Royal Family LIVE: Meghan Markle’s ‘furious vow’ as King opens talks to see grandchildren | Royal | News

King Charles is reportedly hopeful of meeting Prince Harry while he is in the UK, and the possibility of seeing Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet has also been discussed if travel arrangements can be made. The King has only met Archie a few times and the family is due to meet Queen Elizabeth II in 2022. He met Lilibet only once, when he returned for Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee.

But there have been reports of conversations between father and son in recent weeks, with one source describing the tone as “hopeful.” Mirror reports. Both sides are said to be determined to try to make a meeting between them work. Harry is said to be “frantically” trying to secure extra private security so his family can make the trip. Another source said: “The king will not miss the opportunity to spend time with his grandchildren and if there is a way to make this possible, he will do it.”

Prince Harry arrived in the UK without Meghan Markle or their children earlier this week after his family holidayed in Europe. Meghan, Archie and Lilibet were reportedly expected to join him on the visit, but plans changed after Harry’s request for taxpayer-funded security for his family was rejected and an offer of accommodation at Buckingham Palace was withdrawn at the last minute.

Meanwhile, new reports claim Meghan is “furious” and has “sworn she will never return to the UK to see the Royal Family” following what sources describe as a series of complications surrounding Harry’s visit. “That was too much of an insult,” Rob Shuter said on Naughty But Nice Substack. He added: “As far as he’s concerned, he’ll never see them again.”

“Every time he reaches out to his family, he believes they find another way to reject him. He’s done. He has no intention of putting himself or his children in that situation again.”
