Charles came off as very sincere in his invitation, and he's gone out of his way to personally congratulate them on their success since the wedding. As you know, there's widespread speculation Charles or Prince William is the Royal Family member Harry and Meghan claim was worried Archie's skin might be too dark.

Prince William slams Prince Harry, Meghan Markle: ‘It’s beyond explosive!’ Prince William is reportedly “beyond livid” over Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s decision to oust the royal family as entitled racists.
This news was brought forward by royal expert Katie Nicholl. She was quoted telling Express, "The fact that he answered two questions was really very, very unusual. I think highly significant. I think he wanted the chance to say something."
Ms. Nicholl also went on to say, "I think everyone hopes that the brothers will be able to heal this rift, clearly it does run deep. I think it speaks volumes that William hasn't yet picked up the phone to call his brother.
"I think that he's clearly needed some cooling off time. I think the feeling though is that time is a healer. That's something that Harry himself said."

After Michelle Obama said she was not surprised that Meghan Markle dealt with racism within the Royal Family and the monarchy, Roz Weston, Graeme O'Neil and guest co-host Jazzie Belle discuss during ET Canada Live.
For many people of color, hearing Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, speak about racism within the royal family was, though shocking, not exactly surprising. And one of those people was former first lady Michelle Obama.
In an interview with Jenna Bush Hager on NBC's "Today" show, Obama spoke about her thoughts on Meghan's experiences with the family.
"Race isn't a new construct in this world for people of color. So it wasn't a complete surprise to hear her feelings and to have them articulated," Obama said during Tuesday's interview.
In Meghan's interview with Oprah Winfrey, which aired in the US on March 7, she detailed some of the racist attitudes she encountered -- not only from the press in the United Kingdom -- but also from within the royal family.
Most notably, she said there were "concerns and conversations" about the skin color of her baby, Archie, and "what that would mean." Both Meghan and Prince Harry also said their mental health suffered at the time, but their concerns were dismissed. She felt so unsupported, she said, that she even had suicidal thoughts during her pregnancy.
"The thing that I hope for, and the thing I think about is that this first and foremost is a family," Obama said.

It was Prince Charles rather than his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, who took charge in responding to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s scandalous claims in their tell-all interview, a royal expert claims. The Evening Standard’s royal editor, Robert Jobson, wrote in a piece for Hello! magazine that he believes Charles formulated Buckingham Palace’s response to his youngest son and his wife. “I think the Prince of Wales has also taken the lead on how the palace has responded,” Jobson wrote. “The queen is 94 and the Duke of Edinburgh is incapacitated, so he will be trying to placate and learn lessons from this so something can be worked out to everyone’s satisfaction.” “The royal family like to do things as a team, and if the team is being trashed, they like to react as a unit and a family,” he added, calling the queen’s statement released on March 9 as “dignified.” Biggest Royal Family Scandals Through the Years The statement released by Buckingham Palace said that “the whole family is saddened to learn the full extent of how challenging the last few years have been for Harry and Meghan. The issues raised, particularly that of race, are concerning. While some recollections may vary, they are taken seriously and will be addressed by the family privately.” The statement concluded, “Harry, Meghan and Archie will always be much loved family members.” In their explosive sit-down interview with CBS on March 7, the former Suits star, 39, claimed that when she was pregnant with son Archie, now 21 months, there were “concerns and conversations” at the palace about how dark the baby’s skin would be. Harry, 36, also revealed that his father, 72, had “stopped taking” his calls ahead of the couple’s royal step-down last year and that they have been financially “cut off.” He added that he feels “really let down” by Charles.

A source tells ET that Buckingham Palace is considering hiring a ‘diversity czar’ after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey, where they claimed there were concerns in the royal family about how dark their son Archie’s skin would be when he was born.
The unseen clips of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey will send alarm bells ringing once it airs on the UK television.
According to a report, the never-before-seen snippets of the interview are all set to debut on the screens, after ITV releases them.
The original interview was initially 3 hours and 20 minutes, trimmed down to 85 minutes when it was finally aired around the world.
As revealed by a source to the Sunday Times, "There is a lot of interest in showing the interview in full.
“The original program was the biggest show of the year so far in the UK and was bought by firms around the world. Showing more of it would be a guaranteed ratings winner," they said.
The insider added, “Oprah’s production company know they’re sitting on a goldmine so it’s possible a deal could be done."
“The fallout from the interview is far from over and it feels like Harry and Meghan still have more to say publicly,” the Sunday People’s source said.
“There’s certainly an appetite from TV execs to help them do it,” the insider told the paper.
