We would never have guessed this.

One the day of Prince Harry and Meghan’s wedding, Prince Harry’s father Prince Charles gave Megan away to his son after she walked part of the aisle on her own.

It was a lovely moment to watch and it was very clear that Prince Charles and Meghan got on very well as they smiled and chatted quietly for a brief moment.

They get on so well that Prince Charles already has a nickname for Meghan and we could never have guessed it, not in a million years.

According to royal sources, Meghan has been christened Tungsten because like the metal of the same name, she is tough.

Although it might not sound that way initially, this is, in fact, a compliment and according to The Mail on Sunday, the ‘affectionate’ nickname has stuck.

According to one royal insider, Prince Charles admires Meghan and he believes that Prince Harry “needs a tungsten-type figure in his life as he can be a bit of a softy”.

It’s not what you might call a typical nickname but according to those in the know at Buckingham Palace, it’s become a “term of endearment”.

Between this random fact the photos of Meghan and the Queen getting on like a house on fire, it’s clear that the former Suits actress is taking to royal life like a duck to water.
