King Charles’ one-word response after Meghan Markle’s special birthday connection revealed

In the book, Prince Harry – who turns 40 next month – opened up about his father King Charles’ close bond with Meghan, and how her birthdate shared a special connection with his “favourite person” – Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother.

“Towards the end of summer 2018 we went to Scotland, the Castle of Mey, to spend a few days with Pa,” Harry wrote. “The bond between Meg and Pa, always strong, grew even stronger during that weekend.

“One night, over pre-dinner cocktails, Fred Astaire playing in the background, it emerged that Meg shared a birthdate with Pa’s favorite person: Gan-Gan. August 4.”
The revelation prompted a sweet response from King Charles, who had just – weeks prior – walked Meghan down the aisle during her 2018 wedding to Prince Harry.

“‘Amazing,’ Pa said with a smile,” added Harry. “At the memory of Gan-Gan, and the link between her and my bride, he suddenly became buoyant, telling stories I’d never heard, essentially performing, showing off for Meg.”
Meghan’s birthday has always been a special time for the couple, only a year into their relationship, Prince Harry reportedly whisked his then-American girlfriend away to Botswana for her 36th birthday in 2017. Their trip came just weeks ahead of their engagement, with Harry proposing in the garden at his former Kensington Palace home, Nottingham Cottage.
