Harry had told the High Court that there was “no possibility” of keeping his children safe on UK soil following the security downgrade.

The Sun’s royal photographer Arthur Edwards said that Harry was stopping Charles from seeing Archie and Lilibet.

Speaking on The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show, Arthur said: “Listen, he’s not only denying the King seeing his grandchildren.

“He’s denying Archie and Lilibet from seeing their cousins George, Charlotte and Louis.

“They’re first cousins, and he doesn’t know them. I don’t think Harry makes the final decision on that.

“I suspect he’s probably in discussions with Meghan. I don’t think she’s ever going to come here again.

“If she does, I don’t know when that’s likely. Certainly, those children are grandchildren of the King.

Arthur added: “They’ve got royal titles now. One’s a prince, the other’s a princess.

“They should be more respectful. Certainly, Harry should bring them to see the King whenever he can.”

Harry has vowed to appeal after the Home Office refused to spend taxpayers’ money on his bodyguards post-Megxit.

A judge ruled there had not been any “unlawfulness” in the call to pull Harry’s security.

Retired High Court Judge Sir Peter Lane added the decision had been “justified”, and was not “irrational” – as it had been dubbed.

But the Duke of Sussex has vowed to appeal the judgement and claimed he is “not asking for preferential treatment”.

The Sussexes were stripped of their round-the-clock protection when they stepped back from royal duties in 2020.

Inside Prince Harry’s fury as UK security team was pulled after Megxit

PRINCE Harry went to officials with many concerns amid his battle to get security while in the UK.

Today’s findings have laid out some of them – including how Diana was treated, who’s taking responsibility for his family and how he believed threat levels were raised because of ‘racism’.

Harry asked who would be willing to put him and his family in a position of extreme vulnerability and risk – “a position that no one was willing to put my mother in 23 years ago – and yet today, with greater risk, as
mentioned above, with the additional layers of racism and extremism, someone is comfortable taking accountability for what could happen. I would like that person’s name who is willing to take accountability for this choice please …”.

The prince also asked if anyone had thought about “the consequences” of the decision to cut his security.

He said: “Prove to me that someone has actually thought about the consequences without being punitive, which is how most of the decisions have been made in the last couple of months.”

Harry outlined:  “The obvious difference aside from that is the fact that I was born into this and the threat will never decrease because of my status regarding the Family”.

Arthur said: “So far, he comes alone and he goes quickly. He’s no longer a member of the Royal Family.

“He’s made it his intention that he doesn’t want to be. I don’t know how long that’s going on for.

“I don’t know how much more he can badmouth the royals. After all, he’s not allowed in any of their conversations.

“He said in an interview with ABC in Whistler that he wasn’t going to reveal what’s wrong with his father.

“I thought, well, it’s the first time he’s been discreet about that.

“Maybe he’s changed his tune – maybe his father’s warned him ‘This will be the last time I speak to you’.

“If it’s that, I don’t know, but the conversation didn’t last long. Half an hour, twenty minutes.

“Then the King was off to Sandringham. Harry could have got on the helicopter with him and spent the weekend with the King.

“But he was keen to get back. Whatever it was, it seemed to be more important than spending time with his family here.”

Archie and Lilibet’s titles

HARRY and Meghan have reportedly changed Archie and Lilibet’s names as they move to “unify

The children had been known as Archie and Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor.

But the children have reportedly been known as Archie and Lilibet Sussex since the King’s coronation.

Archie and Lilibet will both go by the last name Sussex in a “proud moment” for the family which represents their “unification”, sources said.

Last year it was revealed Meghan and Harry intended to use prince and princess for both kids in formal settings as Charles was now King, calling it the kids’ “birthright”.

A spokesperson for the Sussexes said: “The children’s titles have been a birthright since their grandfather became monarch.

“This matter has been settled for some time in alignment with Buckingham Palace.”
