King Charles Reportedly Has ‘Great Sadness’ Over Estranged Relationship With Prince Harry’s Children: ‘Hardly Knows’ Archie And Lilibet

King Charles 'Hardly Knows' His Two US-Based Grandchildren 

King Charles has met Prince Archie, who was born in London, a handful of times, but he has seemingly only met Lilibet, who was born in California, once. This was back in June 2022 during the late Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee, with the celebrations coinciding with Lilibet's first birthday.

Speaking to The Mirror about King Charles' estranged relationship with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, who live in Montecito, California with their parents, royal commentator Jennie Bond said: "It must remain a great sadness to the king to be so distant from his two US-based grandchildren."

"He hardly knows them and there's no prospect of that changing anytime soon," she continued.

"The early years in a child's life are so magical — and once they're gone, they're gone. I hope the king doesn't dwell on his loss too much, but it must hurt," Bond added, before going on to speculate that Prince Harry and Meghan may have sent the monarch some updates on his grandchildren without the media knowing about it.

"Maybe, behind the scenes, Harry and Meghan have sent pictures to the king," Bond wondered.
