King Charles is allegedly thrilled to know that Kate Middleton and Prince William are expecting their fourth child.

According to Star, King Charles was one of the first people to find out what the Prince and Princess of Wales are expecting. And he sees the arrival of his sixth grandson as the perfect opportunity to right his wrongs.

A source claimed that King Charles wasn’t a hands-on dad to Prince William and Prince Harry because he was a very busy man. But he wants to be closer to his grandchildren so he spends more time with them.

“Whatever Charles lacked as a father to William, and his brother Prince Harry, he’s making it up now to his grandchildren. He loves playing with George, Charlotte, and Louis and will tease them until they giggle,” the source said.

The source also claimed that Prince William and Middleton’s three kids also have a close relationship with their other grandparents, Michael and Carole Middleton.

In fact, one of the reasons why Prince William and Middleton decided to move to Adelaide this past summer was because they wanted to be closer to Michael and Carole.

“They visit the Middletons often, and Carole and Michael pop by to see their grandchildren all the time now. It’s really brought them closer together,” the source said.

Meanwhile, the source also claimed that Princess Charlotte has been hoping that her younger sibling would be a girl since she already has two brothers.

Prince Louis, on the other hand, is also excited to have a younger sibling because he will have someone to boss around playfully.

As for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, they are also allegedly aware that Middleton is pregnant. And the couple sent the Prince and Princess of Wales their well-wishes.

However, one should take the tabloid’s claims with a grain of salt. Prince William and Middleton are not expecting their fourth child. If they are, Kensington Palace would be the first one to share the news with royal fans.

But if Prince William and Middleton will be blessed with more kids, it’s guaranteed that the baby will also share a special bond with its siblings and grandparents.

King Charles, Carole, and Michael are all close to their grandkids so Prince William and Middleton’s future children will be no different.
