The entire thing has been shared to Heat World and according to the insider, the fact was that the King was utterly, truly and totally “charmed” by Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, right off the bat.

Moreover, the source also says, “he wants to be able to spend more time with them going forward” and that’s not even the entirety of it because they also revealed, he’s “got his heart set” on George and Charlotte and Louis “having that opportunity as well.”

This plan seems to have also opened the door on something else which is a royal Christmas and the same insider also states, “he would love for Harry and Meghan to bring them over for Christmas and for them all to celebrate together as a happy family” even if the current state of tings makes it “highly unlikely.”

Regardless, “he’s holding out hope that something could change,” the source said when signing off.
