Grandfather Charles III kisses his grandchildren: the unpublished photos of the King that change his cold image in one fell swoop

Unpublished images of the documentary that the BBC has prepared about the King that is titled Charles III: the year of the coronation. A production that is analyzed to the millimeter and shot by shot by the British press according to summaries issued prior to the premiere, which is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. (local time) this Tuesday, December 26. The photograph that has attracted media attention shows the monarch, crouching, hugging his grandchildren. Carlos, in an absolutely natural attitude, leans towards the children of William and Kate Middleton and eats them with kisses. Like any grandfather. Without filters and super affectionate. This scene, which occupies the cover of the The Sun, projects us the image of a very loving man. A portrait far removed from the one Harry created in his memories when he spoke of the coldness of his father in his childhood memories.

The press doesn't give Harry one. Especially some media. This time, the center of the reproaches lies in the kisses that Carlos dedicates to his grandchildren. A very affectionate gesture that the King had during one of the general rehearsals for the Coronation that took place last May. There, in the middle of Westminster Abbey, the monarch approaches the children of the princes of Wales and kisses Charlotte, George and the youngest, Louis. Crouching over his little one, he hugs him and kisses him on the head. A detail that, beyond the closeness it shows us, has attracted a lot of attention from some newspapers.

Bishop Richard Jackson, who was present at the rehearsals, slid The Telegraph that seemed like a “very affectionate” and “very united” family. “All generations,” she went on to clarify. This version of the King, the most affectionate and loving towards his grandchildren, dismantles with a stroke the version of Harry, whom he portrayed in his book of memories. In the shadow (Spare) to a cold and distant man, little or not at all affectionate. She glossed it with that phrase “no hugs or kisses or caresses.” The Duke of Sussex reproached his father for having lived a childhood without hugs and without physical contact, as stated The Sun.
