Overview

• Harry’s spokesperson issued a rare on‑the‑record statement on Sept. 27, telling People that reports he felt like an “official visitor” after seeing King Charles are “categorically false.”
• The statement says quotes attributed to Harry were invented and accuses unnamed sources of trying to undermine reconciliation efforts between father and son.
• It confirms a framed photograph was exchanged during the visit but clarifies it did not show the Duke and Duchess, with the subjects of the image not publicly identified.
• Harry met the King privately for about 55 minutes at Clarence House on Sept. 10, their first in‑person meeting since February 2024.
• No official account of the conversation has been released, though Harry later told a reporter the King was “doing great,” and broader family tensions and logistics remain unresolved.
