Prince Harry and King Charles reunited for the first time in 19 months during a private meeting at Clarence House in London. Their brief encounter lasted under an hour, with no other royal family members present. Buckingham Palace kept details private, and Harry’s only public comment afterward was, “Yes, he’s great, thank you.”
Before meeting his father, Harry visited Windsor alone to honor Queen Elizabeth II on the third anniversary of her death. He laid a wreath in silence at St. George’s Chapel, a deeply personal visit to the site where he and Meghan were married in 2018. Meghan and their children remained in California during Harry’s solo trip.
Relations between Harry and the royal family have been strained, especially with Prince William, and security concerns continue to be a major issue. In May 2025, Harry lost a legal bid to reinstate publicly funded protection for his family while in the U.K., which he admitted was a devastating blow.
Despite tensions, Harry expressed hope for reconciliation, saying, “I would love reconciliation with my family. There’s no point continuing to fight anymore, life is precious.” While his meeting with King Charles was a small step forward, it remains uncertain if a full family reunion is possible.
