King Charles is reportedly desperate to reunite with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet through reconciliation with Prince Harry and Meghan.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, royal commentator Michael Cole reflected on the monarch’s regret over lack of relationship with his grandchildren and his desperation to do so.
For the unversed, the King has only met Prince Archie, who turned five last month a few times since the Sussexes moved to the US.
Meanwhile, he only got to see his youngest granddaughter once when Harry and Meghan brought their kids to Platinum Jubilee celebration of the late Queen Elizabeth II in 2022.
“The King feels the lack of closeness with his California grandchildren acutely. His own childhood was affected by his parents long absences on extensive Commonwealth tours – some lasting as much as six months,” he told the outlet.
“Painfully aware that time is precious, the King regrets that he cannot be closer to his grandchildren Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet,” Cole explained.
He continued: “The antipathy between Prince Harry and his wife Meghan and the Royal Family has created a deep divide that makes normal family relationships so fraught as to be almost impossible,” Cole explained.
Hence, Cole hinted at the King warming up to the idea of welcoming the Sussexes back to the fold should they accept the offer.
“His only regret is that he does not see Archie and Lilibet. If there was anything calculated to comfort and delight him, it would be for them to be with him on a regular basis,” he shared.
“Unless Harry and Meghan can find in their hearts the love that they say they have for the world and then people in it, apart from her father and most of her family, that looks unlikely,” the former royal correspondent added.
