Prince Harry and Meghan Markle paid a surprise visit to King Charles at Highgrove House today, accompanied by their children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. It is understood to be only the second time that King Charles has met his granddaughter, Lilibet.
Secret Meeting at Highgrove
The King and Queen hosted the Duke and Duchess of Sussex along with their children at the private residence in Gloucestershire. The meeting was kept under wraps until after it occurred, according to reports.
This visit marks a significant step in the ongoing reconciliation efforts within the royal family. The Sussexes have been based in the United States since stepping back from royal duties in 2020.
Rare Family Reunion
King Charles has rarely seen his grandchildren Archie and Lilibet due to the geographical distance and strained relations following the Sussexes' departure. The last known meeting between the King and Lilibet was shortly after her birth in 2021.
The visit comes amid reports of improved communication between the Sussexes and the royal family. Neither Buckingham Palace nor the Sussexes have issued an official statement regarding the meeting.
This is a developing story. More details are expected to emerge in the coming days.
