Prince Harry met King Charles at Clarence House on Wednesday for a private tea, their first face-to-face meeting in 19 months. The 54-minute encounter comes after the Duke of Sussex expressed hope of reconciliation with his family in a BBC interview in May.
Harry arrived at Clarence House in a black Range Rover at 5.20pm and departed at 6.14pm, before attending an Invictus reception later that evening. Asked about his father's health, he replied: 'Yes, he's great, thank you.'
The King, who is undergoing cancer treatment, travelled from Balmoral to London for the meeting, which took place on the penultimate day of Harry's four-day UK visit. The duke had earlier laid a wreath at Windsor Castle for the third anniversary of the Queen's death and attended the WellChild awards.
Harry last saw his father in February 2024, shortly after the King's cancer diagnosis. Their relationship has been strained following Harry's comments in the Oprah Winfrey interview, his Netflix documentary, and his memoir Spare. The duke remains estranged from his brother, Prince William.
