Overview

• Father and son met privately at Clarence House in London for roughly 50 to 55 minutes over tea, their first in-person meeting in about 18 to 19 months.
• Harry was in the UK for the WellChild Awards and appeared relaxed at charity events afterward, telling guests of the King, "Yes, he’s great, thank you."
• Reports say Harry shared photos and videos of Archie and Lilibet with his father, who is said to have had limited in-person time with his grandchildren.
• Buckingham Palace and sources close to both men have kept details of the conversation confidential, reinforcing the tentative nature of any rapprochement.
• Multiple outlets report Prince William was not informed and opposed the meeting, while unresolved UK security arrangements and family tensions continue to complicate further progress.
