Charles would like to spend more time with Harry’s children while Harry is looking for a home in the UK. And the sign of a double attempt at rapprochement between the king and the Duke of Sussex? Too early to tell. For now, the official reason for the sovereign’s desire would be his “great sadness” that he would feel for the lack of a relationship with little Archie and Lilibet, who live in California and with whom he does not have frequent relationships, since he does not have any has with their father and his wife Meghan. On the other hand, Harry would like to have support in Great Britain so he can meet his friends more often.

The King’s cancer diagnosis has made his relationships with his grandchildren “even more poignant” as he knows he “won’t be here forever”, writes the Mirror. By extension, this means that Charles will never completely remove Harry from his life, despite the positions expressed by the Duke in interviews with him in his autobiography Spare, which went against the royal family. Ingrid Seward, author of the book ‘My Mother and I: The Inside Story of the King and Our Late Queen’, declares that «family has always been important to the king. She remembers his childhood being somewhat fragmented because his parents were always busy. It is a great sadness for him not to see Archie and Lilibet anymore.”

«This is why Carlo will never break ties with Harry. He doesn’t want a long-distance relationship with his son’s children – concludes the royal expert – he wants to get to know them and be involved in their lives, while they are still young enough to learn from his wisdom. His cancer has made this even more poignant for him because he knows he won’t be here forever.” In short, according to insiders, the king is determined to build a relationship with Prince Harry’s children and be part of their lives. The monarch, who has been undergoing treatment for cancer since February, expressed his dissatisfaction at only seeing them via video calls, after meeting five-year-old Archie only a few times and two-year-old Lilibet just once. His decision to step up efforts to be more involved comes as it is understood he sent Lilibet a “gift and greeting card” for her recent birthday.

Returning to Harry, GbNews writes that the duke is looking for a base in the United Kingdom since his friends do not visit him in the United States due to differences with Meghan Markle. The TV channel claims Charles’ second son wants a home after being evicted from his royal residence Frogmore Cottage last year. Harry has lived in California with his wife Meghan Markle since 2020. Royal commentator Tom Quinn said the duke is “sad” because he has no British address and misses some of his old friends. «As time passes – the expert explained – the Duke misses some aspects of his old life in the United Kingdom. Inevitably, the honeymoon period, when everything in the United States is new and exciting, is coming to an end and Harry looks at the past through rose-colored glasses.”
