Prince Charles says his grandchildren are "exhausted" when he visits a group of young children

Prince Charles revealed that his grandchildren were "exhausted" during a visit to a group of young children.

Charles, who has three grandchildren and a fourth on the way, was photographed last week during intimate family moments rarely seen while he was playing with them.

He was seen swinging them by the arms in the garden and letting the youngest Prince of William and Kate, Prince Louis, take hold of his face.

The Prince sympathized with his 33-year-old mother, Amelia Kerr, when she rocked her baby when he visited the toddler and parent group of the Dorchester Community Church, based in his Model village of Poundbury, Dorset.

Ms. Kerr later stated that he had looked down on his four-week-old son Oliver Morris and said, "My grandchildren are exhausting me, I do not know how you're going to go about it. make."

The Duke of Cambridge has already stated that he wanted his father Charles to spend more time with his children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

Charles will soon be welcoming another member of his family while the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are expecting their first child next year.

During his visit to the church, Charles met 56-year-old mother and son puppeteers Sharon and 27-year-old Adam Pinder, who, along with other volunteers, performed Christian character for the local community with their Ministry of Puppets.

Adam lifted his puppet Bob for the prince while his mother was working with a sheep toy.

She later said, "He asked if we heard the voices, but my husband Andrew tends to do them.

"We find that children and adults tend to enjoy the shows and we have fun playing them."

Charles' visit marked the official opening of the Dorchester Community Church – the first church in Poundbury – that left a site in downtown Dorchester to settle in the model village.

The Prince spent time chatting with the moms of the very busy toddler group and had a surprise when he received a late card from the 70th birthday of Courtney Critchell, 25, and his son, Oliver Knight, one year old.

He asked the little boy "did you?" and when Charles opened it to reveal hand prints of some of the kids, he said, "Look at this, it's not so good."

Reverend Roger Frapnell, pastor of the church, said, "We are in larger, newer and brighter facilities, which means we can do much more in the community and for the community. what we are here in. We want to be a church that is 24/7. "

He said about the royal visit: "I think he's been pleasantly surprised by everything he's seen, when people have a picture of the church in their minds." 39, church, they probably do not necessarily expect a brand new building, all dancing, which is light, bright, accessible. "

Previously, Charles opened a nearby Seniors Development Center, Yarlington Melrose Court, which offers 63 self-contained, affordable and condominium apartments, and offers an alternative to a care home, allowing residents to stay independent longer. .

The prince visited the apartment at a Les Elford bed in the building and joked about the food served by asking, "You do not need to cook beans all the time?"

At 81, he replied: "It's a very good food."

Mr. Elford said about his housing after the visit: "It's perfect, absolutely great, you can not wish for a better place."
