Prince Harry, Family Meet King Charles After Four Years
Prince Harry and his family met with King Charles III for the first time in four years during a visit to the UK. The meeting occurs amidst ongoing legal battles between the Duke of Sussex and British tabloids.
Why it matters
The event marks a potential, albeit fragile, thaw in the highly publicized rift between the British royal family and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
King Charles III and his wife Camilla on Friday met his son Prince Harry, his wife Meghan and their two children for the first time in four years, British media reported.
The Press Association news agency said Harry’s family had travelled from an unspecified destination in Europe for the meeting.
Harry arrived in the UK on Monday in a visit to mark the one-year countdown to next year’s Invictus Games for wounded veterans, which he founded.
Meghan, seven-year-old son Archie and daughter Lilibet, 5, were initially set to miss the trip — reportedly because they were refused police protection.
Buckingham Palace did not immediately respond to AFP’s request for comment.
Harry and Meghan have lived in California since 2020 and the children had not seen their grandfather since 2022.
