It’s long been rumoured that Prince Charles was once desperate for a daughter and even mockingly stated that he was “disappointed” when Prince Harry, his second son was born.
So it’s no wonder that the Prince of Wales has grown increasingly fond of daughters-in-law Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle…despite their rumoured feud.
Meghan’s only been an official member of The Firm for less than a year, but Charles has apparently grown incredibly close to Harry’s wife, famously stepping in to walk her down the aisle when it became clear that Meghan’s father, Thomas Markle, wouldn’t be able to make it due to health concerns.

“I asked him to and I think he knew it was coming and he immediately said, ‘Yes, of course, I’ll do whatever Meghan needs and I’m here to support you,'” Harry recounted the moment to the BBC in November. “For him that’s a fantastic opportunity to step up and be that support, and he’s our father so of course he’s going to be there for us.”
As for Kate, her father-in-law has always gone out of his way to make sure she feels welcome. When she and William were just seriously dating, even, Kate was regularly included at family events, including birthday parties and their annual ski trip.

“Charles and Kate have always got on very well,” a source told Britain’s Telegraph recently. “As the mother of his grandchildren, of course the prince dotes on her.”
