.
In the biography Finding Freedom, which details the Sussexes’ decision to quit royal life in 2020, it was claimed the King was blindsided by his son's public statement about his new girlfriend. However, despite being "disappointed" by the timing of the announcement, the book claimed Charles understood something needed to be said because "the situation with Meghan had reached a tipping point".
Relations between the Sussexes and the Royal Family have been strained since the couple decided to step back from senior royal duties in 2020.
