King Charles III is reportedly deeply saddened by the distance between himself and his estranged son,
Prince Harry, and the resulting lack of relationship with his grandchildren, Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3.
According to royal expert Jennie Bond, this situation has left the monarch heartbroken, as he has little to no connection with his youngest grandchildren, who live in the United States.
Since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped back from their royal duties in 2020 and relocated to California,
the couple’s relationship with the royal family has become increasingly strained.
This distance has meant that King Charles, now 76, rarely sees his grandchildren and hardly knows them personally.
The public expressions of longing from both King Charles and Thomas Markle underscore the emotional toll that the strained relationships have taken on family members. Despite the royal family’s longstanding duty to uphold traditions and the monarchy, it’s clear that the personal struggles of King Charles and other family members have been heavily influenced by the distance between them and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
As the situation continues to evolve, it remains uncertain whether Prince Harry and Meghan will seek to reconcile with the royal family and allow more opportunities for the King and others to build a relationship with their children. For now, King Charles and Thomas Markle will likely continue to wait for a chance to bridge the gap with their estranged grandchildren.
