Harry, Meghan and Children Visit King Charles at Highgrove After 4-Year Gap

3 articles · Updated · BBC.com · Jul 10

Summary

  • Buckingham Palace said King Charles and Queen Camilla hosted Prince Harry, Meghan, Archie and Lilibet at Highgrove on Friday in a private family meeting.
  • More than four years had passed since Charles last saw Archie, 7, and Lilibet, 5, in person, making the visit a notable thaw after years of strain following Harry and Meghan's 2020 royal exit.
  • Harry had been in Britain this week for Invictus Games events in Birmingham, while Meghan and the children were kept off the public schedule amid earlier confusion over their travel and security arrangements.
  • William did not join the gathering and was instead at a charity polo match in Windsor, with no plans for the brothers to meet during Harry and Meghan's UK stay.
