King Charles could take ‘discreet’ trip to US to see his grandchildren

King Charles is in talks to visit the US so he can spend rare face-to-face time with his grandchildren, a royal expert has said.

The monarch is said to be frustrated over his relationship with Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3, whom he only sees on occasional video calls from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s mansion in California.

He has only met Archie in person twice and Lilibet once as Harry is reluctant to visit the UK after losing access to taxpayer-funded police protection.

Harry is currently in a legal battle with the Home Office over the issue and said at a court hearing that his children can’t ‘feel at home’ in the UK and it’s ‘not possible to keep them safe’ there.

Tom Quinn, who has authored several books on the royal family, told The Mirror that Charles has ‘had discussions about an official visit to the United States at some time in the future’, which would be ‘discreet’ and ‘private’.
