Prince Harry declared earlier this week that he would not be travelling to the UK with his wife and their two children due to security fears.

King Charles may never reunite with his two youngest grandchildren as Prince Harry refuses to bring his young family to the UK, sources claim.
Speaking on ITV’s latest documentary named ‘Tabloids on Trail’, Harry revealed that he would not be bringing his wife and their children to the UK over fears for their safety.
Royal experts have now expressed their fears that King Charles may never see Prince Archie, five, and three-year-old Princess Lilibet again in an “incredibly sad situation”.
The 75-year-old is said to have last seen Archie and Lilibet back in June 2022. Harry and Meghan travelled to the UK with their children for the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
Harry, 39, has since travelled to the UK without his wife and children several times – including visits for his legal battle with the Government over the loss of his taxpayer-funded security.

“So if the children can’t come here and the King can’t go there, you are looking at a situation where you’ve got a grandfather, who is undergoing cancer treatment, becoming more and more remote.”
Although without his wife and children, Harry could be set to make a return to the UK this summer.
Harry could join King Charles at Balmoral Castle in late August after the rest of the Firm has departed the Scottish estate, a source has claimed.
A source said: “…Mid-August has been pencilled in for the main arrivals while some members of the family could join a shooting event on August 12. The Sussexes will not be part of that meeting but Harry may join the King at a later date when the Queen and the rest of the Royal Family have left. However, it’s highly unlikely given the current tensions…”
