Overview

  • Harry arrived at Clarence House on Wednesday afternoon and left less than an hour later after a private tea with the King, which Buckingham Palace confirmed to Vanity Fair.
  • The reunion followed the King's return to London from Balmoral for official duties, with reports noting the meeting was fitted between an investiture, a Privy Council and another audience.
  • Prince William did not take part, and no meeting between the brothers was expected during Harry's short UK trip.
  • Both the palace and Harry's team offered little public comment, reflecting a focus on discretion after aide‑level contacts in July reopened a narrow channel.
  • Harry’s visit centered on charity work, including a £1.1 million personal donation to BBC Children in Need and reported Archewell grants totaling $500,000 for blast‑injury care and evacuations linked to Gaza and support for prosthetics research.
