King Charles grapples with the reality of his strained relationship with Prince Harry, facing the harsh truth about what he is losing.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who have two children, Prince Archie (5) and Princess Lilibet (3), haven't visited the UK since 2022. According to Majesty magazine’s Joe Little, King Charles must come to terms with the possibility of never meeting his grandchildren again.
“It would be great to think that at some point soon the King would get to visit the grandchildren that he has seen very little of,” Little told The Mirror. "But he is 75 and still not in the best of health."
Little also mentioned that a visit to America is unlikely given the other demands on Charles's time. “It's an incredibly sad situation that few would have predicted even five years ago.”
Reports suggest that the monarch is desperate to maintain a relationship with his US-based grandchildren. However, with Prince Harry declaring the UK as “unsafe” for his family, the chances of a reunion with Charles are slim.
Royal author Margaret Holder noted that King Charles’s health issues make long-distance travel or “private travels” difficult. “It is very difficult for the monarch to travel as a private person. All kinds of diplomacy would have to be involved to get the King into California,” she explained. “So, King Charles is forced to be a distant grandfather that the grandchildren never see.”
