King Charles 'not content' over major issue with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet
King Charles is "not content" with a major issue regarding his relationships with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, it has been claimed.
King Charles is "not content" over the lack of a relationship he has with Prince Harry's children, and is committed to being present in their lives, an insider has claimed.
His youngest son Prince Harry, and his wife Meghan Markle relocated to Montecito, California, after stepping back as senior royals in 2020.
In recent years, relations between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex with the rest of the Royal Family have been fraught following Harry's explosive memoir Spare, his Netflix series with Meghan and claims made about The Firm in various interviews.
But sources close to the monarch say he is "keener than ever" to focus on his family and "make up for lost time" after reducing his engagements following his cancer diagnosis earlier this year, The Mirror reports.
An insider told the outlet the 75-year-old is "absolutely committed to being present in all of his grandchildren's lives.

"He values family above everything and whatever the course of his relationship with his son he would never be content with just seeing his grandchildren on the odd video call."
In her latest book, 'My Mother and I: The Inside Story of the King and Our Late Queen', royal author Ingrid Seward said: "Family has always been important to the King.
"He remembers his own somewhat fragmented childhood as his parents were always busy doing their duty. It is a great sadness to him he doesn't see more of Archie and Lilibet."
Seward said it is for this reason that he will "never break ties with Harry. He does not want a FaceTime relationship with his son's children.

"He wants to know them and be involved with their lives while they are still young enough to be able to learn from his wisdom. His cancer has made it all the more poignant to him as he knows that he won't be around forever."
The King was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year and continues to undergo cancer treatment weekly. At the end of April, he resumed public-facing duties and has been steadily increasing his workload.
Harry hurriedly returned to the UK after hearing news of the diagnosis and their pair met for less than an hour before he returned to the US.
Following their reunion, Harry told American news outlet ABC News: "I love my family. The fact that I was able to get on a plane and go and see him and spend any time with him, I'm grateful for that."
