Prince Harry and Meghan Markle moved to America when they left the Royal Family and now live in Montecito with their two children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet
King Charles doesn’t have a relationship with his two youngest grandchildren but he’s eager to change that, according to a royal expert.
The monarch has had very few chances to see Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet as the youngsters live in America with their parents Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex relocated to the US when they left the Royal Family four years ago.
Since then, they’ve rarely brought their children back to the UK amid security fears and a bitter feud with the royals. Royal expert Jennie Bond has said the King would now love the chance to get to know his grandchildren.

“Having grandchildren is a powerful tug on the heartstrings. Little people who are part of your bloodline and have had nothing to do with family quarrels and tensions,” she told OK! magazine.
She said the youngsters might convince Charles and Harry to “forgive, if not forget, the bitter rows of the past.” Jennie added: “I fervently hope that Harry will not follow Meghan’s example of remaining obdurately estranged from her father and most of her family.”

The King has only met Lilibet once and Archie just a handful of times. Royal author Tom Quinn told The Mirror Charles is “in discussions to visit America” to see Harry, Meghan and their two kids.
Queen Camilla is also thought to be encouraging efforts to boost their bond after Charles sent Lilibet a “heartfelt gift and card” for her third birthday earlier this month. Tom told us: “Charles has had discussions about an official visit to the United States at some time in the future, and there is no doubt if it goes ahead he would build in time to visit his youngest son and his grandchildren, but there are mountains of planning to be overcome before that becomes even a remote possibility.”
He continued: “King Charles has privately visited many other countries – he made an unpublicised visit to Transylvania for example to check up on his rental properties – so it’s certainly possible that he would make a discreet private visit to Harry and the children in California. He is desperate to see them and hates the idea that Archie and Lily will not remember him as the warm friendly grandfather he wants to be.”
