Overview

• Prince Harry and King Charles met privately for about 54–55 minutes at Clarence House on September 10, their first in‑person contact in roughly 19 months.
• Harry’s spokesperson called published characterizations of his view of the meeting “categorically false” and said attributed quotes were “fabrications,” while also confirming Archie has not been enrolled at Eton.
• Coverage of the encounter diverged, with some reports framing it as a thaw and others as a formal, tightly managed meeting.
• Reports citing the BBC say Harry blames palace courtiers—the “men in grey suits”—for undermining reconciliation efforts through hostile briefings.
• Separate reports say Prince William traveled to Balmoral on September 23 for informal private days with the King without their spouses, described as an unlisted father‑son stay.
