The ongoing feud within the British royal family has had a significant impact on the relationship between King Charles and his grandchildren, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. Despite their royal titles, bestowed after the passing of their great-grandmother Queen Elizabeth, King Charles has been deprived of the opportunity to form any meaningful bond with Harry’s children.
According to royal expert Tom Quinn, King Charles has expressed a desire to visit Harry and his family in the United States “at some time in the future.” However, there are several obstacles to overcome before this becomes a possibility. Quinn further added, “It’s certainly possible that he would make a discreet private visit to Harry and the children in California. He is desperate to see them and hates the idea that Archie and Lily will not remember him as the warm, friendly grandfather he wants to be.”
However, the question of the King meeting Archie and Lili on British soil remains uncertain due to their mother, Meghan Markle’s concerns about their security. Meghan has been vocal about not wanting her children to visit their father’s homeland, as she believes it poses a security risk. When Harry and Meghan stepped down from their royal duties, they were no longer entitled to receive taxpayer-funded royal security while in the UK.
Recently, on June 4th, Princess Lilibet Diana celebrated her 3rd birthday in California, at Harry and Meghan’s Montecito home. Despite the presence of celebrities such as Orlando Bloom, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Oprah Winfrey, no members of the British royal family were in attendance. However, King Charles did send a gift and birthday wishes to his granddaughter, as reported by the Mirror.
Despite this gesture, it seems that King Charles has an even more significant gift planned for Lili, but he is waiting for the family dispute to be resolved before presenting it to her. Royal expert Tom Quinn shared that King Charles had previously given Prince George a hand-made wooden swing with his name carved on it and intends to offer something similar to Lilibet. However, this gift will not be given until the family feud has subsided.
It has been claimed that the reason no royals were present at Lilibet’s birthday celebration is simply that they did not receive invitations. Furthermore, it seems that Harry intentionally did not invite any family members, as he knew they wouldn’t come and didn’t want them there. However, this decision saddens Harry, as it means that Archie and Lilibet cannot develop a relationship with their cousins while the feud continues.
In conclusion, it is our sincere hope that the British royals will be able to mend their relationships in the future, allowing for a harmonious and loving family dynamic.
