King Charles has asked Sir Keir Starmer for daily updates on the riots currently gripping the streets of Britain, GB News understands.
Charles, 75, is thought to be engaging privately in the issues the protests have generated.
The monarch has a long record of engaging in issues regarding community cohesion and people of different faiths.
It comes as thousands of specialist police have been mobilised on Wednesday night amid fears of at least 100 far-right protests and 30 counter-protests around the UK.
The trouble began after the stabbing of three young girls in Southport last week.
Incorrect rumours followed online that the attacker was an asylum seeker who had arrived by boat.
However, UK police later confirmed that the 17-year-old suspect, Axel Muganwa Rudakubana, was born in Cardiff.
They also took the unusual step of naming him despite being under 18.
