King Charles is reportedly super excited to spend time with his California-based grandchildren Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

According to a report by the OK! the close insiders have claimed that the monarch is “happy” by the prospect of spending time with Archie and Lilibet, whom he reportedly has not seen in several years.

King Charles last spent time with Archie and Lilibet when the royal children visited Britain with their parents Meghan Markle and Prince Harry back in 2022.

The king’s excitement has been revealed after claims Harry and his wife Meghan will visit the UK next month with their two children, their first family trip back to the country since 2022.

The couple left Britain in 2020 when in a shocking move Harry stepped back as a working royal and moved to North America with his family.

But he has said he would like to reconcile with his father, King Charles.

Harry, 41, had reportedly been planning to visit the UK this summer to mark the one-year countdown towards next year´s Invictus Games.

The games, launched by Harry in 2014 for wounded veterans from 25 nations, is due to be held in the central city of Birmingham from July 10 to 17, 2027.

Meghan and Harry last visited Britain with their children for the Platinum Jubilee celebrations for then Queen Elizabeth II in June 2022, just a few months before her death in September that year.

Prince Harry has insisted he would "always be part of the royal family" despite the public rift, including a falling out with his brother Prince William.

Harry is last believed to have briefly met with his 77-year-old father, who is being treated for an undisclosed cancer, at the king´s Clarence House residence in London in September 2025.
