King Charles has a close relationship with his UK-based grandchildren, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, often seen spending time with them during family events. However, his connection with his U.S.-based grandchildren, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, has been reportedly non-existent. The physical distance between the families and ongoing tensions with his son, Prince Harry, seem to have created a divide.
Prince Harry has raised significant concerns over the safety of his family during visits to the UK. He has stated that he would not bring Meghan Markle and their children unless they receive adequate security protection while in Britain. This issue has been a major point of contention, particularly given Harry’s past experiences with paparazzi and media intrusion.
Despite asking King Charles for help with their security needs, it appears the monarch has not been able to meet Harry’s demands. The king’s inability to provide the level of protection that Harry feels is necessary has only worsened their strained relationship, further complicating family dynamics.
This ongoing situation highlights the deep rift between Prince Harry and the royal family, especially with King Charles. The lack of a solution regarding security has kept Harry and his family from visiting the UK, leaving their relationship with the king and the rest of the royal family in a state of tension.
