Overview

• Prince Harry and King Charles met privately for about 50–55 minutes at Clarence House on Sept. 10, their first face-to-face meeting in roughly 19 months.
• Palace sources reiterated the late Queen’s rule that there can be no “half‑in, half‑out” arrangement, and there are no plans for Harry to resume public royal duties.
• A spokesman for Harry said, “The duke has made it clear that the focus has to be on his dad,” adding there would be no further comment on family matters.
• Reports of “high‑level talks” toward a public show of unity were questioned by multiple outlets, with insiders criticizing “syrupy briefings” as harmful to rebuilding trust.
• Harry hopes to spend more time in the U.K. and has said he wants to bring his children, though his failed bid for police security remains a practical constraint.
