Queen Camilla’s warning to Meghan Markle over her children’s reunion with King Charles “fell on deaf ears”, a source claims.

Queen Camilla could “close the door” on Meghan Markle after warnings over her private reunion with King Charles were “ignored”, according to reports. Meghan shared a series of summer-themed pictures on social media in late July, including a shot of Prince Harry, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet at what appeared to be Althorp Estate, Princess Diana’s ancestral home.
The Queen, who is thought to have been present when Charles was reunited with his grandchildren for the first time in four years last month, was “very clear” that the couple should not share anything online about their trip, a source told New Idea.
“Camilla’s words appear to have fallen on deaf ears,” they said. “She feels that she was clear about no social media posts, and if Meghan thinks Althorp was an exception, she was very wrong.” The condition was primarily intended to keep the reunion private for Archie and Lilibet, the source added, but Meghan breaching it could mean “the door would remain shut for her forever”.
