The monarch is said to want a quiet, personal meeting rather than any formal royal reunion
King Charles is said to be deeply emotional when it comes to Harry’s children, with a source claiming the King has been quietly hoping for the chance to spend time with them away from the spotlight.
Speaking to Closer, the insider said the King is not trying to draw the children into royal life or public duties. Instead, his wish is described as far more personal. He reportedly wants a low key, private meeting to get to know his youngest grandchildren before too much time passes.
According to the source, this desire comes from a sense that opportunities for connection are slipping away. The King is said to believe that even small, simple moments together could matter in the long run.
Harry’s ongoing legal fight with the Home Office over security has also been part of the wider picture, as he has argued that proper protection is necessary if the children are to visit the UK.
At the same time, Meghan Markle is believed to be hesitant about any return, with past experiences as a working royal still weighing heavily on her, regardless of the security situation.
Despite all this, the source insists the King is no longer focused on blame. He is said to feel that the situation does not have to remain frozen if everyone involved is willing to soften their stance.
The insider added that he understands how protective Harry and Meghan are and is not asking for public appearances or formal roles. His priority, they say, is simply for the children to know their grandfather and to build quiet, private memories together.
There is also a sense of urgency. The King reportedly feels that Harry may one day regret it if too much time passes without rebuilding that bridge.
