King Charles, Prince William and Senior Royals Reportedly Open to Trump White House Visit, Leaving Harry and Meghan “Out in the Cold”
King Charles III, Queen Camilla, Prince William and Princess Catherine are reportedly considering a future visit to a Donald Trump-led White House, according to a new report from The Express. The outlet claims that preliminary conversations are taking place within royal and diplomatic circles about the value of strengthening UK–US relations under the incoming Trump administration.
The report adds a dramatic wrinkle: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are said to be excluded from any such discussions. This alleged distancing follows years of tension between the Sussexes and the rest of the Royal Family, as well as Harry’s public criticisms of members of the monarchy in interviews and his memoir.
The Express notes that senior courtiers believe a high-profile US visit involving the King and Prince of Wales could help reinforce Britain’s diplomatic presence in Washington. The potential optics of aligning with a Trump White House, however, remain controversial in both UK and US political spheres. Nonetheless, the royal household traditionally works closely with whichever government holds power in the United States.
Analysts suggest that if such a visit materialises, it could further cement the growing divide between the Sussexes and the core monarchy. With Harry and Meghan now fully based in California and pursuing independent media ventures, their formal involvement in diplomatic events appears increasingly unlikely.
For observers in both nations, the story highlights the evolving dynamics of the Royal Family and foreshadows how King Charles and Prince William may approach international relations during the next US administration. As always, palace officials have not commented on the report, leaving the speculation to swirl.
