Meghan Markle flashes big smile as Prince Harry returns from visiting cancer-stricken father King Charles in LA

On Wednesday, Meghan Markle was seen driving around the $14.65 million nine-bedroom mansion in Montecito she has shared with Prince Harry since 2020.

It was the first time the Duchess of Sussex was seen since Prince Harry flew to London alone to meet his cancer-stricken father, King Charles.

Markle, 42, looked in good spirits as she drove her black Range Rover while wearing casual attire including a cream-colored baseball cap and dark sunglasses. She also had a white mug, which she used to drink from from time to time.

The photos were taken just hours before the Duke of Sussex, 39, returned home from his whirlwind trip in London.

King Charles’ former butler Grant Harrold told The Post exclusively on Tuesday that Harry is undoubtedly feeling “concerned” about his father’s poor health, and his whirlwind trip to London was his way of “showing support.” .

The exiled royals arrived in London just after 2pm local time on Tuesday and met with Her Majesty and Queen Camilla, 75, for 45 minutes.

After this he returned to the London hotel where he was reportedly staying.

Despite having countless royal residences at his fingertips, the Duke of Sussex chose to stay in a luxury London hotel that is open to the public, the Daily Mail reports.

The father-of-two no longer has a royal residence in his name in the UK after he and his wife Meghan Markle were forced to hand over the keys to Frogmore Cottage last year.

Harry was all smiles and in good spirits as he returned to London’s Heathrow Airport on Wednesday afternoon after being driven to Clarence House in a motorcade from the same airport yesterday.

While in London, Harry was unable to reunite with his estranged brother and heir to the throne, Prince William.

“William has shown today that he has rejected Harry, he doesn’t want to know him, and maybe he doesn’t even like him anymore. Royal expert Jenny Bond told The Daily Mail, Harry is not a part of her life.

She added, “That rift is very deep now, and it’s shown by Harry being here and not having them, so deep that I really wonder if it can ever be healed.”

The “Suits” alum decided not to join her husband on his urgent trip because she felt “it was something she would have to do alone,” Herold told The Post.
