King Charles will wait until his Balmoral reunion with the royal family concludes before spending time with his American grandchildren.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have not been invited to the Balmoral event this summer, according to a well-placed Palace source quoted by a private news outlet.
The reason for not extending an invitation to the Sussexes is to allow the family a “quieter break” after a “difficult year.” However, the insider mentioned that once Queen Camilla and the rest of the royal family have departed, Charles plans to invite Prince Harry and Meghan along with their children, Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 5.
The King is eager to build a stronger relationship with his grandchildren while also considering the sentiments of his family, especially Prince William, towards the Sussexes.
“Charles genuinely wants to develop a better relationship with Archie and Lili and spend quality time with them,” the source told the outlet.
“So, it’s possible that the Sussexes might visit alone at the end of the summer just before the King returns to London, but given the current tensions, it’s highly unlikely.”
The insider added, “The most likely option is for the King to stay in touch with his grandchildren via Skype calls so that he remains updated on their lives.”
