Prince Harry, in his memoir "Spare," asserted that his father, King Charles, "never gives hugs." However, in the new documentary "Charles III: The Coronation Year," the tender King is depicted countering Harry's allegations through sweet interactions with his loved ones.
One notable moment features Charles bending down to embrace Prince George and Prince Louis, displaying genuine affection. The monarch also shares warm moments with Princess Charlotte, who pays homage with a curtsey while adorned in a pale blue patterned dress and a white cardigan.
Bishop of Hereford Richard Jackson, sharing his impressions, notes, "I think what struck me particularly was how extraordinarily affectionate they are. They're clearly a very close family, all the generations. In a sense, you felt you're part of a family occasion as well as a royal occasion and a national occasion," as told to the Telegraph.
This touching moment follows Prince Harry's accusation of Charles lacking affection. In his book, Harry wrote about the older generation maintaining a "nearly zero-tolerance prohibition on all physical contact," emphasizing the absence of hugs, kisses, or pats. However, the heartening video counters these claims, portraying a visibly affectionate King Charles.
On a separate note, Monday saw Princess Kate, Prince William, and their family joining King Charles for a Christmas service, with disgraced royal Prince Andrew awkwardly positioned to one side.
