As King Charles reportedly prepares to make a trip to the US, setting foot on American soil will “inevitably raise questions” about whether the King will see his son, Prince Harry, who lives in Montecito, California. It has been reported that the King’s visit to the US is likely to take place in April. 

Richard Kay, editor at large at the Daily Mail, writes: “Setting foot on American soil will inevitably raise questions about whether he will see his wayward son, Prince Harry and his children, whom he has met only once before. He last saw his grandchildren, Archie and Lilibet, during the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations in 2022.”A PR source told the outlet: “‘Extending an invitation to meet his father will almost certainly be a media event. But so too will any failure to invite him. It will be a story if Harry is there, and it will be a story if he isn’t. It’s quite a dilemma.”

Buckingham Palace confirmed that the King had a private tea with his son, the Duke of Sussex, during a visit to the royal residence that lasted about 50 minutes in September The visit to America by the King would be the first by a reigning British monarch since Queen Elizabeth II accepted an invitation from George W Bush in 2007.
