Prince Harry, King Charles won’t reunite during Monarch’s U.S. state visit
Prince Harry and King Charles won't be meeting up when the monarch visits the United States in late April, PEOPLE understands.
The father and son will not see one another during the King’s upcoming state visit alongside Queen Camilla, with any suggestion they might carve out time together proving unrealistic given the tightly choreographed nature of the trip.
'When you’re talking about a state visit, every minute is accounted for — especially when it’s the King traveling as the invited guest of a head of state,' a source tells PEOPLE.
The source adds that Harry would not be expected to press for a meeting under those circumstances, noting that there is an understanding on both sides.
'Harry knows how things are and wouldn’t ask for that either under these circumstances,' the source says.
On March 31, Buckingham Palace confirmed that King Charles, 77, and Queen Camilla, 78, will pay a state visit to the U.S. in April to commemorate the 250th anniversary of American independence.
In a statement the same day, President Donald Trump shared that the King and Queen will visit from April 27 to 30, with the trip set to include a state banquet at the White House on April 28.
'I look forward to spending time with the King, whom I greatly respect,' Trump said.
Though they’re not expected to see one another, the visit will bring the British monarch to the country where his younger son resides.
Prince Harry, 41, and his wife, Meghan Markle, 44, have lived in Southern California for six years after stepping back from their royal roles in the U.K. in 2020. The couple now resides in Montecito with their children, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4.
