Overview

• Prince Harry met King Charles at Clarence House for about 54–55 minutes, marking their first in-person meeting in 19 months.
• The reunion renewed discussion of possible family visits, but Harry previously told the BBC he cannot see bringing his wife and children to the UK after losing his appeal over police protection in May.
• Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond proposed that an invitation to stay at a royal residence could mitigate security concerns while expressing doubt that Meghan would want to return.
• A psychologist quoted in the coverage cautioned that re-entering royal settings could trigger Meghan’s past distress and said clear personal boundaries would be vital.
• Reports noted July meetings between senior palace and Sussex communications staff and suggested Harry may pursue private lobbying on security, with no change to policy confirmed.
