase the feeling of being sidelined or treated unfairly in Britain. She wants to know why she wasn’t allowed to do certain things while others seemingly could.

Amid all his burdens, will the King respond?

The current context of the Royal Family adds to the poignancy. At 76, King Charles is facing serious health challenges and heavy responsibilities. He is said to deeply miss his grandchildren, Archie and Lilibet, who are growing up in California far from their grandfather’s affection.

But the distance—geographical and emotional—seems immense. Meghan and Harry have now spent seven Christmases away from the Royal Family and welcomed the New Year in America for the sixth time. Any attempts at reconciliation, if they exist, appear to collide with invisible barriers—namely mistrust and unresolved resentments.

Meghan’s story raises a timeless question within families: When we feel unfairly treated, should we stay silent for the sake of peace—or speak up to demand fairness?

For Meghan, the answer seems to be the latter. She refuses ambiguity. Yet is this letter a wise move? Reviving old wounds and “rules” from the past—especially while King Charles needs peace and rest—may only widen the divide.

Whatever the result, the letter reveals one truth: Leaving the Royal Family is easy; letting the Royal Family leave your mind is not. Meghan still appears to seek acknowledgment and explanations before she can find true peace in the present. As for King Charles, what he likely longs for most right now is not questions, but the simple togetherness of family—something that, sadly, seems increasingly out of reach.
