King Charles has two sons, two step-children, five grandchildren, and five step-grandchildren.

"He’d always given an air of being not quite ready for parenthood—the responsibilities, the patience, the time. Even he, though a proud man, would’ve admitted as much. But single parenthood? Pa was never made for that," Prince Harry wrote in his memoir, Spare. "To be fair, he tried. Evenings, I’d shout downstairs: Going to bed, Pa! He’d always shout back cheerfully: I’ll be there shortly, darling boy! True to his word, minutes later he’d be sitting on the edge of my bed. He never forgot that I didn’t like the dark, so he’d gently tickle my face until I fell asleep. I have the fondest memories of his hands on my cheeks, my forehead, then waking to find him gone, magically, the door always considerately left open a crack."

That's Charles as a father—but what about him as an uncle?

Charles has three siblings (Princess Anne, Prince Andrew, and Prince Edward) and Camilla has a sister, Annabel Elliot, and a brother, Mark Shand, who tragically passed away in 2014. All of Charles and Camilla's siblings have children, making them aunt and uncle to 10 people, ranging in age from 15 to 47.
