King Charles is expected to leave the United States this week without seeing Prince Harry or his grandchildren in California, with one royal commentator claiming the monarch fears a reunion would upstage the real purpose of his historic state visit.
King Charles and Queen Camilla are in Washington DC on a four day trip marking 250 years since American independence, their first US visit since Harry and Meghan stepped back from royal duties and settled in California in 2020. Buckingham Palace has presented the visit as a diplomatic mission rather than a family reconciliation, saying the King will 'celebrate the historic connections and the modern bilateral relationship between the United Kingdom and the US' before travelling on to Bermuda.
