When his first grandchild, Prince George, was born in 2013, Charles was distant with him.

Charles was more sure of himself and more involved with Charlotte and Louis because he was used to his role.

Charles appears to treat George differently than his siblings and cousins due to his position in line to the throne.

According to James, Charles and George have a special relationship that will develop over time.
