The outlet reports that Charles has always been a somewhat distant figure in the lives of Kate and William's three children, but the royal is now determined to be a warm and frequent presence in the life of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's first child.
According to news.com.au, when it came to being a grandparent to Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, Charles felt "left out" of his grandchildren's lives and frequently complained that he "almost never" got to see a young Prince George.
As a result, the relationship has been viewed as cold by many royal onlookers, with the common perception being that Charles was the distant grandparent while Kate's parents were heavily involved with their grandchildren.
Charles didn't even attend Prince Georges first birthday party, which even the Queen made it too, instead, the Prince of Wales chose to visit a squirrel conservation project in Scotland.
Now, Charles is viewing Meghan and Harry's baby as a 'do-over'.
A friend told the publication: “At the time Prince George was born, Charles was less easy in the role of a grandfather.
“But now he welcomes each new arrival with a wider grin and even more open arms. He loves the happy chaos of it all.”
Of course, it helps that Charles and Meghan - who has a fraught relationship with her own father - share an extremely close bond.
A palace insider and friend of Charles told the publication: “He [Charles] was captivated by Meghan when he first met her. He thought she was extremely intelligent, hardworking and impressive. They have a genuinely warm relationship.
“When she first moved to London Meghan was very interested in the history of the family. Art was the medium through which they talked about it. They have a lot in common. He has a natural affection for her.”
