Since the Sussexes relocated to Montecito, California, there has been little opportunity for the King to bond with Archie and Lilibet.

This absence of quality time with his grandchildren, whom he cherishes dearly, is a source of deep sorrow for the King.

The Duke of Sussex’s children are kept at a distance, a result of both physical separation and tensions within the royal family.

According to insights shared by reporter Tom Quinn with the Mirror, the King longs to create lasting memories with Archie and Lilibet, yearning for them to remember him as the affectionate and caring grandfather he strives to be.

Young Archie, born in May 2019, has had scarce interactions with his paternal grandparents, including the Prince of Wales, as well as his paternal cousins George, Charlotte, and Louis.

Despite the Sussexes’ occasional visits to the UK, there is scant evidence to suggest that Archie and Lilibet Diana have had the chance to forge connections with their British relatives.

The absence of any family photographs further shrouds this situation in mystery, leaving unanswered questions lingering in the air.

The rift within the royal family has only deepened following the publication of the Duke’s memoirs and the airing of the documentary “Harry and Meghan” on Netflix.
