Royal fans are convinced that King Charles took a swipe at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle during his trip to Africa last year.

Attending a State Banquet during his visit in November 2023, the King spoke of the special significance that the country has for his family.

The monarch then gave a special mention to his eldest son and daughter-in-law, the Prince and Princess of Wales – but failed to mention his youngest son and other daughter-in-law.

This didn’t go unnoticed by royal fans, many of whom spotted that the monarch didn’t discuss Harry nor Meghan.

In his speech, the King said: “It means a great deal to my wife and myself that, in our Coronation year, our first State Visit to a Commonwealth country should bring us here to Kenya. We both take considerable pride in renewing the ties between the United Kingdom and Kenya, a country that has long held such special meaning for my family.”

He added: “Nearly 50 years later it was here, in sight of Mount Kenya, that my son, The Prince of Wales, proposed to his wife, now my beloved daughter-in-law…”

Taking to social media, fans pointed out that the King “took a shot” at the Sussexes – especially by mentioning Kate and William but not them.

One fan wrote: “Savage, he DIDN’T call HER my beloved daughter in law.”

Despite many fans taking it as swipe at the former royal couple, one fan replied: “How is this taking a shot at them? That’s just a true statement.”

Prince William proposed to the now-Princess Kate in Kenya in October 2010, with the pair staying at a remote cabin along the shores of Lake Rutunda.

According to royal author Katie Nicholl, William made Kate – who he had been dating since the early 2000s – the “happiest girl in the world”.

Kate is known to have grown very close to the Royal Family over the years, especially since their royal wedding in April 2011.

The pair now share three children together, Prince George, 10, Princesss Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, six.

Harry and Meghan stepped down as senior working royals at the start of 2020, and now reside in the US with their two children.

Last week, after Harry’s solo visit to the UK, Meghan joined Harry for a trip to Nigeria.

The pair, who were invited to the African country by the Nigerian military, flew back to California on Monday after their three-day stay.
