King Charles, Harry and Meghan are back in the spotlight after reports that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex could return to the UK with Archie and Lilibet for Invictus Games events.
If that visit goes ahead, it may hand the King a deeply personal choice, with former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond warning that any move to avoid them could mean “it’s game over” for hopes of healing the family split.
It has been four years since Charles last saw his grandchildren in California. He also has not had the chance to spend time with them since Harry and Meghan brought the children to London for Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee in 2022.

Why the reported Sussex visit matters
Harry and Meghan are reportedly expected to travel to Britain for promotional events ahead of the 2027 Invictus Games in Birmingham. Archie, seven, and Lilibet, five, may also come with them.
That possibility has raised fresh questions about whether father and son will finally meet. However, Jennie Bond believes the stakes could hardly be higher.
Writing in The i newspaper, she said: “If King Charles finds some excuse to avoid them, it’s game over. The rift will surely be permanent.”
As a result, what might look like a routine visit could become a major turning point for the Royal Family.
