King Charles has asked to be provided with daily updates on the protests planned around the UK, it has been claimed.

The monarch is said to be engaging privately in the issues generated by the violent disruption that has taken hold of the UK in recent days, Sky News understands.

One of the key issues King Charles, as the Prince of Wales, has dedicated his life to is community cohesion.

The Prince’s Trust, which helps young Britons get the skills and training they need to find jobs or start their own business, was set up around the time riots were raging around the country in the midst of an unemployment crisis.

Accused of meddling in politically charged issues, the King previously said, before acceding to the throne: “If it’s meddling to worry about the inner cities as I did 40 years ago, then if that’s meddling I’m proud of it.”

King Charles’s reported interest in the protests comes as some 6,000 specialist officers are braced to respond to any violence that may erupt tonight.

Police are aware of at least 100 far-right protests and 30 counter events planned across the UK.

Following a week of violence and destruction, traders in places including Brighton, Westcliff in Essex, Finchley in north London, Northampton and Walthamstow in east London have boarded up their shops to protect them from any ill-intended protester.

Among the targets of the riots that have exploded since last Tuesday have been hotels temporarily hosting asylum seekers as well as police vehicles.

Immigration lawyers and their firms are feared to be under the threat of a new wave of violence, but Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley warned  the force had planned to protect them, adding: “We will not let the immigration asylum system be intimidated.”

Violence first erupted on July 30, the day after three children were killed in Southport. The anti-immigration sentiment is believed to have been stoked by false information about the suspect that started circulating online in the hours after the harrowing stabbing.
