Prince Harry, Meghan and children Archie and Lilibet visit King Charles and Queen Camilla
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex visited King Charles and Queen Camilla with their children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
Buckingham Palace confirmed on Friday evening that the King and Queen hosted the family at Highgrove House in the afternoon.
The palace described the meeting, held at the King’s private home in Gloucestershire, as a “private family event”.
The King is seeing his grandchildren, seven-year-old Archie and five-year-old Lilibet, in person for the first time in more than four years.
Prince Harry and Meghan, Queen Elizabeth II They have not been in the UK together since 2022, when they attended Elizabeth’s funeral.
Prince Harry has attended a number of events in the UK this week, but it was confirmed on Thursday that Meghan and her two children will not accompany him to any public events during the final two days of his visit.
It is unknown where the family stayed during their stay.
The meeting is a significant development in family relations, which have been strained since Prince Harry and Meghan left Britain and became royals in 2020.
Sources said father and son wanted to meet this week and the King was willing to make time to see his two young grandchildren.
The prince has been traveling to the country alone since 2022 and met his father on a trip last September.
While Prince Harry and his family were at Highgrove, his brother, the Prince of Wales, was playing in a charity polo match in Windsor.
The brothers’ relationship remains soured and there are no plans for Harry and Meghan to meet while they are in the UK.
Earlier on Friday, Prince Harry was in Birmingham for the next Invictus Games for wounded soldiers, an event he has been closely involved with for several years.
He was warmly applauded by the participants and fans of the games and tried his hand at pickleball and wheelchair rugby.
Initially, the prince’s visit to the UK was overshadowed by his court defeat against Associated Newspapers and confusion over whether Meghan and her children would come to the country.
