Lilibet, who was born in the United States, has reportedly only met her grandfather on one occasion. Speculation from a PR expert suggests that Harry, a former army man, might be considering returning home with his children in light of his father's health struggles. Currently, Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, reside in Montecito, California, with their children. Carrat further elaborated, "Meetings with the King have been sparse, and they don't have a relationship with their maternal grandfather, so I suspect Harry would like to grow their relationship with King Charles. And now that the kids are a little bit older, I am certain Archie and Lilibet will be making more frequent visits to the UK."
The publicist expressed hopes that their father's illness would bring Harry and his estranged brother, Prince William, 41, closer together in the future. Additionally, Carrat believes this situation could allow Archie and Lilibet to develop a closer bond with their cousins, George, Charlotte, and Louis. However, she acknowledges that building these relationships will take time. Tensions have existed between Harry, William, and the rest of the royal family since Harry and Meghan stepped down as senior members and relocated to North America. While the couple has criticized the royal family in the past, their tone appears to be shifting following the news of the king's health crisis.
Harry recently appeared in an interview with Good Morning America, where he expressed his love for his family and gratitude for being able to spend time with his father. He stated, "Look, I love my family. The fact that I was able to get on a plane, go and see him, and spend any time with him—I'm grateful for that." Harry also revealed his plans for future trips to England, expressing his intention to visit his family again soon.
