Despite his busy schedule, King Charles III of Great Britain finds time for his grandchildren, five of whom he has had in the last 11 years. According to members of the royal family, the ruler is not a strict grandfather but a loving and cheerful one who can easily play with them on his lap, laugh, and encourage fun.
Prince George, the firstborn of Prince William and Kate Middleton, was born on July 22, 2013. He was followed by Princess Charlotte (May 2, 2015) and Prince Louis (April 23, 2018). Now they live in the UK, so the king has plenty of opportunities to play with children. OBOZ.UA decided to show and tell you how Charles III treats his grandchildren.
11-year-old George and his brother and sister regularly appear with the king in public. He doesn't hold their hands too often, as William and Kate do, but the paparazzi can't help but notice how tenderly the grandfather looks at the kids.
Recently, British subjects were able to see how warm the relationship is between Charles and his 5-year-old grandson Louis when the King sat the child on his lap.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have two children: Archie (May 6, 2019) and Lilibeth (June 4, 2021). Although the ruler hardly sees them, he tries to show his love from afar.
For example, Charles III gave the title of prince and princess to his grandchildren, even though their parents abdicated their royal duties, moved to America, and hardly ever visit London.
"He can get down on his knees and crawl around with them for hours, making funny noises and laughing," Queen Consort Camilla said in the BBC documentary Prince, Son and Heir: Charles at 70.
Duke William called his father a "brilliant" grandfather, although he wanted to leave his children with him more often. "It's something I'm working on, let's just say. I think he has time for that," the prince said.
By the way, Charles often gives children touching little things and themed toys. He usually looks very happy at this time.
