“Kierner than ever” to see Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, King Charles

Many members of King Charles’ family, especially his grandsons Prince George, Prince Charlotte, and Prince Louis, are close to him. Regretfully, living on the opposite side of the world in California, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet are said to have no relationship at all with their grandfather.

It seems by all indications that King Charles will not be seeing his grandkids who live in the US anytime soon. Prince Harry has stated unequivocally that he will not travel to the UK with his spouse and kids unless he receives the protection he believes he is entitled to. In order to do this, he has supposedly requested his father to assist him in setting up the necessary protection, something the king is unable to do, if rumours are to be believed.

Charles is reportedly keen to meet Archie and Lilibet, despite Harry and Meghan Markle being accused of “emotional blackmailing” the king by using their kids to obtain the aforementioned security.

According to a recent story, Harry’s kids are now at the centre of the ongoing conflict between Charles and Harry, which could be why the king won’t completely cut him off.

With the Royal Family, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have placed themselves in a difficult position. After everything that has been said about the monarchy, it should come as no surprise that people like Kate Middleton and Prince William don’t want anything to do with them.

King Charles, on the other hand, seems to still be willing to keep up a cordial working relationship with them, and his reasons might have something to do with his two grandchildren, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

In an interview with the Mirror in June, royal expert Tom Quinn stated that things have gotten worse since Charles kicked Harry and Meghan out of Frogmore Cottage in 2023 after Harry’s exposé memoir Spare was published.

“King Charles aspires to have a functional relationship with his son and to be nearer to Harry,” Quinn stated. “However, this is contingent upon Harry providing his dad with unwavering assurances that there won’t be any more books or awkward interviews.” According to the royal expert, Charles had been talking about maybe going to the US in a desperate attempt to patch things up with Harry and meet his grandkids.

Quinn stated she had made a “encouraging effort” to assist Charles in strengthening the relationship between Archie and Lilibet by advising him to give Lilibet a “heartfelt gift and card” on June 4, in which Queen Camilla concurs.

Quinn continued, “Charles has talked about making an official trip to the United States at some point in the future, and if it happens, he would definitely make time to see his youngest son and his grandchildren.” “But that’s not even close to becoming a possibility—there are planning mountains to be climbed.” The royal specialist came to the following conclusion: “King Charles has visited many other countries discreetly; he checked in on his rental properties in Transylvania, for example, so it’s certainly possible that he would make a discreet, private visit to Harry and the children in California.” He is itching to see them and detests the thought that Archie and Lili won’t recall him as the kind, gentle man they once knew.

In an interview with the Daily Mail in June, Thomas Markle, the father of Meghan Markle, stated that Archie and Lilibet are not being given the opportunity to interact with their cousins. “I found it quite heartbreaking that the children of Meghan and Harry are not allowed to meet their adorable cousins or participate in activities like Trooping the Colour, which is a birthright,” Markle stated.

“As all children do, they are approaching the age where they will begin to ask questions,” he continued. “I can’t help but wonder how Archie and Lilbet will feel when they realise all the things they have missed out on in a few years.” Only via FaceTime has King Charles been able to communicate with Prince Archie and Prince Lilibet. That seems insufficient to him.

A Mirror source claims that the king is not “content” to view them exclusively on video. According to reports, he’s “keener than ever” to devote his time to his family and make up for “lost time” since he had to abdicate many of his royal responsibilities following his cancer diagnosis.

“The King is fully dedicated to being involved in every one of his grandchildren’s lives.” Family is the most important thing to him, and no matter how his connection with his son develops, he will never be happy to only see his grandchildren occasionally via video conference, the insider stated.
