When Prince Harry and Meghan Markle officially stepped back from their royal duties in 2020, it marked the beginning of a significant rift within the family. Shortly before the move, Meghan and Harry welcomed their son, Prince Archie, in May 2019. Their daughter, Princess Lilibet, was born in June 2021 after their move to California. The COVID-19 pandemic, coupled with Prince Harry’s battle to retain royal security in the United Kingdom despite his change in responsibilities, has strained his relationship with his father, King Charles.
In May 2025, Harry lost an appeal to maintain government-funded security for himself and his family during visits to the UK. But a new threat assessment may lead to a long-awaited reunion for King Charles and two of his grandchildren. King Charles Hasn’t Seen His Grandchildren Since 2022 Now, of course, King Charles sees William’s children regularly, but he hasn’t seen his other two grandchildren in years, according to The Sun.
The outlet reported that Harry’s desire to receive the additional security might finally come to fruition. The Royal and VIP Executive Committee reportedly “instructed its Risk Management Board to reassess his threat level for the first time in nearly six years.” In a statement obtained by People, officials declined to comment on Prince Harry’s security.
“The UK Government’s protective security system is rigorous and proportionate. It is our long-standing policy not to provide detailed information on those arrangements, as doing so could compromise their integrity and affect individuals’ security.”’ For the sake of Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, we hope the royal family can resolve their differences.
King Charles would surely love to know his grandchildren as they are part of him and his family’s legacy. Life’s too short for such grudges. This story’s featured imge is by Michael Loccisano/Getty Images.
