Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have had many concerns about possibly returning to the UK as a family, mainly because they have concerns for the safety of their children.

Meghan was initially said to have been open to traveling with Harry to the Invictus Games ceremony in May but made a U-turn because of fears for their children’s safety.

“It’s now got to the point where Meghan doesn’t want to come to the UK with the children. She just doesn’t feel safe. The situation is now about whether the family should attend with increased security or Harry should go it alone,” the source said at the time.

“He values family above everything”

That could change if Harry’s words are answered, as a royal insider now claims he has asked his father for help.

“Harry is frightened and feels the only person who can do anything about it is his father,” a royal insider told People. Another source close to the situation says, “Harry is determined to protect his own family at all costs.”

King Charles wants nothing more than to reunite with his grandchildren and is reportedly “heartbroken” over not seeing them.

A source told the Mirror, “The King is absolutely committed to being present in all of his grandchildren’s lives. He values family above everything and whatever the course of his relationship with his son, he would never be content with just seeing his grandchildren on the odd video call.”

At the same time, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been accused of many things regarding how they have treated the royal family members—and now, another shocking claim has been made.

Speaking with the Daily Beast, friends of King Charles have accused Harry of “emotional blackmail” by pretty much threatening his father that he’ll never again meet Archie and Lilibet.

Prince Harry accused of using his children to ’emotionally blackmail’ his father

The source argued that Harry wants to pressure Charles to use his influence to help the Sussexes get increased security when visiting the UK.

“Harry has lost his security case in court, and is now trying the emotional blackmail route to get what he wants instead, cynically using the threat of Archie and Lilibet never meeting their grandfather again as a tactic to coerce the king into overruling RAVEC.,” the source told the Daily Beast.

“The idea that the security forces are going to allow the Sussexes to be attacked by an acid-throwing or knife-wielding maniac on British soil is absurd, and Harry knows it. Using it as leverage, as a reason to withhold his kids from their grandfather, is beyond contempt,” the monarch’s friend added. “Charles is being treated for very serious cancer, so even if he could find the time, he cannot just fly to Los Angeles at the drop of a hat, like Harry can—and actually did earlier this year—in the other direction.”

When Harry left royal life, the Royal and VIP Executive Committee (RAVEC) stripped him of the right to automatic police protection in the UK. Moreover, the Duke’s offer to pay for any protection himself was rejected because the British police force couldn’t be hired.

For Archie and Lilibet, not getting to visit the UK hurts their relationship with their grandfather and their entire royal family tree. They have never met their cousins, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, and all that has to do with the feud between their parents and Prince William and Kate Middleton.

“It’s really sad to see”

GB News royal editor Svar Nanan-Sen said, “Archie and Lilibet have no relationship with George, Charlotte and Louis – and they’re cousins. So this this feud between Harry and William and Kate and Meghan is creating a rift down the entire family that is crossing generations.”

Royal expert Cameron Walker added, “George, Charlotte, and Louis are not going to have that with their two cousins, Prince Archie,and Princess Lilibet – it’s really sad to see, and it’s also not their fault.”

Meanwhile, an “old family friend of several generations of royals,” as described by the Daily Beast, said that Archie and Lilibet are “being denied a meaningful relationship” with King Charles.

“To deprive them of that experience, with all its importance and heritage, seems very misguided. Of course, he wants to see them, but if you force Charles to choose between his duty to the Crown and his personal feelings, he will choose the Crown every time—just as his mother did;” the insider told the Daily Beast.
