Grandpa love

King Charles is a doting grandfather and his love for his grandchildren is evident time and again. The monarch has 5 grandchildren – 3 children of Prince William and Kate and 2 of Prince Harry and Meghan.

While Prince George – the oldest grandchild – is mapped out for being the king, he isn’t who the King entrusts with taking his care. Reportedly, after Princess Charlotte was born in 2015, Charles made a very sweet wish for her.

According to Mirror, he was on a visit to his model town, Poundbury, in Dorset a few days after Charlotte's birth. And when well-wishers asked him about his new grandchild, he told them he was hoping for a girl. He said:

I am thrilled. I was hoping for a granddaughter – someone to look after me when I am very old.

So, Prince George may be destined to be the future King, Princess Charlotte is already entrusted to take care of the reigning monarch as he gets old.

What is Princess Charlotte doing right now?

The 7-year-old royal is currently enjoying her much-needed break from school for the half-term holidays and has been spending time with her parents. People confirms that the family of five may have headed off to their beloved country retreat – Anmer Hall in Norfolk – to spend their time off.
