King Charles III, recently in the spotlight due to health issues and his strained relationship with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, has sparked controversy with his heartfelt wish.
The 75-year-old monarch is reportedly desperate to spend more time with his US-based grandchildren. However, experts argue that his decision to evict the family from their Windsor home suggests other priorities.
An insider claims King Charles is "absolutely committed" to building a relationship with Archie and Lilibet and is dissatisfied with only knowing them via video calls, according to the Mirror.
Critics question the sincerity of this desire, pointing out that if the King genuinely wanted to see more of the Sussexes, he wouldn’t have stripped them of their UK residence. Many believe the cancer-stricken King’s actions have made it difficult for the Duke to visit his homeland, possibly to prevent him from establishing a rival court.
Meghan and Harry’s supporter Omid Scobie described Charles' decision to evict Harry as "a cheap shot from a wounded father bound by an institutional system intolerant of human emotion."
In his book "Endgame," Scobie claims that Harry himself questioned his father, asking, "Don’t you want to see your grandchildren again?" when told to vacate Frogmore Cottage.
The Sussexes considered Frogmore Cottage their "only true safe option when visiting the United Kingdom," according to Scobie.
This controversy unfolds amid reports of King Charles' heartbreaking desire to connect with his American grandchildren, who have lived in Montecito with their parents since Harry and Meghan stepped down as senior royals in 2020.
Additionally, there are reports that Prince Harry is searching for a permanent UK base, as his friends avoid visiting him in the US due to tensions with Meghan Markle.
