Why is Charles disappointed Archie and Lillibet not coming?

255 replies

Charles has said he is disappointed Archie and Lillibet are not coming to the Coronation. But the children were not invited to anything at the Coronation weekend.
Charles will be busy the whole weekend with Coronation events and meeting officials. So why has he said he is disappointed when he would not even see them/ If he wanted to see them he should have invited them to something.

FFS. How do you know they weren't invited to something? And moaning that a grandparent wanted to see his grandchildren is just ridiculous. Leave the family alone.

Because he knows that most of the British public, and most of his family find all the H&M shenanigans profoundly embarrassing and unpleasant. So Charles, King of Perversity, wants to rub everyone’s noses in it.

Inkanta · 14/04/2023 14:52

Yes it's a bit of spin. The papers having a go - rubbing it in.

TheMarsian · 14/04/2023 15:12

Because it makes him look good and a kind grandfather whilst the optic of H&M are awful is kept too??

That is IF he actually said that.
If he hasn’t, we’ll we’re back at the press finding something to best H&M with. This time they are depriving the king from seeing his grandchildren….

Perhaps he shouldn’t have chosen Archie’s birthday to put his very special hat on then 🤔

IcedPurple · 14/04/2023 15:25

Charles has said he is disappointed Archie and Lillibet are not coming to the Coronation.

Really? When did he say that and to whom?

SirChenjins · 14/04/2023 15:28

Why don’t you phone or email him and ask him? I’m afraid none of us know and so can’t advise. Soz.

Inkanta · 14/04/2023 15:32

It's another leaked story from the palace.

Bluekerfuffle · 14/04/2023 15:50

Do they have to be invited to a special role in the coronation for their parents to think it’s worth taking them to see their grandfather? The parents were invited to attend, one of them is going to, the other chose not to, but it would have been a good enough reason to take the grandchildren for a visit with their grandfather.

It’s not as if Archie couldn’t have had a birthday party here.

@Bluekerfuffle charles will be a bit busy with the various Coronation events. Since the kids are not invited to any of them then he would not have seen them even if they had come to Britain.

The Beast is reporting that Charles only met Archie three times when the Sussex were in Britain.
William has said that Charles rarely sees his children.

Maybe stop believing everything that you read. None of us here know how Charles feels about anything to do with this situation.

LadyH846 · 14/04/2023 15:55

Why do you think this story is true when the media makes up so much shit about the royal family? Haven't you got anything more important in your life to worry about?

There is always the day before or after, even if he couldn’t squeeze them in that day, (which we don’t know). Coming for the coronation wouldn’t mean they would have to arrive in the country a second before it started and leave on the dot when it finished.

Why would a toddler and a barely 4 year old be invited to a long boring ceremony with people they don't know?

I'm sure if there are any family friendly Coronation events, they would be invited. But their parents made the choice for them to stay at home in California, so the point, such as it is, is moot.

Why are you getting so indignant on the basis of media speculation? You know they often simply make stuff up?

Show quote history

He won’t even know which day of the week his birthday is on. If he’s told the party and presents are the day before or after, he won’t be checking the calendar.

I went to work on my children’s birthdays. They went to school once they were that age.

@AskMeMore I’m intrigued as how you sort out Media Stories To Believe from Vile Media Stories. Please tell us the magic formula.

I'm no Einstein, but I think I can work out this 'magic formula' myself.

The 'vileness' of 'media stories' seems to depend on precisely which members of the royal family are shown in a bad light.

@LadyMuckingabout Two separate stories in different publications saying Charles rarely sees different grandchildren tends to hint there is some truth to it.
I mean he is not unusual, lots of fathers of that age do not really bother with small children, even when they are related.
But the hypocrisy of claiming he is disappointed they are not coming to the coronation annoys me. If he really wanted to see them he should have invited them to one of the other events.

And the Beast tends to be very reliable. It also posts negative and positive stories.

Again, where did Charles say he was disappointed? Are you just uncritically believing speculation from 'sources'? And then getting 'annoyed' about it?

And which 'event' did Charles not invite the kids to? And where has this lack of invitation been confirmed?

Could you be specific?

LadyMuckingabout · 14/04/2023 16:10

Ah, so by your logic 50 separate stories in 50 different publications about H or M must have a grain of truth in them?!

LadyMuckingabout · 14/04/2023 16:11

Actually not a grain of truth, the Sahara Desert of truth!

Charles has not invited the children to any Coronation events. This has been widely reported.
I mean if you don't believe any news stories why do you even believe the coronation is happening at all?
