Overview

• Prince Harry and King Charles met privately at Clarence House for about 54–55 minutes in their first in-person meeting in 19 months.
• Sources say Harry assured his father he would not brief or give interviews about the conversation, and he publicly said only that the King was “great.”
• Harry’s four-day UK trip mixed charity and visibility, including attending WellChild and a reported £1.1 million donation to Children in Need, drawing praise for effective outreach.
• Immediately afterward, Harry made an unannounced visit to Kyiv tied to Invictus work, urging wounded servicemen to open up to family and saying he had checked with the UK government before traveling.
• Prince William did not attend the meeting and is said to be wary of a rapprochement, as some commentators also claim the King is currently more frustrated with William’s pace of engagements than with Harry.
