King Charles keeps photos of his family on full display at his office in Buckingham Palace, including at least one picture of his younger son Prince Harry and daughter-in-law Meghan Markle.
On Thursday, His Majesty met with British Prime Minister Liz Truss at Buckingham Palace for the first of their regular weekly audiences to discuss government matters, People reported. His late mother Queen Elizabeth II did the same during her reign.
"Though The Queen remains politically neutral on all matters, she is able to 'advise and warn' her ministers — including her Prime Minister — when necessary," states the British royal family's website, which has not been fully updated since the Queen's death last month to reflect the new monarch.
In a video shared on Twitter by ITV's Lizzie Robinson, Truss can be seen doing a curtsy before she shakes King Charles' hand. The footage also shows a few photographs being displayed in the room.
One of the photos is from Prince Harry and Markle's royal wedding in 2018. The shot, which was taken by photographer Alexi Lubomirski at Windsor Castle following their wedding ceremony at St. George's Chapel, showed the bride and groom surrounded by the royal family and their young bridal party.

The video came not long after Vanity Fair royal editor Katie Nicholl claimed that the monarch is "devastated" over his rift with his youngest son.
"If you think back just a couple of years around the time of [the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's] wedding, the relationship between Harry and his father was, I think, probably better than it ever had been... Harry and Meghan spent time with Charles and Camilla in Scotland. They went on holiday together. It all looked very rosy and very happy," Nicholl told Fox News Digital.
The "New Royals" author claimed that King Charles wants a "reconciliation" with Prince Harry. She suggested that it was evident when the King expressed his love for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex during his inaugural speech as monarch last month.
"He does want to sort his relationship with his son," Nicholl claimed of the monarch. "He wants to do it on a personal level because he loves his son. He's never stopped loving his son. He may not be happy about everything that's been said, but he wants to have a relationship with Harry and he wants to have a relationship with his grandchildren."
