King Charles has no relationship with his grandchildren amid the strain on his connection with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, a royal insider has claimed.

Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3, have not visited the UK since 2022, with the youngest of the two Sussex children having only met King Charles once.


Prince Harry has no immediate plans to bring his children or his wife back to the UK but visits the country of his birth several times a year.

Last week, US President Donald Trump declared he would not deport Prince Harry from America, despite an ongoing case surrounding his immigration records.

The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, is currently battling the Department of Homeland Security in Washington DC over Harry's visa records.

The lawsuit centres on Harry's admissions in his memoir 'Spare' about taking cocaine as a teenager and experimenting with cannabis and mushrooms.

Trump said on Friday regarding potentially deporting Prince Harry: "I don't want to do that, I'll leave him alone."

The US President took aim at Harry's wife Meghan Markle in his remarks, stating: "He's got enough problems with his wife. She's terrible."

Following Trump's vow not to deport Harry, a royal insider said King Charles prefers that his youngest son remains in the US due to their lack of a relationship.

The insider told the Mail: "The fact is that Harry and Meghan are a source of strain and worry for His Majesty.

"While he is sorry that he does not have a relationship with his grandchildren in America, it is easier for his peace of mind that there’s an ocean between him and Harry."

The US President has a good relationship with senior royals including King Charles and the Prince of Wales.
