King Charles a ‘Sincere’ Father? Rare Archival Footage Debunks Popular Notion
King Charles III of Britain has always been held under the hammer for not looking after Prince Harry and Prince William enough. After calling it quits with their mother, the former Princess of Wales, Princess Diana, the then-Prince tied his knot with the Queen Consort Camilla. The same has always been largely frowned upon by various chunks of his subject, including his youngest, for the matter. The Duke has time and again laid bare his open thoughts about how he had a terribly neglected life owing to some glaring mistakes by King Charles as a father. However, there’s always a second side to the story.
A video from the Prince’s juvenile years has resurfaced on the internet. As reported by People Magazine, the news seems to be going against the common conception which sees King Charles miserably failing in his parenting skills. Ahead of the grand coronation due 10 days from now, the outlet announced that National Geographic would pay specific tribute to the monarch. It would be in the form of a never-seen-before compilation of rare videos that would share a sneak peek into his life as an heir to rising to power as the monarch.

He thus found those words to be very ‘sincere’. Nonetheless, the tragedy that struck the royal Princes at an early age did have its own effect on the child. The way things had turned out for the Princes “felt very sad” as the director claimed

King Charles has always loved Prince Harry and Prince William
The King’s love for his sons was a clear theme all throughout claims the director to the publication. “I was surprised,” affirmed the director as they witnessed the great footage of him in the year 1993-1994. For those unversed, that era used to be one of the finest moments of King Charles with his two growing sons, Prince Harry, and Prince William. Following the one footage, they also found several interviews which had not meant the public eye.
The video segment was made public only to a highly confidential lot that has spoken a lot about what the entire document would look like. The clip from Charles: In His Own Words, as directed by Tom Jennings, seems to be showing something quite contrary to a common belief. The director himself spoke to the outlet, describing the course of the entire research process. Thus, he was amazed to witness something out of the ordinary.
