I'm with Merlin After on this one. Uther does say those things and he does love his children, but based on Morgana and Arthurs' reactions to hearing those kind things he had treated them differently throughout their entire adolescence.

It's great that he was trying to be more open and show them how much he loved them, but they were in their twenties. It was a bit late for that, the damage was done.
