Prince Harry is under fire for opting against bringing his children to see King Charles.
Royal expert Charles Rae joined Tom Harwood and Ellie Costello on GB News and spoke about the Duke’s decision not to bring his children who could have offered respite in a “desperate situation” for the King.
Harry flew in on Tuesday afternoon ready to be reunited with his father, despite the pair’s troubled relationship.
Royal watchers have expressed hopes that Harry and Charles will be reconciled in the wake of the King’s shock diagnosis, with suggestions the Duke could also makes attempts to try to heal his long-running rift with his brother, the Prince of Wales.

“I think it’s important that he would see his grandchildren”, said Rae.
“Grandchildren bring an awful lot of love into your life, especially at moments when you are in a desperate situation.

“If you have just been diagnosed with cancer, what better way to do it than to have your grandchildren there?”
Rae went on to discuss the prospect of Harry’s wife, Meghan Markle, reemerging on British shores.
“I’m one of the people who believes that Meghan will never set foot in this country again”, he said.
“It would have been nice for her to come along with Harry to say to the King, ‘I hope you get better soon’, with the kids.”
Charles, 75, who has postponed all his public duties, has already begun his medical care as an outpatient under the supervision of his specialist team of doctors.
Buckingham Palace confirmed the King, who only acceded to the throne 17 months ago, does not have prostate cancer, saying only that it was a “form of cancer”.
Charles was diagnosed after a “separate issue of concern was noted” and investigated while he was being treated for his benign prostate condition.
Harry’s black Range Rover was pictured arriving at a private terminal at Los Angeles International Airport before he boarded a flight due to land around midday, UK time, according to The Sun.
He last appeared alongside the Windsors at the King’s coronation, but hurried home immediately afterward to mark his son Prince Archie’s fourth birthday.
The Duke’s allegations against his family appeared unrelenting in the aftermath of Megxit with his Oprah interview, and, in the months following the Queen’s death, his Netflix documentary and memoir Spare.
