There are actually at least a couple of different bits of
knowledge that Prospero withholds from various members of the royal party at various
times in Act V. So I am not sure which one you are asking
about.
At the start of the act, for example, he has
concealed from all of them that he is actually Prospero, whom they know. Later on,
Prospero conceals from all of them (and especially the king) the fact that Ferdinand is
still alive and well.
But I think maybe what you are
thinking of is the fact that Prospero does not tell the king about what Sebastian and
Antonio have done. He does not tell the king that those two have been plotting against
him.
