Overview

• Prince Harry met the King for roughly 54–55 minutes at Clarence House on Sept. 10, their first private meeting in 19 months.
• Officials reaffirmed there is no plan for the Duke of Sussex to resume public royal duties under a part-time arrangement.
• Harry is understood not to be seeking such a deal, and a spokesman said his focus is his father.
• Reports of “high‑level talks” about joint appearances remain unconfirmed, and palace insiders criticized optimistic Sussex briefings as unhelpful.
• Practical constraints persist after Harry’s failed UK security appeal in May, even as he signals hopes to visit Britain more and looks ahead to Invictus Games 2027 in Birmingham.
