Having grandchildren is one of the greatest pleasures we can appreciate about life. It is something that is also shared by many, including King Charles.

Unfortunately, family problems have kept King Charles from enjoying his grandchildren to the fullest. This includes Princess Lilibet, a grandchild that King Charles has only seen once in his lifetime.

Despite the fact that they may be living in different parts of the world, King Charles made sure that Princess Lilibet received a birthday gift recently. It happened as the Princess was celebrating her third birthday, and according to a royal expert, King Charles ensured that a special gift was there.

It happened in California, when Prince Harry and Meghan Markle hosted a large birthday party for their daughter. Close friends were invited to the celebration but the royal family was not there because of an ongoing family issue.

Even though King Charles was not on the guest list, he did mark the occasion by sending a gift along with the message. He is actually holding onto the gift until the family problems have come to an end.

According to the royal expert: “He gave Prince George a beautiful hand-made wooden swing with George’s name carved on it and plans to give something similar to Lilibet, but not this year. Not until the family feud dies down.”

It also seems as if Megan has set up boundaries so that only certain gifts are acceptable. Despite the noticeable issues with the family, there were celebrities in attendance, including Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry.

They didn’t want to have a gathering that would be overly ostentatious in the gift department but they did have a lot of celebrities in their California mansion. This included some of their neighbors, such as Oprah Winfrey and Ellen DeGeneres. Nobody in the royal family was invited.
