King Charles Opens Up About His Distance from Archie and Lilibet: 'Hardly Knows' His Grandchildren
King Charles is reportedly feeling the emotional impact of Megxit, particularly when it comes to his relationship with his grandchildren, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. As the royal ties between the Sussexes and the rest of the royal family continue to fray, Charles has admitted that he hardly knows his youngest family members.
Since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made the bold decision to step back from royal duties in January 2020 in order to "carve out a progressive new role" and achieve financial independence, their ties to the monarchy have become increasingly distant. King Charles, who once had a close relationship with his son Harry, has seen his grandsons less frequently than he would have hoped.
Charles has reportedly only seen his grandson, Archie, a few times during his early childhood. Meanwhile, his relationship with Princess Lilibet is even more strained, having had just one meeting with her since her birth. With the Sussexes now residing in California, the King is left to observe his grandchildren growing up from afar, largely through social media posts and occasional family photos.
Royal commentator Jennie Bond weighed in on the situation, suggesting that the distance between the King and his grandchildren is causing him deep emotional pain. "The early years in a child's life are so magical, and once they're gone, they're gone," Bond said. "I hope the King doesn’t dwell on his loss too much, but it must hurt."
Indeed, the emotional toll of this separation is something that likely weighs heavily on Charles. As the head of the royal family, he may be caught between his public duties and the private heartbreak of being distanced from his own family.
Meghan Markle's New Culinary Venture Marks a New Phase
Meanwhile, Meghan Markle is diving into a fresh new chapter of her life with the launch of her Netflix series, *With Love, Meghan*. The series, which centers around Meghan's passions for cooking, gardening, and hosting, represents a significant evolution in her personal and professional journey.
Jennie Bond remarked that Meghan's move into the lifestyle space is a natural progression for the Duchess. "She was already aiming to be a lifestyle guru before Harry came along, so it makes perfect sense for her to pursue this avenue," Bond explained.
With the spotlight now fully on Meghan and her latest venture, the royal family—especially King Charles—continues to face the emotional realities of their strained connections, all while the Sussexes build their lives far from the British monarchy.
