King Charles causes excitement among fans with recently unearthed video of him playing with Prince Louis

Despite being the monarch of the United Kingdom, King Charles is just ‘Grandpa’ to his five young grandchildren.

Royal fans have seen a sweet side to King Charles as a video shows him spending time with six-year-old grandson, Prince Louis. In a video from June 2022, the then-Prince Charles was captured sitting alongside his family at the late Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee Concert.

Prince Louis, who is known for his cheeky antics, was sat just a few seats away from the now-King. The video shows Louis, then aged four, telling Prince William that he was eager to sit with his grandfather.

William, who is next in line to the throne, asking the King whether the youngster could come and sit with him.

Captions on the video show that the 42-year-old likely said to his father, “Grandpa, can Louis sit on your knee?”, to which the King agreed.

Taking to a post on X, which included a video of the sweet moment, one fan commented: “You can see the love on his face when Louis gets in his lap it’s very endearing to say the least.”

Another commented: “Shows how the children value their grandpa! So sweet [pink-hearts emoji].”

A third fan wrote: I am so happy for [King Charles] that he has this affectionate relationship with his grandkids.

“A relationship he never had with his own parents and rarely with his children. This must be healing for him and for the family.”

As well as being a grandfather to Louis, George and Charlotte, King Charles has two younger grandchildren – Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet, three.
