It is no secret that King Charles is an incredibly dedicated grandfather and spends as much time as possible with the youngest members of his family. There have been a number of times over the years that he has shared cute anecdotes about the royal children or could be overheard organising plans to come round and see them.
The King has five grandchildren: Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis from his eldest son, Prince William, and Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet from Prince Harry. He is also the step-grandfather of Queen Camilla's five grandchildren, Lola and Freddie Parker-Bowles and Eliza, Gus and Louis Lopes.
While the King is busier now than ever before, it is clear he loves nothing more than spoiling his grandchildren. Among many stories of sweet presents, one very generous £18,000 gift he bought Prince George proves he is a devoted grandfather.
The incredible gift was given to Prince George (2023 Max Mumby/Indigo)King Charles had an incredible gift installed at his Gloucestershire home, Highgrove House, for Prince George when he celebrated his first birthday. A Victorian-style ‘Shepherd’s hut’, was presented to the young royal from Dorset-based company Plankbridge and includes everything from a wood-burning stove to a day bed.
The hut can be spotted by visitors during a guided tour through The King's gardens and is thought to be a popular spot for Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis to play in. When they get tired of the playhouse, the Wales children can also play in the treehouse which was built for Prince William in 1989. The wooden house was installed for William's 7th birthday and was refurbished for King Charles' grandchildren to play in.

This isn't the only incredible tribute to Prince George that King Charles put in place. During an appearance on the One Show, the monarch answered questions on how we can all live more sustainably. The interview was filmed in Prince George’s Wood, which The King has called an 'old man’s obsession'.
He explained the sweet tribute to his grandson: “This was a rather empty field that the farm didn’t need anymore. The great thing was that I managed to plant it the same year that my grandson was born, the eldest, George, so I thought I’d call it Prince George’s Wood. It is really for autumn colour and a bit of spring. But autumn is the magic up here. So finding all the interesting trees and shrubs that turn an interesting colour is half the battle.”
King Charles previously spoke about his concerns for the world he will leave behind for his grandchildren during a 2018 tour of Ghana. He told the crowd: "It does seem to me insanity if we are going to bequeath this completely polluted, damaged and destroyed world to them." He continued, "All grandchildren deserve a better future."
