Their relationship with the members of the royal family seemed to have affected due to their decision however things were quite different before their wedding, especially for the former.

King Charles III Found Meghan Markle Similar to Kate Middleton’s Sister, Pippa Middleton
The 41-year-old Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle met with the Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry in 2016, and their relationship then began to surface. As per the new reports on the current monarch of the U.K., King Charles III, when the latter introduced his future partner to his father after their relationship went public, he had a good impression of the former actress.
The biography on the new monarch claimed that the then-Prince of Wales found Markle “completely charming” and “absolutely delightful”.
Christopher Andersen, who wrote, The King: The Life of Charles III, stated that the 73-year-old King found his younger son’s then-girlfriend has a striking resemblance to Pippa Middleton, the Princess of Wales Kate Middleton’s younger sister.
The biography stated, “After returning from Botswana that fall, Harry introduced Meghan to his father and Camilla. The Prince of Wales found the young American actress—who bore a passing resemblance to Kate’s sister, Pippa—’ completely charming, absolutely delightful.'”
Not just that, but the monarch also had no idea about the mother of two being biracial.

The former Prince of Wales was not aware of the fact that the Duchess of Sussex was of mixed race. For the unversed, Markle is half-black and is born to a Caucasian father and an African-American mother.
Anderson shared, “At the time, Prince Charles had no idea that Harry’s new girlfriend was biracial. ‘Not that it would have mattered at all, of course,’ Charles told an American friend. ‘But no, I didn’t realize that until later'”.
This was not the only reference related to the monarch as there are many incidents covered regarding him.
