While opportunities for him to meet Archie and Lilibet have been virtually non-existent, Charles is believed to be a doting grandfather to his grandchildren via his eldest son, Prince William.

Unlike their cousins, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis enjoy healthy relationships with their grandfather, who has been described as a “fantastic and enthusiastic grandpa”.

According to the Mirror, a source revealed: “The King is absolutely committed to being present in all of his grandchildren’s lives. He values family above everything and whatever the course of his ­relationship with his son he would never be content with just seeing his grandchildren on the odd video call.”

Just how Charles will go about broaching the subject with Harry and Meghan remains to be seen, especially since the Sussexes have appeared resolute in their stance that they were repeatedly wronged by the monarchy while still working members.

Following their decision to retire from royal life, Harry and Meghan took the virtually unprecedented step of going public with their frustrations, first in a bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey, then via their candid Netflix series.

Finally came Harry’s tell-all memoir, Spare, in which he pulled no punches while airing the grievances that plagued his days as a working royal.
