Harry and King Charles Hold Private 55-Minute Meeting in London

The low-key encounter signaled a tentative thaw that remains uncertain given long-standing rifts.

Overview

  • Father and son met at Clarence House for roughly 55 minutes, after which Harry said the King was "great" and, according to reports, showed him photos and videos of Archie and Lilibet.
  • Multiple tabloid and insider accounts claim Prince William was not informed of the meeting and was upset, though these reports have not been independently verified.
  • Us Weekly–sourced reporting says the reunion was set in motion by a handwritten letter from Harry and that the private conversation was emotional, details that remain unconfirmed by the palace.
  • Soon after his UK visit, Harry traveled to Ukraine to meet war-wounded veterans, and in a Guardian interview conducted in Kyiv he defended his memoir as accountability and said his conscience is clear.
  • Media coverage casts the London meeting as a possible first step toward better relations, with no sign yet of a broader reconciliation or a thaw between Harry and William.
