- Prince Harry and King Charles met at Clarence House on September 10 for the first time since February 2024.
- The meeting lasted under an hour and followed Charles’s return from Scotland.
- Harry has been in the UK for charity events and to mark Queen Elizabeth II’s death anniversary.
- No meeting with Prince William has been reported.
- Harry returns to the US on Thursday; Meghan and their children did not join him.
In a moment that royal watchers have long anticipated, Prince Harry and King Charles III reunited at Clarence House on Wednesday, marking their first face-to-face meeting since February 2024. The Duke of Sussex was seen arriving at the King’s London residence just over an hour after Charles returned from Scotland, fueling speculation of a private reconciliation.
The meeting, which reportedly lasted under an hour, comes amid a backdrop of strained relations and public appeals for healing. Harry has been in the UK since Monday for a series of charity engagements in London and Nottingham, including visits to blast injury research centers and youth initiatives. His trip coincided with the third anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s passing — a poignant moment for the royal family.
While Buckingham Palace confirmed the meeting took place, no further details were released. The reunion is significant, not only for its timing but for its symbolism: a quiet tea between father and son after years of public fallout, legal battles, and emotional distance.
Harry has previously expressed frustration over the lack of communication with his father, especially during periods of health concern. In a BBC interview earlier this year, he spoke candidly about his desire for reconciliation, saying, “Life is precious. I don’t know how much longer my father has.”
There has been no indication of a meeting with Prince William, who has been engaged in separate royal duties this week, including tributes to their late grandmother. The brothers remain publicly estranged, with no signs of a thaw during Harry’s current visit.
Harry is expected to return to the United States on Thursday, reuniting with Meghan and their children, who did not accompany him on this trip. Whether this brief encounter with his father signals the beginning of a deeper reconciliation remains to be seen — but for now, it’s a step forward.
