The distance between the Royal Family and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle is widening day by day. It was earlier speculated that Queen Elizabeth II’s death will bring the family together. However, the new monarch King Charles III does not seem much interested in entertaining his California-based son and daughter-in-law. It is believed that Charles has made peace with Harry and Meghan’s exit from the royal family and he is happy having only his elder son, Prince William, and his wife Kate Middleton, to share the royal duties.

Days after Queen’s state funeral, His Majesty released his first official royal poster. The photo featured the likes of the King along with his wife Camilla and Prince William, with his wife Kate. They are being considered the New Fab Four. The photo has raised a lot of eyebrows due to the absence of King Charles III’s young son Harry and his wife Meghan. Initially, William, Kate, Harry, and Meghan were collectively referred to as the Fab Four of the royal family.

“The photograph is brimming with the symbolism of course: the new sovereign is pictured with his son and heir. There is another significant factor here, too,” Kay wrote for the Daily Mail.
