“Kierner than ever” to see Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, King Charles
King Charles’ relationship with his grandchildren remains complicated, especially with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, who live in California. Due to Prince Harry’s concerns over security, he has refused to return to the UK with his family unless his demands for protection are met. As a result, Charles has not seen his two youngest grandchildren in person. According to a royal insider, “The King is fully dedicated to being involved in every one of his grandchildren’s lives.”
Despite tensions, Charles still hopes to reunite with Harry and his grandchildren. Royal expert Tom Quinn noted, “Charles aspires to have a functional relationship with his son,” but added that this depends on Harry ensuring “there won’t be any more books or awkward interviews.”
King Charles has expressed his desire to visit the U.S. to meet Archie and Lilibet, but no plans have been confirmed. A source shared, “He’s keener than ever to devote his time to his family and make up for lost time.”
The king reportedly dislikes only seeing his grandchildren via FaceTime and hopes for a closer bond in the future.
