Prince Harry, Meghan Markle Set to Take Major Step for Archie and Lilibet's Connection with King Charles
King Charles, known for his affectionate relationship with his grandchildren, may soon receive some joyful news involving his grandkids, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
Since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped down from their senior royal duties and moved to the U.S., their children, Archie (5) and Lilibet (3), have had limited contact with the royal family. This distance has kept them from forming bonds with their royal relatives, including Harry’s brother Prince William, his wife Kate, and their cousins, as well as their paternal grandparents, King Charles and Queen Camilla.
However, there may be a significant change on the horizon. According to former royal correspondent Jennie Bond, Harry and Meghan’s recent property purchase in Portugal could be a step towards bridging that gap.
Bond shared with *OK! Magazine* that the family’s new home in Portugal could provide an opportunity for the children to connect with their royal relatives. She suggested that with political shifts, such as Donald Trump’s potential return to the White House, Harry and Meghan may spend more time in Portugal, particularly during school holidays.
This move could also bring the children closer to European culture and possibly even pave the way for visits to the UK to meet their royal family members. Bond pointed out how sad it would be if Archie and Lilibet were to grow up without knowing their royal relatives, given that they are part of one of the world’s most famous families.
The idea of Archie and Lilibet not knowing their grandfather, King Charles, and their uncle, Prince William, is a sentiment echoed by royal experts. Bond expressed concern about the estrangement, noting that it would be “heartbreaking” for the children to know their grandfather and uncle held such prominent positions as monarchs, yet they had no connection with them.
Royal experts have also suggested that King Charles feels deeply saddened by the lack of interaction with his grandchildren. Reports indicate that both Charles and William have started to soften their stance towards Harry, though no official confirmation has been made about any potential reconciliation.
For now, the possibility of Archie and Lilibet finally building a relationship with their royal family remains hopeful, with their parents’ decisions playing a crucial role in this future development.
