The distance between King Charles III and his U.S.-based grandkids, Archie and Lilibet, has taken a toll on the monarch’s emotional well-being. According to royal expert Jennie Bond, 76-year-old King Charles hardly knows his young grandchildren, having only seen them a few times. This lack of connection reportedly brings great sadness to the king.
Despite his desire to build a relationship with Archie (5) and Lilibet (3), prospects seem bleak. The strained relationship between King Charles and Prince Harry has been further exacerbated by recent events. Sources indicate that Prince Harry declined his father’s offer to stay at Buckingham Palace during an upcoming UK visit, opting for alternative accommodations instead. This decision has been perceived as another setback in mending their fractured relationship.
King Charles has faced numerous health challenges, including a public battle with cancer earlier this year. Despite these setbacks, he has continued to fulfill his royal duties, demonstrating remarkable resilience amidst personal and familial difficulties.
