King Charles is believed to have only met Lilibet once, and is set for another festive period without seeing them as Meghan and Harry are expected to spend Christmas in California.

Royal expert Michael Cole while speaking to GB News dubbed Harry and Meghan’s decision to keep King Charles apart from Lilibet and Archie “appalling”.

He told the publication, “Christmas is supposed to be a time for families to come together.”

Michael Cole said, “Obviously, the Duke and the Duchess of Sussex didn’t get the memo because they will not be taking part.

“I must spare a word for King Charles. It must be very hurtful for him that he doesn’t see his grandchildren in California, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.”
