Meghan Markle has been sharing snaps of Prince Archie Harrison and Princess Lilibet Diana with King Charles III, a new book on the Sussexes has claimed.
Author Omid Scobie, who previously co-wrote 'Finding Freedom', dedicated his new book to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's life after they departed from the Royal Family
Scobie said he was "surprised to learn that even Meghan has some sort of correspondence with Charles, sending over photos of the children, although they're not directly to him."
The author insisted the exchange shows "there is a willingness there," from Meghan to have her children form a bond with their grandfather
However, Scobie told People that things are "different" for Prince Harry.

He said: "He still has unfinished business when it comes to his battles with the press.
"His challenge will be to find something that balances that out so we can see him working in a space that isn't connected to the ties that bind from the past."
Scobie argued that Meghan "moved on" from the royals and is focusing on her future and family with Harry in their new Montecito home.
He continued: "Quite early on in the [book-writing] process, some of those Meghan sources that I really leant on in the earlier years this time were like, 'You know what? She doesn't want anything to do with it.'"
Discussing Harry's relationship with the King, Scobie said: "With Harry, there's a reluctant acceptance that this is just who his father is.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reportedly wished King Charles a happy 75th birthday on November 14.
The royal is said to have had a "friendly and cordial" conversation with his son and daughter-in-law, despite a busy schedule of engagements.
A source told The Sun: "The King was extremely busy but is polite and loves his son and his grandchildren, and not so mean that he would not take a call on his birthday."
Reports have also emerged suggesting Meghan and Harry treated the King to a special video message from Archie and Lilibet wishing him a happy birthday.
The couple earlier last week claimed they had "no contact" from Buckingham Palace about returning to the UK to celebrate with the King.
His Majesty hosted a party at Clarence House, where he marked his 75th birthday with Prince William and Kate, the Princess of Wales as well as niece Zara Tindall and her husband Mike and other senior members of the family.
