Charles, 73, and Camilla, 74, were both said to be "absolutely thrilled" to see the whole family come over from across the pond for the momentous occasion. According to Town & Country, a royal source said: “It was a fantastic visit and of course the Prince was delighted to see his grandson and meet his granddaughter for the first time,” when questioned on the subject by reporters during a briefing about Clarence House’s annual financial review.
They continued: “It was wonderful to have them back in Britain, the Prince and the Duchess were absolutely thrilled to see them. “The Prince of course hasn’t seen his grandson Archie for a bit of time and so it was very, very, very special to have some time with him.
Charles, who reportedly left the Royal couple "feeling slighted" with his gesture to Kate Middleton, is said to have got "emotional" over meeting Lili. The source added: "He hadn’t met Lilibet, his granddaughter, and so to meet her for the first time was I think very emotional, a very wonderful thing.” OK! has approached Prince Charles' representatives for further comment.
