According to reports, the monarch has only met Lilibet once and has spent very little time with Archie, who was born in the UK in 2019.
Harry, 41, is reported to have given the King a framed photo of Archie and Lilibet on his recent trip to the UK, where he made a number of charitable appearances. According to reports, Harry and Meghan Markle were not included in the framed photo. Grant Harrold, a former royal butler, stated three months prior to Christmas Day that the King will be excited to see his two youngest grandkids, even if it is only via video call.
Harry and Meghan currently reside in California with kids six-year-old Archie and four-year-old Lilibet.
“I’m willing to bet that there definitely will be some sort of [Zoom] communication on Christmas Day,” Mr. Harrold stated in an interview with Fabulous. No question exists.
“I’m not talking so much about Harry and Meghan directly, but I have no doubt the King will want to see his grandkids [Lilibet and Archie] on Christmas Day.”
Perhaps the King has already made arrangements for gifts to be sent to Archie and Lilibet in the United States, he remarked.
“The King will send gifts. I guarantee you that something will be sent, and likewise, gifts will be sent to Grandpa or Grandmother [from the Sussexes].
“There will be a chance to see each other. I’d be surprised if they didn’t FaceTime so they could see the grandchildren opening the gifts he sent them.”
Recently, Mr. Harrold informed Study Dog of Archie and Lilibet’s return date to the UK. He said, “The King famously went to Australia, so it is possible that coming to the UK could be part of that for Archie or Lilibet.” He was referring to the King’s gap year abroad.
