Harry lost the right to close protection after stepping back as a working royal.
He blames Charles’s staff in charge of allocating police protection resources.
He lost a High Court challenge against a ruling it was legal but is set to appeal.
A source close to the King told The Sunday Times the belief he controlled security matters was “mistaken”.
The source added: “His Majesty’s son is suing His Majesty’s government, and that is very tricky for the King.
“If they were to meet, there is a worry that son would lobby father because of the mistaken belief that the King has control over his security.
“For him not to have accepted the judgment of His Majesty’s government and courts is frustrating.”
Others said it would be “wholly inappropriate” for the King to wade into the legal battle, which has cost the taxpayer at least £500,000.
Harry has not seen his father since a brief meeting on February 6, days after Charles was diagnosed with cancer.
It comes as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were closely guarded by a standing army of 3,000 police and military officers while in Colombia.
Entire towns were shut down during their four-day trip while snipers and SAS-style commandos were drafted in for the couple’s visit to San Basilio de Palenque on Saturday.
