King Charles has been seen showing affection to his grandson Prince Louis, which contradicts claims made by Prince Harry. A sweet moment where King Charles kissed Prince Louis has gone viral after Harry claimed his father "never gives hugs". It happened in a new BBC documentary, where Charles was seen with his grandchildren and the Royal Family at a rehearsal ahead of his Coronation.
Prince Harry had previously accused his father of "never giving hugs" in his memoir, titled Spare. He wrote: "The older generation maintained a nearly zero-tolerance prohibition on all physical contact. No hugs, no kisses, no pats.
Now and then, maybe a light touching of cheeks - on special occasions. "No matter how much you might love someone, you could never cross that chasm between, say, monarch and child.

Barbara Locke, 80, from Sleaford, Lincs, who has been visiting Sandringham each Christmas Day for over 30 years to catch a glimpse of the Royal family, shared her thoughts on Sarah Ferguson, who was in attendance.
