After his cancer diagnosis, King Charles can rely on the support of his family.
There is hardly any contact with his grandchildren Archie and Lilibet.
Sandringham – King Charles III is currently doing so.
(75) is going through a difficult time.
The monarch, who is suffering from cancer, must undergo a treatment that has not been specified by Buckingham Palace.
Between the individual treatments in London, Charles tries to recover from the strain at his estate in Sandringham.
Cancer-stricken King Charles: “No real relationship” with his grandchildren Archie and Lilibet
King Charles is of course supported by Queen Camilla (76), his siblings and his eldest son William (41), although at the same time he has to look after his wife Kate Middleton (42), who will be out for weeks after abdominal surgery.
Prince Harry (39) jumped on the next plane when he found out about Charles' cancer diagnosis, but after his quick visit he has long since returned to his adopted home of California.

Together with his wife Meghan Markle (42) and their children Archie (4) and Lilibet (2), Prince Harry lives in wealthy Montecito - more than 8,000 kilometers away from King Charles.
Accordingly, five-time grandfather Charles' grandchildren are also strangers in the USA, as royal author Robert Jobson (59) explains in the new TV documentary "Prince Harry's Mission: Life, Family and the Invictus Games".
Unfortunately for the King, there is no real relationship between the King and his grandchildren because he did not have the opportunity to develop that relationship.

The distance is simply too great: King Charles cannot form a bond with Prince Harry's children
The lack of a bond is not due to King Charles' qualities as a grandpa, as Robert Jobson emphasizes in the documentary from the streaming provider
Hulu
.
"I know he spends a lot of time with William's children George and Louis when possible, and I'm sure he would spend just as much time with [Archie and Lilibet] if he could when Harry and Meghan are in England would live,”
The Mirror
quotes Jobson as saying.

But as we know this would not be the case, King Charles' hands were tied.
“So I don’t think there’s a special bond between them,” the royal expert clarifies.
Charles' relationship with Prince George (10), Princess Charlotte (8) and Prince Louis (5) is said to be much closer, with "positive energy" George, Charlotte and Louis help King Charles, who is suffering from cancer, through this difficult phase.
