King Charles has a large number of grandchildren to show his love to. While their cousins Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet live much farther away, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis all reside in the neighborhood. The fact that Charles hasn’t had much opportunity to spend quality time with Harry and Meghan’s children because they live in California.
On May 6, Charles was crowned, and his grandson Archie celebrated his fourth birthday. Since Archie and Lilibet weren’t present, it’s been reported that the new monarch made a toast in honor of the boy. When Lilibet turns two years old, it doesn’t appear that Charles will be able to attend her birthday party in person either unless something drastically changes.
Despite this, the king will undoubtedly remember Lilibet’s birthday. Apparently, he is going to send her the cutest present, according to reports.
The visit of Prince Harry to the UK for King Charles’s coronation was brief; according to reports, he left right after the ceremony at Westminster Abbey.
Lilibet and Archie, two of Harry’s children, were absent from the coronation.
Before the event started, Harry had a long conversation with his cousin and her husband, Jack Brooksbank, while sitting in the Abbey. Many people watched the Duke during the ceremony to see how he would respond. He greeted several guests and appeared to be in good spirits.
Harry joined the other guests in one of the many renditions of “God Save the King,” despite the fact that he may no longer support the monarchy. ”.
According to all reports, Prince William and King Charles have reportedly decided not to read Spare, Harry’s explosive tell-all memoir in which he made a number of fresh accusations against the royal family. Naturally, his relationships with his brother and father are at an all-time low, and while Harry was in the UK, there were reportedly no signs of a reconciliation between the three of them.
In an interview with The Sun, lip-reading specialist Jerey Freeman identified several things that Harry is alleged to have told Brooksbank prior to the start of the coronation ceremony. The Duke, according to him, was groaning and muttering, “I’m tired of the way they treat me. ”.
According to reports, Harry had been invited to the family lunch but declined. King Charles was “truly quite disappointed that he didn’t stay,” the Daily Mail reported. The other royals reportedly “breathed a sigh of relief” that Harry skipped the lunch while the king reportedly “felt sad.
At the buffet-style lunch, Charles toasted the three grandchildren who were present on his special day: Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. The king then gave a toast to “those that weren’t there,” a reference to Archie and Lilibet, among others.
He continued by wishing his young grandson a very happy birthday “wherever he was”.
According to our source, it was a very sweet moment, as reported by the Daily Mail.
First meeting with Lilibet was “very emotional” for King Charles.
Meghan, Archie, and Lilibet stayed in the US to attend Archie’s birthday celebrations while Harry went to the coronation alone. We’re unlikely to ever know for sure why Meghan stayed behind, but we do know that tensions between the Sussexes and the British Royal Family are high. It’s unclear whether these tensions will ever be resolved.
For the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebration last year, Harry, Meghan, Archie, and Lilibet visited the UK. Lilibet celebrated her first birthday while they were there, and Charles was said to be “absolutely thrilled” to have the opportunity to meet both her and her older brother.
A royal source told the BBC at the time that Charles and Lilibet, who is now a princess, had a “very emotional” first encounter.
“Seeing them was wonderful. Having them back in Britain was wonderful, the source remarked. When they arrived, the prince and the duchess were overjoyed. He added that spending time with his grandson Archie, now three years old, was also “very, very special” for [then-Prince] Charles”.
“He hadn’t met Lili, his granddaughter, so to meet her was very emotional, a very, very wonderful thing,” the source continued”.
In Harry and Meghan’s Netflix series, fans saw more of Archie and Lilibet. The couple has a notoriously strict policy when it comes to sharing photos of their kids, preferring to keep things private whenever possible.
For Lilibet’s birthday, King Charles intends to give her the “ultimate surprise.”.
According to reports, Lilibet had a large cake for her first birthday in the UK. Archie and Lilibet had brought together a small group of guests for a private backyard picnic at their Frogmore Cottage home, and the event represented a unique chance for them to connect with relatives they don’t often get to see.
On June 4, Lilibet’s second birthday will be honored at her family’s Montecito, California, residence. While the big day’s plans have not been made public, Harry and Meghan have shown they are skilled at making the most of celebrations. Lillibet will probably receive lavish presents and a lot of love on her twond birthday, in addition to a day full of surprises.
According to reports, Princess Beatrice is the only royal to have traveled to the US to see Harry and Meghan. Despite not being able to attend Lilibet’s special day, King Charles reportedly wants to make sure to properly celebrate his granddaughter’s birthday.
According to New Idea, as reported by Express, Charles intends to give Lilibet a lovely gift for her second birthday. The little girl is to receive a gift from the king that she “will use and be hers”.
An insider revealed, “Charles has had his aides look at a custom-made cubby house, similar to what the Queen and Princess Margaret had when they were girls.”.
He wants to give Lili a gift that she can use and call her own. It’s going to be the biggest surprise ever, and she’ll remember it forever!”.
The Duke reportedly told his father to “be less extravagant” even though Harry and Meghan have the means to spoil their kids. ”.
He never stops thinking about them.
“Harry is letting Meghan handle most of Lili’s gifts, but he was talking about adding more British books to the nursery that he used to love as a kid, like the Paddington Bear and Frog and Toad series,” the source continued.
While it was generally agreed that Archie and Lilibet were too young to attend this year’s coronation, it was said that King Charles was disappointed not to be able to see his grandchildren.
The monarch was “pleased” that his son, Harry, attended his special day, a source told The Sun. On the other hand, it was difficult not being able to meet Meghan, Archie, and Lilibet.
The source told the newspaper, “It is sad, he is very disappointed that he won’t see Meghan or his grandchildren but understands the situation.
Naturally, any parent or grandparent is aware of how difficult it is to be separated from their children or grandchildren, even for a short period of time. In the case of King Charles, it has been almost a year since he last saw Archie or Lilibet, and it appears that this is having an impact on him.
In his book OUR KING: Charles III: the Man and the Monarch, royal author Robert Jobson details King Charles’s distress over Archie and Lilibet, who are sixth and seventh in line of succession.
Although there has been friction between Harry and Meghan and the royal family, Jobson claims that Archie and Lilbet are “always in Charles’ heart.”.
royal titles bestowed upon Archie and Lilibet.
Archie and his sister, Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, have not received much of Charles’ attention, according to Robert Jobson, whose book was cited by the Mirror.
“Unfortunately, due to the poor relationship with his second son Prince Harry and his wife Meghan, Charles has spent hardly any quality time with his other grandchildren,” Jobson writes.
“However, those who are close to him claim that he never forgets them. He struggles to deal with his second son’s estrangement from him in part because of this. ”.
Charles went to see Archie for the first time soon after he was born. At that point, Harry and Meghan were already debating leaving the royal life behind in favor of settling abroad.
Jobson explains that a week after Archie was born in May 2019, Charles visited Harry and Meghan at Frogmore Cottage. He was overjoyed as he held the infant boy in his arms. The Sussexes were preparing their break from the Firm even at that time, though. ”.
Archie and Lilibet recently received the royal titles of prince and princess, which is a little surprising. Harry and Meghan referred to the titles as their children’s “birthrights,” adding that they should have the right to choose whether or not to maintain them in the future.
Of course, detractors claim that Harry and Meghan’s focus on the royal family, as evidenced by their Netflix, Spotify, and book deals, is merely a means of financial gain.
Sarah Hewson, a royal authority, asserts that Archie and Lilibet’s new titles may bring their parents financial gain. That is merely conjecture, though.
If you take a look at this and consider the branding, you wouldn’t be wrong, she said.
Royal titles for children: retaliation against Harry and Meghan?
Hewson continued, “When they said they wanted to be away from the family and have a private life, I remember vividly being told they wanted him to be Master Archie, now he is Prince, and Lilibet is Princess.
Richard Eden, a palace insider, charged Harry and Meghan with using their children’s royal titles to avenge King Charles and Camilla in an interview with the Daily Mail. Eden claims that “revenge” is the reason behind the timing of the announcement. ”.
“It does seem to me like Harry and Meghan are getting even. Over the past week, two significant developments have been witnessed. It was revealed last week that they are being forced out of Frogmore Cottage, their only residence in Great Britain, which they described as their forever home.
Then, we discovered that Camilla’s grandchildren would play roles at the coronation. I believe both of these will have displeased Harry and Meghan. Making sure that their children can hold these two titles is what they can do to exact revenge. ”.
