Prince Charles is attempting to patch things up with his son, Prince Harry, and his daughter-in-law, Meghan Markle. The efforts are motivated by a desire to be involved in his grandchildren’s lives.
During Harry and Meghan’s visit to the United Kingdom in June, Queen Elizabeth met their daughter Lilibet, her namesake, for the first time in person. Now, Katie Nicholl, a royal expert, expressed her concern for Prince Charles by saying, “I think a lot of people don’t don’t see Charles as a doting grandfather, but he absolutely is.” Here is everything to know about the family.

Prince Charles To Patch Things Up With Prince Harry And Meghan Markle
ET recently spoke with royal expert Katie Nicholl. She explained the significance of Harry and Meghan’s children’s emotional meeting with Prince Charles and his wife Camilla. “He’s spent more time in recent years with the Cambridge grandchildren and he’s very, very keen to have a close relationship with Meghan and Harry’s children,” she said.
The private visit coincided with Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations. It marked the first time Charles saw his one-year-old granddaughter, Lili. He also met his three-year-old grandson, Archie after a long time.
According to Nicholl, Charles deeply treasures the times with his grandchildren and he is “quite sad that there aren’t enough of them with Archie and Lilibet.”

“I do know that Charles absolutely wants to start healing that fractured relationship with Harry,” Nicholl said, adding that the private meeting was likely “very much the beginning” of his efforts to mend fences, and “paved the way for some more conciliatory talks.”
“He loves his son but he wants to forgive his son for everything. He wants to repair that relationship and move on,” Nicholl added. “A big part of that is him wanting to be a grandfather and see those grandchildren. It may mean a few more transatlantic trips, but he wants to enjoy this experience.”
