One-word nickname King Charles awarded to Meghan revealed

However, during her brief stint at The Firm, Charles, now 77, is said to have taken note of her behavior and presence, especially during early public engagements alongside Prince William, 43, and Catherine, Princess of Wales, 44.

The one-word nickname, taken from one of the strongest metals in the world, reflected what insiders described as an appreciation for her calm under pressure and her influence within the family dynamics of the time.

Royal correspondent Katie Nicholls previously described Meghan’s impact in her 2022 book The New Royals: Queen Elizabeth’s Legacy and the Future of the Crownwho wrote of her entry into The Firm: “It was, according to an assistant, the moment when William and Kate, who were heavily pregnant, realized they had to up their game.”

Nicholls also reported that Markle quickly distinguished herself during joint appearances, with a source telling her she stood out as “the breakout star of the foursome (her, Harry, William and Catherine),” adding: “She was polished, passionate and funny, using all her TV skills to present her case.” That was a wake-up moment for William and Kate as they realized Meghan was very impressive, very confident and very capable, according to a source.”
