Overview
- During last week's four-day US state visit that included a White House meeting with President Donald Trump, King Charles did not meet Prince Harry.
- Harry was photographed at a Los Angeles lunch days after the trip, and the two have not seen each other since a private meeting in September 2025.
- Royal commentators say Charles and Prince William avoid outreach because they fear private talks could be made public.
- Experts note President Trump's public criticism of the Sussexes, which made any involvement in the state visit unrealistic.
- Unconfirmed tabloid reports say Harry seeks clear-the-air assurances before a possible UK visit linked to the Invictus Games in 2027.
