As King Charles III approaches his 76th birthday on November 14, a heartfelt request has emerged from the monarch—one that is deeply personal and speaks to his desire to strengthen the bond with his beloved grandchildren, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
The children of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, have remained distant from the royal fold in recent years, but Charles is hopeful that his birthday wish might help bridge that gap.
According to a report from *Vanidades C*, Meghan Markle has reportedly set conditions for Archie and Lilibet to reunite with King Charles III.
This news comes amid ongoing speculation that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex may be planning to purchase a home in Portugal, a move that could make future trips to London more accessible for the family, especially in light of Meghan’s desire for greater personal autonomy and security.
While Meghan’s conditions may complicate the situation, experts argue that a sincere approach from both sides could lead to a positive and fruitful reunion, one where the children are able to form lasting memories with their grandfather in a supportive and secure environment.
As King Charles’ actual birthday approaches on November 14, many royal watchers are wondering whether this request will be granted. It’s worth noting that, traditionally, the British monarch’s official birthday is celebrated in June with the grand *Trooping the Colour* ceremony, a tradition that dates back to 1748. The official birthday is marked with pomp and circumstance, but the monarch’s true birthday is a more private affair. This dual birthday tradition provides the opportunity for both a public celebration and a quieter, personal moment with family—an occasion Charles hopes will include his grandchildren this year.
