Last year, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were forced to leave Frogmore Cottage after being asked to vacate the property by King Charles.
However, since then, the King has not had the opportunity to meet his grandchildren, Archie and Lilibet, in person.
This situation has left royal commentator Michael Cole feeling disheartened.
According to Cole, the King’s decision to ask Prince Harry and his wife to leave Frogmore Cottage has resulted in a lack of contact with his grandchildren.
“Doesn’t the King want to see his grandchildren?”
Harry questioned when confronted with the eviction.
It is evident that the King has hardly spent any time with Prince Archie, and it is uncertain if he has even seen Princess Lilibet more than once.
Cole describes this as a “very sad state of affairs.”
Cole further explains that the King is likely experiencing feelings of hurt and disappointment due to the distance between him and his grandchildren since Megxit.
“It would be quite natural for any man to wish to see his grandchildren,” Cole adds.
He emphasizes that the King has always been fond of his children, grandchildren, and godchildren, making the lack of contact with Archie and Lilibet all the more upsetting for him.
Unfortunately, it appears that it will be a considerable amount of time before Prince Harry returns to the country with his children.
Mike Tyndall, a member of the royal family, confirmed that nobody within the family has had the opportunity to meet Archie and Lilibet.
In fact, during the Platinum Jubilee in 2022, a secret lunch was held for the late Queen’s grandchildren and their spouses, but Harry and Meghan were not invited.
Tyndall reveals that while the rest of the family enjoyed a meal at Buckingham Palace after the Trooping the Colour event, Harry and Meghan chose to return to Frogmore Cottage.
This decision was likely influenced by the ongoing rumors of a rift between Harry and his family.
Tyndall explains that the cousins who watched the event from the Major General’s office went for a lunch together, excluding Harry and Meghan.
The venue for this private lunch remains undisclosed, but it is known that a previous gathering in March included the Tyndalls, Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie, and their respective spouses.
This particular lunch took place at the exclusive Scott’s Restaurant in Mayfair.
It is rumored that Harry and Meghan hosted a birthday party for Lilibet during the Jubilee at Frogmore Cottage.
The guest list supposedly included Zara and Mike Tyndall’s children, as well as Peter Phillips and Autumn Kelly’s daughters, among others.
However, it has been revealed that the photos from Lilibet’s birthday were actually taken at a Montecito mansion, not Frogmore Cottage.
The Sussexes’ PR team has been spreading rumors about the Tyndalls attending the party, but it turns out they did not.
Contrary to initial reports, there was no birthday celebration for Lilibet during the Queen’s Jubilee.
In conclusion, the lack of contact between King Charles and his grandchildren, Archie and Lilibet, has left the royal family in a somber state.
