King Charles often gushes over Prince William's chidren.

"When the King asked Prince Harry and his wife to vacate Frogmore Cottage, Harry said, 'Doesn't the King want to see his grandchildren?'" Michael Cole said on GB News.

Since Harry and Meghan Markle currently live in California, their youngsters are growing up outside of the royal fold.

"Well, the fact is he is not seeing his grandchildren," he continued. "He has hardly seen Prince Archie and I am not sure he has even since Princess Lilibet more than once. It is a very sad state of affairs."

"It was with great sadness for both of us that my wife and I felt forced to step back from this role and leave the country in 2020. The U.K. is my home," Harry said in his December 2023 court witness statement.

"The U.K. is central to the heritage of my children and a place I want them to feel at home as much as where they live at the moment in the U.S.," the famous redhead continued.

Due to his concerns, the Spare author refuses to bring his loved ones to the U.K. without sufficient security.

Harry's lawsuit against the Home Office received criticism from royal experts due to his decision to immigrate to the U.S.

"It's another ridiculous claim by him, because the one thing they always wanted was for Harry and Meghan to play a key role within the royal family," royal commentator Charles Rae said on GB News.

"It was their choice to leave and even the late Queen made it clear that she still wanted effective protection for the couple and their family while they were here," Rae explained. "But it was Harry that threw his toys out of the pram and decided he was going to go."

Insiders were quoted by The Mirror.
