Prince Charles reads 'Harry Potter' to his grandkids and he does all the voices
Anyone who reads Harry Potter aloud to their younger relatives is an absolute hero. Turns out, Prince Charles is one such hero.
In a BBC One documentary marking Prince Charles' 70th birthday, the Duchess of Cornwall talked about how Charles spends time with his grandchildren George, Charlotte, and Louis.
"He will get down on his knees and crawl about with them for hours, you know making funny noises and laughing and my grandchildren adore him, absolutely adore him," she says.
"He reads Harry Potter and he can do all the different voices and I think children really appreciate that." Wonder if he can speak Parseltongue?
In the same documentary, Prince Harry spoke about his father's reaction to being asked to walk Meghan Markle down the aisle on their wedding day.
"I asked him to and I think he knew it was coming and he immediately said, ‘Yes, of course, I’ll do whatever Megan needs and I’m here to support you,'" said Harry.
"For him that's a fantastic opportunity to step up and be that support, and you know he’s our father so of course he’s gonna be there for us."
