Really? How the feckin’ hell does a rabid tabloid know what Chuck thinks about this. Nice chats over video away from the courtiers and listening ears of the royal ‘servants’ is exactly what is needed. I hope they are enjoying the private time emensley!

King Charles is 'not content' with just seeing Harry and Meghan Markle's children, Archie and Lilibet, over video calls, royal sources have revealed.

And enjoying copious amounts of tea cakes with Meghan’s jam. 😉

It's either guff or they are paving the way for M&H to come back into the fold.

"He has only met the Sussex children a handful of times since they were born, and wants to 'make up for lost time"
When did he meet them?

I think Charles only met Lilibet one time and has seen Archie a couple of times? So that would mean he's 'met the Sussex children' (together) just the once.

And oh gawd, spare me from 'sources close to ...'.

I have a feeling William might have rather a lot to say about that. And given that the RF has been utterly tight-lipped about the whole H&M situation and has not responded to any provocations, I question what side this 'royal source' is speaking for.

I honestly cannot see them returning . Didn’t Meghan say she wasn’t setting foot in the U.K. again ? They cannot be trusted . The fact that H and M only found it about Catherine’s cancer along with the rest of the world shows they are firmly “ out”.

It’s just unfathomable to me how much venom you can spit at total strangers whom you’ll never meet, who have surely never done anything to you, and mention of whom can be almost entirely avoided by simply not reading trash.

You must realise how unpleasant using phrases like this makes you sound? Surely?

EdithWeston · 11/06/2024 09:48

I think this is just one of the routine pieces in the annual will they/won't they go to Balmoral set of baseless filler articles.

It's saying nothing (other than the obvious "people generally like to see their families in person")

Voting for guff/puff designed to make C look good knowing Harold will see hell freeze over before bringing his dc to an island bristling with dangers and Mrs Harold is unlikely to set foot on UK soil for longer than a plane layover.

It has a similar ring to sources claiming C is 'determined' to oust Andrew from Royal Lodge.

Nothing's happened. Nothing will.

This is the issue really. Members of a royal family, or indeed representatives of any head of state, are essentially ambassadors of their nation. Meghan and Harry have criticised the UK on a world stage - the implied accusations of racism, that it’s not safe, the press is awful, the government is ‘rock bottom’. All those things affect the UK and its people. For example I have been called ‘racist’ online simply because I dare to defend the UK to people intent on denigrating it. I give up now as my lived experience as a POC living here in safety and without discrimination is dismissed. That’s how it affects me.

I suspect Meghan would be here in a heartbeat with her kids if she could get a photo of them with the King, one that she could use as spin for whenever she wanted, other than that I would say she has no desire for Harry or the kids to have any involvement or relationship with King Charles or the family.

I also think King Charles is probably not the most available grandfather and is not pining away about not having H& M’ kids popping in.

Yes! And hopping In and out of a Royal carriage !

what’s the betting when the kids do get to an age where they will marry, their parents will be clamoring for a Royal location !

So many dangers that he'd rather stay in a hotel than go to a palace where he'd have security - just not the security he thinks he should have.

I think they are getting the UK mixed up with Jamaica. Or indeed Nigeria. Both bristling with danger according to governmental advice on both sides of the pond. But then, if it’s one’s ego that is in danger….? Well, a couple of middle aged Brits behind a security barrier booing you will be fatal to the extremely fragile self esteem of the rampant narcissist. Better off taking their chances with murderers and religious extremists.

LizzieBennett73 · 11/06/2024 21:19

I don't think that Charles is having friendly video calls when he couldn't spare more than 15 minutes in person to see his son lately.

And as a grandparent myself, I'd imagine he's pretty devastated to not be in their lives but I would imagine that he has little choice. Harry has turned out to be a pretty nasty piece of work and I'm not sure Meghan is much better.
