Along with serving as monarch, King Charles has another very important title in life, and that’s grandpa<\/a>. Ahead of Prince Louis’s 7th birthday on April 23, his sweet bond with “Grandpa Wales<\/a>” has been revealed\u2014and true to form, cheeky Louis<\/a> isn’t impressed by his grandfather’s royal role<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Prince William and Princess Kate skipped Easter<\/a> with the Royal Family to spend time as a family<\/a> at their country house, Anmer Hall<\/a>, and according to sources, they were spotted attending church on the Sandringham estate with Kate’s parents, Carole and Michael Middleton. But even though Louis didn’t get to spend time with his other grandpa on Easter, they share a sweet bond.<\/p>\n

Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond told the Mirror <\/a>that Prince Louis looks at King Charles like any other grandparent. “He clearly loves his grandpa and is not at all in awe of the fact he happens to be the King,” Bond said.<\/p>\n

The royal expert continued, “I think Charles cherishes every moment he can spend with the children, and that\u2019s possibly one reason why he spends more time at Windsor nowadays”<\/p>\n

Louis and his siblings have been spending time in Norfolk over their school holiday<\/a>\u2014they return to classes on Thursday, April 24\u2014and it’s unclear if they’ll be celebrating the little prince’s birthday at Anmer Hall or back home in Windsor<\/a>. However, Bond noted, “I\u2019m sure Louis loves having his grandpa read to him and tell him stories, and he\u2019ll no doubt be thoroughly spoiled on his birthday.”<\/p>\n

The palace has released some touching photos of The King hugging Prince Louis, both for his second birthday in 2020<\/a> and as part of a set of portraits taken for the then-Prince Charles’s 70th birthday<\/a> in 2018.<\/p>\n

One time when the public got to see a rare glimpse at their bond was during Queen Elizabeth’s 2022 Platinum Jubilee<\/a>, when an antsy Prince Louis<\/a> sat on his grandpa’s lap at the Platinum Pageant. According to the Daily Mail<\/a>, lip reader Juliet Sullivan told the outlet that Prince William “leaned across Camilla to ask Charles: ‘Grandpa, can Louis sit on your knee?’ to which he replied, ‘of course.'”<\/p>\n

In the adorable photos from the event, The King pointed things out to Prince Louis, who was just four at the time, and chatted with the youngster\u2014a moment that was surely a welcome break from the long pageant for little Louis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission.
