"Prince Harry met King Charles at Clarence House on Wednesday, in their first face-to-face meeting for 19 months. The private tea in London, which lasted 54 minutes, comes after the Duke of Sussex publicly expressed hopes of a reconciliation with his family in an interview with the BBC in May. After the meeting at the royal residence, Buckingham Palace confirmed that Charles and Harry spent time together."
"He was driven through the gates on Wednesday afternoon after an earlier engagement at the Centre for Blast Injury Studies at Imperial College London. The 40-year-old arrived at Clarence House in a black Range Rover at 5.20pm and left at 6.14pm, before an engagement later on Wednesday evening. The king, who is still undergoing treatment for cancer, arrived in London from Balmoral, Aberdeenshire, on Wednesday, the penultimate day of his youngest son's four-day trip to the UK."
"He last saw his father in February 2024, when he travelled from his home in California to the UK to see the king after his cancer diagnosis. The pair's previous meeting was less than 24 hours after the announcement about the king's health, and was without Harry's wife, the Duchess of Sussex, and their two children. The relationship between the duke and his father has become fraught after comments made in an interview with Oprah Winfrey, his Netflix documentary and his autobiography Spare."
Prince Harry met King Charles for a private 54-minute tea at Clarence House, marking their first in-person meeting in 19 months. Harry had earlier expressed hopes for reconciliation in a BBC interview and attended an engagement at the Centre for Blast Injury Studies before arriving. The king, who is undergoing cancer treatment, had come from Balmoral during the penultimate day of Harry's four-day UK visit. Harry previously visited Windsor to lay a wreath on the third anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's death and attended the WellChild awards. The relationship remains strained following comments in an Oprah interview, a Netflix documentary and his autobiography Spare, and Harry remains estranged from Prince William.
