There are concerns that Harry's actions could worsen the King's health, given the emotional strain caused by the rejection. A royal insider remarked that such a move from Harry was unexpected and could deeply impact King Charles emotionally. Furthermore, there is apprehension that if Harry denies the King's wish to see his grandchildren, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, it would be even more hurtful. Harry's belief that his family cannot feel safe in the UK without adequate security measures has added complexity to the situation.
Since 2020, Harry has been engaged in a legal dispute with the Home Office regarding the level of security protection he and his family receive while in the UK. Royal biographer Ingrid Seward expressed sadness over the potential consequences of Harry's security concerns, suggesting they could hinder any chance of a family reunion. Despite this, it's noted that Harry and Meghan have been invited to Balmoral this summer.
Seward also highlighted King Charles' wariness towards his son, indicating that his attempts to assist Harry often end up being perceived as snubs.
