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).
