As anyone who has been through one knows, there’s not much like a health scare—whether it is your own or someone you love—to make one reevaluate one’s life and priorities. That seems to be happening with King Charles in the aftermath of his cancer diagnosis earlier this year, and The Mirror reports that the King has told friends that he’s not happy with only seeing his grandchildren Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet on video calls, and that he wants to be more present in their lives going forward.
For example, as Marie Claire reported on last week, when Lili turned three on June 4, the King reportedly sent along what The Mirror called a “heartfelt gift and card” as sources tell the outlet the King is “keener than ever” to focus on his family and “make up for lost time,” especially in regards to Archie and Lili.
