silver chloride forms, which is insoluble in aqua regia, HCl, or HNO3.

silver chloride is soluble in ammonium solutions but this can become very dangerous, as fulminate forms and can detonate when dried, acidifying them with HCl to precipitate the silver and form ammonium chloride solution is a safe way to handle them.

insolubility of silver chloride in aqua regia is one reason karat gold is inquatered, and parted in nitric before dissolving gold in aqua regia, the insoluble silver chloride will crust over the gold (from silver in the karat gold), and aqua regia cannot dissolve the gold with an layer of silver chloride protecting the gold from the acids.

some small amounts of silver chloride is soluble in aqua regia, remember soluble, or insoluble are relative terms, and can be affected by temperature, PH and so on.

A reaction exist. But: The nitric acid can dissolve silver but immediately the hydrochloric acid react and the insoluble silver chloride (AgCl) is formed.

What happens when you add sulfuric to nitric?

Nothing actually happens. However, if you add concentrated sulphuric acid to fuming nitric acid, you will have created aqua regia which will dissolve gold. Neither acid alone will do this, and it is used as a test for gold. Note. aqua regia is latin for royal water.
