The big news about King Charles III and his grandson Louis has sparked a wave of happiness in England and throughout the United Kingdom. British media confirm that grandfather and grandson have built a very close bond, something that has been reflected in their latest public appearances.
Far from being a simple protocol gesture, this connection has moved citizens and royalty experts. The question everyone is now asking is: what happened for the relationship between Charles III and Louis to become one of the most talked about in the British royal family?

King Charles III and Prince Louis win over England with their close relationship
The relationship between the monarch and his youngest grandson is not a matter of chance. Since Louis was born in April 2018, the king has been very present in his life. Despite his state commitments, he has always found time to enjoy his most personal role: that of a grandfather.
The English press has now confirmed that Charles III and Louis keep such a strong bond that they have won over the British people. This special connection was once again evident during Trooping the Colour on June 14. There, the little one did not hide his excitement as he imitated his grandfather’s gestures while they waved from the balcony of Buckingham Palace.
According to a lip reader, the king had an especially tender conversation with the child. He wanted to make sure he did not miss the Royal Air Force flypast and told him: “Louis! Look! The fighter jets!” The gesture did not go unnoticed and was captured on camera as a symbol of closeness.

This bond was not born in June, but has been forged over years. In 2020, during the lockdown, a photo was released showing Charles III hugging Louis on his second birthday. That image became a symbol of tenderness in the midst of a difficult global context.
In 2022, on the occasion of Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee, the story repeated itself. During one of the events, the sovereign held Louis on his lap while they enjoyed the show. The little one, visibly happy, showed that the complicity between them was not a coincidence, but part of a relationship that kept growing naturally.
The distance with Archie and Lilibet makes the difference clear
Becoming a grandfather deeply transformed King Charles III. He not only wanted to leave a mark with symbolic gestures such as planting trees at Balmoral for his eldest grandson, George, but also to show closeness with the others.
Queen Camilla summed up this side in 2015: “He kneels and crawls with them for hours, you know, making funny noises and laughing and my grandchildren absolutely adore him. He reads them Harry Potter and can do all the different voices. The children value him as something very special.”
However, not everything is a reason for joy for the monarch. The distance with Archie and Lilibet, the children of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, remains a thorn in his personal life. The children live in California and contact with them has been minimal, which contrasts with the closeness he enjoys with Louis.

This situation marks an inevitable contrast: while England celebrates the king’s complicity with his youngest grandson, nostalgia persists for the lost bonds with the Duke of Sussex’s children. Many wonder if in the future there will be a rapprochement that will allow the sovereign to balance his role with all his grandchildren.
King Charles III and Prince Louis have shown that their special bond is now a source of pride for England and the royal family. Far from being an occasional gesture, this closeness shows the monarch’s most human side and strengthens the image of continuity in the royal family. The big question that remains is whether this shared happiness can also extend to his grandchildren who live far away, consolidating family unity on all fronts.
