Harry, Meghan Reunite 2 Children With King Charles After 4 Years

3 articles · Updated · The New York Times · Jul 10

Summary

  • Buckingham Palace said Prince Harry, Meghan and their two children met King Charles III and Queen Camilla on Friday, the first in-person meeting in years between Charles and grandchildren Archie, 7, and Lilibet, 5.
  • The visit marked a rare family return to Britain for Harry, who had not come back with Meghan and the children since the Platinum Jubilee in June 2022 after the couple quit royal duties in 2020.
  • Harry, 41, arrived in Britain on Monday on a trip officially tied to his Invictus-style veterans charity event, but the reunion was also seen as a step toward easing his long-running rift with his father.
  • That effort has been complicated by disputes over lodging and security, with Harry still fighting British authorities over the loss of publicly funded protection after he and Meghan moved to California.
