King Charles III has spoken of his love for Prince Harry and Meghan in his first address to Britain and the world as monarch. He said on Friday that he wanted to “express my love for Harry and Meghan as they continue to build their lives abroad”. The move was seen by royal commentators as a possible attempt to finally draw a line under the controversy of recent years. While it is hoped the Queen’s death has sparked a possible truce between William and her with reports this week they could walk side by side behind her coffin at the funeral on Monday. William and Kate and Harry and Meghan gathered outside Windsor Castle on Saturday to view tributes to the Queen and meet members of the public gathered outside. Oprah Winfrey earlier said she hoped the Queen’s mourning would be an “opportunity for peace” for William and Harry. The talk show host conducted the bombshell interview with Harry and Meghan last year, which deepened the rift between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and other members of the royal family. The couple were interviewed following their move to California following their announcement that they will no longer be full-time royals. The landmark interview included claims that an unnamed royal mentioned the color of their son Archie’s skin before he was born and that Kate made Meghan cry in a row before her wedding.
