Summary
Buckingham Palace confirmed Friday that Prince Harry, Meghan and their two children met privately with King Charles III and Queen Camilla at the king’s country house during Harry’s England visit.
The reunion came after nearly a year since Harry last saw his father and marked Charles’ first reported meeting with Archie, 7, and Lilibet, 5, in four years.
The visit followed days of public friction over Harry’s UK security and royal accommodation, disputes that had threatened to overshadow his five-day charity trip.
Tuesday already brought another setback for Harry when a High Court judge dismissed privacy claims by him and six other figures against Associated Newspapers, saying unlawful information-gathering was not proved.
The private meeting offers a tentative opening in a family feud that has persisted since Harry and Meghan left royal life in 2020 and deepened through interviews, memoirs and legal battles.
