Prince Harry reunited with King Charles III in London — their first meeting since February 2024.
The Duke of Sussex, in the UK since Monday for several engagements, was spotted arriving at Clarence House on Wednesday in a black car, shortly after the King’s return from Scotland.
According to the BBC, Buckingham Palace confirmed that King Charles III shared a private tea with his son, the Duke of Sussex, during a visit to the royal residence that lasted about 50 minutes.
The meeting marks a significant moment after years of strained relations. Prince Harry stepped away from royal duties in 2020 and moved to California with his wife, Meghan Markle. He last saw his father in early 2024, when he returned to the UK following the King’s cancer diagnosis.
Since then, Harry admitted they were not on speaking terms, citing ongoing court cases in the UK and his public criticisms of the royal family in interviews and his memoir. Despite this, he has expressed hope for reconciliation, acknowledging that he “does not know how much longer” his father has.
During his current trip, Harry also visited the grave of his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II. Although he has travelled to the UK several times over the past year, he had not managed to meet his father until now—even when they were only a few miles apart.
Speculation about a possible reunion grew in July after King Charles’s press secretary was seen in London with Harry’s communications team. Now, after months of anticipation, the long-awaited father-and-son reunion has finally taken place.
