Overview
- Prince Harry and King Charles met privately for roughly 50–55 minutes at Clarence House on September 10, with Harry gifting a framed photograph confirmed by his spokesperson.
- The Sun reported the reunion felt “distinctly formal” and like an “official visit,” a characterization Harry’s office called “categorically false.”
- Harry’s spokesperson accused unnamed sources of trying to “sabotage” reconciliation, while palace figures told outlets they were “saddened and perplexed” and said aides had been working to mend relations.
- A source close to Harry told the Mail on Sunday that “the men in grey suits should stay out of it,” reflecting dueling briefings that have reignited tensions.
- Reports about possible future UK appearances for Harry were tempered by palace reminders that there will be no “half‑in, half‑out” role, with broader issues such as security arrangements still unresolved.
