According to Buckingham Palace, the king and Queen Camilla hosted Harry, Meghan and their children at Highgrove House, their private estate in Gloucestershire, west of London.
It was the first time King Charles had seen his grandchildren in more than four years. Harry and Meghan had not been in the U.K. together since 2022, when they attended the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II.
The Duke of Sussex arrived in London last week for a week of charity engagements, and there had been widespread media reports that Meghan and the couple's children might join him.
