Last week, Prince Charles sent an almost identical thank you letter to fans who had congratulated him on the exciting news that he is about to become a grandfather again. Meghan is expected to give birth in March or April, making Charles a granddad for the fourth time after Prince George, Princess Charles and Prince Louis. The future King is also a step-grandfather to his wife Camilla's five grandchildren: Lola and Freddie Parker Bowles (children of Tom Parker Bowles), twins Gus and Louis Lopes, and Eliza Lopes (children of Laura Lopes).

Charles' strong bond with his grandchildren was recently touched upon in the BBC documentary, Prince, Son and Heir: Charles at 70. Camilla revealed: "My grandchildren adore him, absolutely adore him. He reads Harry Potter and he can do all the different voices and I think children really appreciate that." In the same documentary, Prince William described Charles as being a "brilliant" grandfather.
