Speculation arises that King Charles may take Meghan Markle's preferences into consideration when choosing a birthday present for Prince Archie.
Reports from Mirror suggest that as Prince Archie turns five on Monday, May 6, his grandfather, King Charles, intends to present him with a meaningful gift.
While Prince Harry will be in the UK for an Invictus Games event this week, Meghan, along with Archie and their daughter Lilibet, will remain in the States. However, it's believed that King Charles still plans to send Archie a birthday gift, despite their physical distance on this special day.
Royal expert Tom Quinn suggests that the monarch may opt for a card and a small present, with the possibility of including one of his own watercolor paintings. This choice aligns with Meghan's appreciation for homemade gifts and her aversion to extravagant presents.
Quinn elaborates, noting concerns within King Charles's team that any gift sent to Archie may be misconstrued by Harry and Meghan. Notably, Prince Harry has expressed reservations about grand gestures, such as the hand-made swing engraved with Prince George's name, previously gifted by King Charles.
Additionally, Quinn suggests that King Charles may consider arranging a video call with his youngest son to celebrate Archie's birthday. Despite his discomfort with new technology, the monarch is eager to maintain contact with his grandchildren across the Atlantic. However, Charles's aides indicate his unease with video calls, preferring traditional telephone communication to avoid interactions with Meghan, which he finds daunting.
