There's no denying the Duchess of Sussex has formed a close bond with her in-laws. Since she married Prince Harry on 19 May, the former actress has immersed herself into royal life. Shortly after royal wedding, Meghan embarked on her first-ever solo visit with the Queen - and it was clear for the world to see that the Duchess has forged a warm relationship with the British monarch. Meghan reflected their friendship in a BBC interview after her engagement to Prince Harry: "It's incredible to be able to meet her through his lens, not just with his honour and respect for her as the monarch, but the love that he has for her as his grandmother... She's an incredible woman."

Prince Charles
It's no secret that Meghan and Prince Charles are close. The first-in-line walked the former actress down the aisle on her wedding day to Prince Harry in May – after her father was unable to attend the ceremony.

The Duchess of Cornwall
Meghan was also seen hugging the Duchess of Cornwall upon her arrival. The two are clearly on good terms as in December, Camilla's son Tom Parker Bowles described Meghan as a "wonderful" person and revealed she should "carry on what she's doing". The comments come after Piers Morgan asked him if he had any advice for the expectant royal, who is currently getting used to a new way of living. "I think she's wonderful," replied the food writer. "How could I give advice about that? I think she should carry on what she's doing."
