King Charles is determined to maintain a relationship with his estranged son, Prince Harry, driven by his love for his grandchildren, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, according to a royal author.
Royal commentator Ingrid Seward discussed the Monarch's family values in her book My Mother and I: The Inside Story of the King and Our Late Queen. As reported by Express.co.uk, she wrote, "Family has always been important to the King. He remembers his own somewhat fragmented childhood as his parents were always busy doing their duty."
Ingrid added, "It is a great sadness to him that he doesn't see more of Archie and Lilibet."
The royal expert claimed that the cancer-stricken Charles will "never break ties with Harry" because he "does not want a FaceTime relationship with his son's children." The King "wants to know them and be involved in their lives while they are still young enough to learn from his wisdom."
"His cancer has made it all the more poignant to him as he knows that he won't be around forever," she further shared.
It is pertinent to mention that the Duke of Sussex stepped down from his senior working royal role alongside his wife Meghan Markle in 2020. Since their departure from the UK, the couple has made controversial statements against the royal family, straining their relationships over time.
