The heir to the British throne, Prince Charles admitted that he misses his grandchildren very much, being on isolation because of the coronavirus, and wants to hug them, writes "New Time".
The Prince of Wales spoke about the complexities of the self-isolation regime in an interview with the British television channel Sky News, reports the Daily Mail. Despite the fact that he already had COVID-19, he is forced to comply with the regime. Together with his wife Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, the prince now lives on the Birkhall estate in Scotland.
He admitted that he really wants to hug all family members, especially his father, 98-year-old Prince Philip, as well as his grandchildren Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, Prince Harry's son - Archie. Princess Charlotte, princes Louis and Archie managed to celebrate their birthdays without a grandfather.
When asked about how he feels while away from his family, Prince Charles said: “I am very upset. Fortunately, you can talk to everyone on the phone. But this is not the same, is it? After all, I really want to hug my relatives. I fully understand the feelings, difficulties, grief and suffering of many people. "

Indeed, Prince Charles cannot see his father, the Duke of Edinburgh, who will turn 99 next week - the prince is 800 km from him and his mother, Queen Elizabeth (parents live in Windsor Castle). Prince William and his family live in Norfolk, and Prince Harry and his son Archie in Los Angeles.
“I haven’t seen my father for a long time,” he shared. “Next week he will turn 99, I have not seen grandchildren. Yes, we call each other on Facetime, which is very good, but ... ”
He also expressed the hope that all families will soon unite.
“I really hope,” he added, “I’m doing my best to find a way, help and inspire me to find ways to continue communication, but it’s important that it does no harm.”
