King Charles III and all his relatives are mourning the demise of Queen Elizabeth. The monarch passed away last Thursday, Sept. 8, in Balmoral while her eldest son and Princess Anne were with her. Now, the royal family is gearing up to pay their final respects to Her Majesty. And they are also figuring out how they would pick up the pieces moving forward.
King Charles III Doesn't Want Meghan Markle To Exploit Queen Elizabeth's Death
According to Radar Online, one thing that King Charles III isn't looking forward to is the upcoming release of another episode of Archetypes, Meghan Markle's podcast. As of writing, the Duchess of Sussex has already dropped three episodes via Spotify, and she is expected to release the fourth one this week.
However, King Charles III allegedly doesn't want his daughter-in-law to exploit the queen's death by discussing it on Archetypes. And the King of Britain allegedly doesn't want Markle to keep releasing episodes of her podcast.

King Charles III Wants Prince Harry To Convince Meghan Markle To Cancel Archetypes
In fact, he's allegedly begging Prince Harry to convince his wife to cancel Archetypes altogether. After all, Markle could be the very first member of the royal family to appear in an interview post-the queen's death, and they don't want this to happen.
"It's the last thing The King needs to be thinking about, at this time. But make no mistake, it's a very serious problem. The King does not want the Duchess of Sussex discussing anything about the family's interactions or events surrounding this very solemn occasion," the source said.
King Charles III allegedly plans to lobby his aides so that they could also talk to the Duke of Sussex. However, the dad of two is worried that Markle wouldn't understand the gravity of the situation and why it's important for him and the royal family to keep the queen's passing as private as possible.
"King Charles is aware of what Meghan said in a recent interview: she never had to sign anything that restricted her from talking. He knows Meghan is steadfast in her view and belief she, and not the family, is in control of what she says publicly. But the King hopes that common sense, politeness and restraint will ensure Meghan makes the right decision not to discuss anything about the Windsor family and his mother's death," the source added.
Did King Charles III Ban Meghan Markle From Seeing Queen Elizabeth In Balmoral?
Meanwhile, King Charles III also made headlines last week amid reports that he asked Prince Harry not to bring Markle to Balmoral to see the queen shortly after she took her last breath.
"Charles told Harry that it wasn't right or appropriate for Meghan to be in Balmoral at such a deeply sad time. It was pointed out to him that Kate was not going and that the numbers really should be limited to the very closest family. Charles made it very, very clear Meghan would not be welcome," a source told The Sun.
However, photos of Prince Harry and Markle with the Cambridges proved that they were welcome after all. It just so happened that the Duchess of Sussex decided not to go with Prince Harry to Balmoral to potentially give him some time with the royal family.
