Prince Harry's security dispute has put a question mark over whether King Charles will see Archie and Lilibet when the Duke of Sussex returns to the UK next week, with Harry and Meghan Markle still weighing whether to bring their children across the Atlantic. The family had been expected to make the trip together for the first time in four years, but the rejection of Harry's request for police protection has left those plans wobbling badly.
The news came after Harry's team released details of his planned UK engagements for Tuesday 7 July to Saturday 11 July, only for the duke to be told that no taxpayer-funded police protection would be provided for the visit. That decision has pushed the family reunion into doubt, and it is now expected that Harry's team will confirm over the weekend whether Meghan, Archie and Lilibet will actually travel.
