King Charles feels “great sadness” over his lack of a relationship with Prince Harry‘s children, Archie and Lilibet, and it means there is one move he would “never” take against his younger son.

That’s according to a royal author and commentator, who says the King’s cancer diagnosis has made his relationships with his grandchildren “all the more poignant” as he knows he “won’t be around forever.” And this means he will never fully cut Harry out of his life, even with the estranged Duke of Sussex quitting royal life and making a series of bombshell claims from the US.




Ingrid Seward, who penned the book My Mother and I: The Inside Story of the King and Our Late Queen, said: “Family has always been important to the King. He remembers his own somewhat fragmented childhood as his parents were always busy doing their duty. It is a great sadness to him he doesn’t see more of Archie and Lilibet.

“That is why he will never break ties with Harry. He does not want a FaceTime relationship with his son’s children. He wants to know them and be involved with their lives while they are still young enough to be able to learn from his wisdom. His cancer has made it all the more poignant to him as he knows that he won’t be around forever.”

The King is determined to build a relationship with Prince Harry’s children and be a part of their lives, according to insiders.


The monarch, who has been undergoing cancer treatment since February, has expressed his dissatisfaction with only seeing them via video calls after meeting Archie, five, only a few times and two-year-old Lilibet once. His decision to increase efforts to be more involved comes as it’s revealed he sent Lili a “heartfelt gift and card” on her recent birthday.

Sources close to the 75-year-old King, who was in Normandy last week for D-Day commemorations, say he is “keener than ever” to focus on his family and duties and “make up for lost time” after being forced to reduce engagements due to his diagnosis.
