Meghan Markle was reduced to tears after an explosive phone call with King Charles III in which he reportedly threatened to take her children, Archie and Lilibet, claiming that Prince Harry would walk out on her as well.

“Eventually, you’re going to end up being alone,” Charles allegedly said in a moment that’s blowing up as epic drama and controversy. The hive is buzzing over this nasty fight, and fans are heartbroken.

The call came, sources say, following Meghan’s request for the same level of respect that Kate receives. Charles, 76 and sick from his health battles, grew angry. “He says the grandkids are the Crown’s, and that if Meghan keeps embarrassing the family, he’ll take them away from her,” a source shared.

“He even suggested Harry might opt for family over her.” The 44-year-old Meghan felt betrayed and terrified—especially after Harry vowed to kick her out and the stage fight they had on a public platform.

Social media is alive with #charlestheats trending. Some have gone mad over the photos, with some posting, “That’s cruel—using children to punish Meghan!” Others are pointing fingers at her, saying, “She was the one who brought attention to this with her jealousy of Kate—now look?”

Its drama stacks on top of royal messes, such as Camilla banning Charlotte and William making those embarrassing clandestine business deals. Critics are saying that Charles’s comments are “bullying.” Supporters view him as keeping the throne free of chaos.

Queen Kate and Prince William believe it is a “concern,” yet are staying silent, throwing their weight behind Charles.

Caught in the middle, Harry has yet to speak publicly about his feelings, though those close to him believe he’s torn. Buckingham Palace is keeping mum, but word is, this threat could spell a big court battle over the kids.

Is Charles serious, or is it just anger speaking? Between Meghan’s dad leaking videos and Harry’s book plans, the family is all over the place. It may say “Fans want peace,” but this cold warning reads as the final nail in any hope that Harry and Meghan will return to their royal roles.

We’re all waiting to see if Meghan will fight back or be forced to if this threat becomes a reality in its cuckoo royal tale.
