Megan Markle has long been the target of various mocking nicknames on the Internet, such as "I-got-it," "Duchess of Difficulties," and "MeMeMegan." However, one of the most unexpected was the nickname "Tungsten," reportedly given to her by then-Prince Charles, highlighting her "tough" and "unwavering" nature, according to UNN referencing the Daily Mail.

While the comparison to the metal may seem unusual, Prince Charles intended to pay a compliment by calling Megan Markle "Tungsten." This nickname, which reflected her "strength" and "resilience," became associated with her as a symbol of respect. It has long been customary in the royal family to give each other nicknames, and for the 76-year-old Charles, it was a way to honor the 43-year-old Megan within the family.

Interestingly, Megan herself is accustomed to other names. Her real name is Rachel, but she preferred to use her middle name, Megan.

The nickname "Tungsten" first emerged during the early days of Megan and Harry's life together as working members of the royal family.

The metal tungsten, known for its strength and high melting point, became a symbol of Megan's resilience. This quality was evident during her public debut in February 2018 at the Royal Foundation Forum alongside Harry, William, and Kate. As noted by Katie Nicholl in her book "New Royals," Megan displayed confidence, passion, and charisma that made her a "star."

Charles and Megan grew closer after this event, and he even walked her down the aisle during the wedding in May 2018 when her father Thomas was unable to attend due to health issues. Sources reported that Charles was "deeply touched" by such a request.
