Prince Harry has expressed that bringing his wife and children back to the UK would be 'dangerous'.
A royal expert has suggested that King Charles may face an "incredibly sad situation" following Prince Harry's recent statement.
In an ITV documentary titled Tabloids on Trial, the Duke of Sussex warned last week that it would be "dangerous" to bring his wife and children back to the UK. He explained, "It's still dangerous. All it takes is one lone actor, one person who reads this stuff to act on what they have read. Whether it's a knife or acid, these are things that are of genuine concern for me.
"It's one of the reasons why I won’t bring my wife back to this country," he said during the interview, which aired on 25 July.
A royal expert, speaking to the Mail on Sunday, claimed this decision could result in King Charles becoming "more and more remote" from his grandchildren. The King last saw Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet, three, in June 2022, when the Duke and Duchess of Sussex travelled to the UK for the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
Joe Little, managing editor of Majesty magazine, remarked, "It would be great to think that at some point soon the King would get to visit the grandchildren that he has seen very little of, but he is 75 and still not in the best of health. A visit to America is unlikely to be a high priority now, given the other demands on his time. It's an incredibly sad situation that few would have predicted even five years ago."
In addition, Thomas Markle, Meghan's father, accused the royal couple earlier this month of “denying Archie and Lilibet the right to know George, Charlotte and Louis”. The 80-year-old expressed his sadness that Archie and Lilibet are being "denied" a royal lifestyle.
Ahead of his recent landmark birthday, the estranged father of Meghan shared his desire to meet his grandchildren. Speaking to New Zealand Woman's Weekly, he said, "It struck me as very sad that Meghan and Harry's kids are being denied the right to know their cousins, who look like fantastic children, or take part in things like Trooping the Colour, which is their birthright. They are getting to the age where they will start to ask questions, as all kids do. I find myself wondering how Archie and Lilibet will feel in a few years' time when they realise all the things they have missed out on."
Markle added that Archie and Lilibet have “two grandpas who want to see them”, and jested that he never thought he would find himself in the same position as the King.
