King Charles Yet to Meet Grandchildren After Their Move to Britain

Summary

King Charles has not seen Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet since they arrived in the United Kingdom, though a reunion before Christmas is being arranged.

King Charles has not met his grandchildren, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, since the children relocated to the United Kingdom in October. Sources said the monarch was hoping to spend more time with them, but no meeting has been scheduled despite promises from Prince Harry.

Royal commentator Rob Shuter reported that a gathering involving Charles, Harry, Meghan Markle, Queen Camilla and the children is expected before Christmas, though the exact date and venue have not been disclosed. An insider described the planned encounter as a deliberate appointment rather than an informal visit, emphasizing that the royal family is working to maintain a fragile reconciliation.

"This is not a casual ‘let’s get together sometime.’ Nobody drops in on the King. If Harry and Meghan are in Charles’s diary, it is because he wants them there. This is deliberate," an insider told Shuter’s publication.
