King Charles is reportedly not pleased with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s recent four-day visit to Australia, with sources suggesting the monarch was left unimpressed by the trip.
Despite the reported royal reaction, Meghan and Harry are said to be preparing their next major move. According to royal commentator Rob Shuter, the couple were very satisfied with how their Australia visit unfolded and are already planning future engagements.
A key focus of their upcoming strategy appears to be “walkabouts” — informal public interactions that allow them to connect directly with people. Insiders claim the couple thoroughly enjoyed the experience in Australia, especially the public response.
“They loved every moment — the crowds, the selfies, the energy from people. It’s exactly what they’ve been missing,” one source shared.
During the tour, Harry and Meghan participated in several traditional royal-style engagements, including hospital visits, meetings with veterans, and a public appearance at the Sydney Opera House. On the surface, the visit resembled a classic royal tour.
However, insiders pointed out a major difference: there was no official approval from the Royal Household.
“They’ve realised they don’t need permission to do what they do best. It’s the royal role, just without the royal system,” the source added.
Reports also suggest the couple are now planning to expand these public interactions on future trips, with “walkabouts” expected to play a bigger role.
Another insider noted that these spontaneous moments with the public are where the strongest connection — and media attention — is created.
Meanwhile, tensions reportedly remain high, as King Charles is said to have been displeased with the Australia visit. According to Sky News, the King was unimpressed by the couple’s four-day tour, during which Prince Harry also made personal and pointed remarks about royal life.
