She wiped away a tear during the funeral of Elizabeth II, under the eyes of the whole world.
Like many in Windsor, Meghan Markle expressed her deep sorrow at the Queen's funeral, held at Westminster Abbey on Monday, September 19.
Despite the tensions aroused by the “Megxit”, the Sussexes and the rest of the royal family thus appeared united in pain.
Anxious to ease the tensions within the clan, the mother of Archie and Lilibet would have even requested a private audience with King Charles III, after the funeral of the queen, revealed the royal correspondent Neil Sean in a video Youtube.

“Alone with King Charles III”
According to the reporter, who has worked for NBC News, MSNBC and Access Hollywood, a “really good source” indicated that the Duchess had drafted a letter requesting an interview with the monarch.
"She would now like to have a private audience with King Charles III, before returning to California," the reporter said.
You heard me right: Meghan, alone with King Charles III.
Before adding: “What is interesting is that according to this good source, this request was made in the form of an official letter.
This is how you write to the king”.

Neil Sean hailed the Duchess of Sussex's "self-confidence".
He also stressed that this interview would be for Prince Harry and his wife an “opportunity to ease tensions (…) and to explain the reasons for their actions for two years”.
"Sincerely, we don't know if the situation will change," he continued.
But it's a very brave decision on Meghan's part."
Only downside, some anonymous sources, from royalty, told the
Daily Mail
on Tuesday, September 20, that it would be unlikely to see Meghan Markle request a private audience with the king.

The path to reconciliation
Everything would indeed be a question of
timing
.
According to one of the witnesses, it would be "very unlikely" that Meghan Markle would disturb her father-in-law during this period of mourning and her first days as sovereign.
Another anonymous source also felt that it would be "strange" to see the Duchess write a missive to the monarch, when Prince Harry has means of reaching him directly.
During the Queen's funeral, the Duke of Sussex and Prince William appeared side by side, united in this ordeal.
The Prince of Wales had also signaled to his brother and his sister-in-law to take their place not far from him during the ceremony.
The symbol, for some observers, of a strong desire for reconciliation.
