Prince Harry has been faced with a dilemma, as many believe that if his children don’t meet King Charles now, they never will. The Duke of Sussex is coming to the UK this week, and is expected to arrive in London alone.
This is despite the fact that he originally planned to bring his wife Meghan Markle with him, along with his children, Prince Archie, seven, and Princess Lilibet, five. However, these plans changed after Harry found out he would not get armed police protection in the UK. While it is believed Archie and Lilibet, along with Meghan, could meet up with Harry at some point during his UK trip, this is not certain.
This means that it is not set in stone that the children will reunite with King Charles, whom they have not seen since 2022.
This is likely to be upsetting for the King, who has always wanted to have a relationship with his grandchildren who live across the pond in America.
While there could be another time for the monarch and his grandchildren to meet, it is believed that some think it is a “now or never” situation.
The Telegraph reports: “There is a sense, on both sides, that when it comes to the King and his grandchildren, it could be “now or never” – not because of the King’s health, or the Duke’s security, but logistics.”

The article continued: “Archie and Lilibet are on the same side of the Atlantic as Charles III; their father is due in Britain and is desperate, sources say, to have a family reunion. The palace has extended an invitation to a royal residence that is heavily protected. If not now, when?”
While the Palace did offer a royal residence for Harry to stay in, it is believed this now won’t happen.
That is because Harry, 41, accepted the offer too late, reportedly leaving the Palace too little time to make arrangements.
It is not known whether Harry will see the King at all on this upcoming UK visit.
