Meghan Markle was heard discussing her recent UK trip at a California dinner party, according to Martha Stewart.
The reported conversation came after Meghan reportedly joined Prince Harry and their children for a private royal reunion with King Charles and Queen Camilla at Highgrove House.
Last month, Buckingham Palace said that the meeting was a private family occasion. No other details have emerged about it.
Martha Stewart on seeing Meghan Markle at California dinner
Speaking to PEOPLE, Martha explained that she and the Duchess of Sussex had both attended the same event.
She said: “I had dinner with Meghan Markle the other night. We were both guests at a dinner party in California. And she had just gotten back from the palace.”
Martha said she “didn’t talk to her really more than to say a couple words, but I know she was talking about it”.
It is not known what Meghan said about the visit or whether she discussed her reported meeting with the king.
Although Martha referred to “the palace”, reports suggest Meghan, Harry, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet instead visited Charles at Highgrove House, his private residence in Gloucestershire.
The family are believed to have spent just over an hour there and did not stay overnight.
The visit came as Harry was visiting Britain for an event promoting the 2027 Invictus Games.
ED! has contacted representatives for Meghan for comment.
Meghan has not publicly discussed the reunion
The July trip marked Meghan’s first visit to Britain since 2022. It was also reportedly the first time in four years that she and the Sussex children had seen Charles.
Meghan has not publicly addressed the reported Highgrove reunion. She shared photographs from the family’s travels in Portugal and the UK on Instagram, but did not mention the meeting or post pictures from Highgrove.
King Charles has also not commented publicly on the family gathering.
Recently, one royal commentator opened up about the meeting. Speaking to the Mirror, Jennie Bond said Meghan’s involvement was positive and argued that the children deserved to see some family harmony.
She said: “It’s a good thing that [Meghan] was part of the family reunion at Highgrove a few weeks ago.”
The commentator also said that “the children deserve to see some family harmony: it would have been damaging to have to explain that their mother wasn’t invited”.

Speaking on ITV’s Talking Royals podcast, royal expert Lizzie Robinson pointed to the couple’s efforts to keep the UK visit private.
She asked: “I thought how hard they have worked to protect their privacy around their trip to the UK, and then to post those series of photos, are they almost sort of invading their own privacy?”
