Meghan Markle, and it is…strange, to say the least. The royal family has been in the news a lot lately due to the death of last month.

But the mourning period is over, and it’s time for some royal gossip. Royals expert and journalist Katie Nicholls called The New Royals: Queen Elizabeth’s Legacy and the Future of the Crown, which came out Tuesday, October 4.

It shares all the juicy details on the late queen’s successor, King Charles III. According to Nicholls, the king—who that Kate Middleton’s style was more of a media magnet than his good deeds— gave the Duchess of Sussex the nickname “Tungsten.”“Charles reportedly nicknamed his future daughter-in-law ‘Tungsten’ because of her toughness and resilience,” Nicholls wrote in the book, per a report  Tungsten, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, is “the chemical element of atomic number 74, a hard steel-gray metal of the transition series.

It has a very high melting point (3410°C) and is used to make electric light filaments.” It's a weird thing to call someone, but it is a compliment to Markle, especially considering since she began dating Prince Harry.
