Charles is not a permanent A1 visa holder who lives in the States and Harry doesn't live or travel with him, so he doesn't qualify for the last example.Charles is head of state, Harry is son of head of state, so immediate family.
“Diplomats and Officials Requiring A-1 Visas - Examples:
-Head of State or Government, regardless of the purpose of travel
-Ambassador, Public Minister, Career Diplomat or Consular Officer coming to serve at a foreign embassy or consulate in the United States, such as an ambassador or consul
- Certain government ministers in positions equivalent to U.S. cabinet level secretaries coming to the United States to perform official, government related duties for not more than 90 days
- European Union (EU) and African Union (AU) delegation representatives
- Immediate family members of an A-1 visa holder”
