While relations with his son Prince Harry haven’t always been great, King Charles III is determined to preserve any bonds he may have with his grandchildren. A royal expert says the 75-year-old monarch would like to see Archie and Lilibet more often.
What if tensions finally eased? Last September 15ththe British royal family reached out to Prince Harry on his 40th birthday. While they had not done so since 2021, they posted a message on their social networks to wish him a happy birthday. “We wish the Duke of Sussex a very happy 40th birthday today”was simply written in the caption of a photo that caused a lot of ink to flow. In the photo chosen by Buckingham Palace, William’s brother appears alone, during an official trip to Dublin in which he nevertheless participated with Meghan Markle in 2018. The former American actress was also visible in the original image. No hidden message from King Charles III and his entourage, the Palace claimed that they had used the photo as it had been transmitted to them by a press agency.
Two weeks after this olive branch, Prince Harry could be reunited with his family in the United Kingdom. The Duke of Sussex will host the WellChild Awards ceremony in London. And he will be making the trip without Meghan Markle! While he has been taking on more and more engagements alone in recent days, he simply does not want his wife to accompany him to his native country for a very specific reason.It’s still dangerous, all it takes is one person, someone who believes the rumors they’ve read. Whether it’s with a knife, or acid, or whatever, those are real fears for me. This is one of the reasons why I don’t want my wife to return to this country.” he explained in a recent interview on British television.
Charles III does not want a “FaceTime relationship“with Harry’s children
The former American actress should therefore stay in California, with her two children Archie and Lilibet. A situation that King Charles III deplores. According to royal expert Ingrid Seward, Prince Harry’s father would have more and more difficulty tolerating the distance with his grandchildren, whom he has very rarely seen. “Family was always important to the king. He remembers his childhood as somewhat fragmented, as his parents were always busy doing their duty. It is a great sadness for him not to see Archie and Lilibet more often.she confided to the Mirror. That’s why he’ll never break ties with Harry. He doesn’t want a FaceTime relationship with his son’s children. He wants to know them and get involved in their lives while they are still quite young to be able to learn from his wisdom. His cancer has made this situation all the more poignant for him, because he knows he won’t be here forever.”
A cry from the heart that will perhaps be heard by William’s brother. Last February, he did not hesitate to immediately visit his father who had just announced that he was fighting cancer. “I love my family. I was able to fly to see him and spend time with him. I’m grateful for that.”he declared on an American channel.
