An expert has revealed the 'hidden message' Meghan Markle allegedly sent to King Charles in her latest Instagram post.
The Duchess of Sussex shared with her 1.4 million followers yesterday (7 January) the tragic news that her beloved family dog, Guy, had passed away.
Now, before the post, Meghan and Prince Harry have seemingly used all means necessary to keep their two children out of the spotlight since their resignation from royal duties in 2020.

That same year, the couple - who only had Archie, now five, at the time - left the UK for the US following an avalanche of racial abuse against Meghan, where they've since settled down in Montecito, California, to welcome now three-year-old daughter Lilibet.
So, fans were surprised to find out that several segments of Guy's sweet video tribute saw Archie walking him along with dad Harry, whilst others saw Lilibet playing with him in the park.
Though the kids were only ever shown with their backs turned, their voices could be heard during several sweet moments - including at the end, where they're heard singing a song.
Now, both Archie and Lilibet have had little contact with both Meghan's estranged father, Thomas, as well as Harry's dad King Charles.
Analysing Meghan's post, body language expert Judi James claims the montage's 'most poignant moment' features the King's two grandchildren.
She told the Mirror: "Anyone who has lost a pet will understand the kind of grief Meghan is suffering right now and she is coping in her new signature manner by creating this video of the dog that looked set to be a star of her new Netflix show.
"Like the 'reality' fan she has now become, she has included some very intimate moments and glimpses of her life here, suggesting an equal easing off the privacy pedal when her new show finally drops."
James continued, noting Charles' possible reaction to the video: "If the reveal of her love of Guy and of his life with the Sussexes weren't enough, there's added poignancy in the glimpses here of Archie and Lilibet, which will presumably be devoured by both grandads as well as the fans.
"The children are still shown in back view only and in idyllic settings that include dogs and donkeys. But there is one clip that is a 'shared experience', a three-dimensional glimpse rather than a distanced shot from afar, as we are shown the angle Meghan sees as they sit in the back of the car while Harry is driving.
"We don't see the children but we do hear voices and see one small hand. This is possibly the most poignant moment for anyone craving the family vibe as it involves the kind of proximity and the view any relative might enjoy if they were part of the family group."
In 2024, a source revealed Charles had committed himself to building a relationship with Harry's children telling the Mirror: "The King is absolutely committed to being present in all of his grandchildren's lives. He values family above everything and whatever the course of his relationship with his son he would never be content with just seeing his grandchildren on the odd video call."
