Biden’s Hidden Grandchild, Navy Roberts, Desperate To Meet Her Grandparents

Navy Joan Roberts, the five-year-old granddaughter of President Joe Biden, has continued to face an uphill battle for recognition from her grandfather and his family, despite concerted efforts by her mother, Lunden Roberts.

The Telegraph reported that the story shines a light on the ongoing emotional pain that the Biden family is causing for Navy and her mother Lunden Roberts. The Biden family refuses to recognize Navy despite her being Hunter Biden's daughter and the granddaughter of the President of the United States.

Navy Joan Roberts, at just five years old, has already faced significant emotional challenges. During a recent visit to Washington D.C. in June, the young girl selected a headshot of Joe Biden from the White House gift shop.

Her mother, Lunden Roberts, described Navy's deep longing to connect with her grandfather. Despite these heartfelt desires, Navy’s presence has not been acknowledged by the Biden family for many years.

Lunden has expressed her frustrations, saying that Navy “wholeheartedly yearns” to meet Joe Biden. The president’s ongoing refusal to publicly recognize his granddaughter has sparked criticism.

A Complex History Between Parents

Lunden Roberts, now 33, met Hunter Biden in late 2016. What followed was a year-long relationship marked by intense personal struggles, including Hunter’s battle with crack cocaine addiction.

In her forthcoming memoir "Out of the Shadows," Lunden recounts several disturbing episodes, such as an incident where Hunter dropped a crack pipe on her chest and another when he nearly overdosed in her presence.

Hunter initially denied Navy’s paternity, only accepting it after a 2019 paternity test confirmed the truth. Consequently, the court mandated him to pay child support, which was adjusted last year to $5,000 per month from a previous $20,000 monthly payment.

Since September, Hunter has been in contact with his daughter through weekly Zoom calls. Despite this, Navy’s mother feels that the Biden family has excluded her daughter from key family events and public acknowledgments.

Both Joe Biden and his wife Jill have not included Navy in significant gatherings such as the inauguration or family events on Air Force One. This perceived exclusion has extended to significant security concerns.

Lunden has criticized the lack of Secret Service protection for Navy, voicing concerns for her daughter's safety. Her home is outfitted with multiple guns for security due to incidents during the last election.

Emotional Pleas and Public Criticism

Lunden Roberts has been vocal about the Biden family’s failure to recognize Navy. She questioned the president’s commitment to family values, highlighting the exclusion of his own bloodline.

In a moment marked by both pain and clarity, Lunden recalled encountering Joe Biden in Delaware. She described seeing the pain in his eyes as he witnessed his son’s battle with addiction. She views this as a poignant moment of realization.

Though critical, Lunden maintains a balanced perspective. She pointed out the inconsistency in Joe Biden’s public persona of inclusivity while neglecting his grandchild.

Lunden, who grew up in the Republican Bible Belt, has maintained a complex political stance. She voted for Joe Biden in the 2020 election but remains undecided about the upcoming election due to her daughter’s unacknowledgment.

She expressed disappointment in the lack of family inclusion, questioning why Joe Biden could embrace citizens nationally but not his own granddaughter. This sentiment echoes a broader critique of his familial priorities.

The memoir’s release next month promises further revelations about the tumultuous relationship between Lunden and Hunter, potentially impacting public perceptions and the Biden family's dynamic.

During their June trip to Washington D.C., Navy asked her mother if they could visit her grandfather. “We need to stop by and see my grandpa,” she said.

Sadly, Joe Biden was not in town, leaving the young girl’s wish unfulfilled. Lunden responded, “Oh, honey, he’s not here, he’s in Atlanta.” Navy remained hopeful, replying, “Maybe next time we come he’ll be in town.”

Navy, despite the circumstances, holds affection for her father, expressing her sentiments by saying, “I love my daddy.” However, her understanding of the president’s role is limited, noting, “He’s the president but I don’t know what he does, he just sits in the White House.”

The ongoing exclusion of Navy by her grandfather continues to draw attention. Lunden's forthcoming memoir and public statements underscore the emotional and complex layers within the Biden family.

Conclusion

Despite the turmoil, Lunden remains focused on her daughter’s well-being and future. She has emphasized the importance of family recognition and the emotional toll it takes on both herself and Navy.

The Roberts family's story is a testament to the broader challenges faced by families dealing with addiction, paternity disputes, and the quest for familial acknowledgment amidst public scrutiny.

As the next chapter of their story unfolds, the world watches closely, hoping for a resolution that embraces family unity and acknowledges all members, even those previously overlooked.
