Overview

• Buckingham Palace confirmed a private tea between Harry and King Charles at Clarence House, the first face-to-face meeting in about 18 months.
• Multiple outlets reported the discussion lasted roughly 55 minutes and there was no official readout of what was discussed.
• Harry told The Guardian he wants to see his father more and said the coming year should focus on his father, while considering future UK visits with his children despite security hurdles.
• A recent court ruling upholding the withdrawal of state-funded police protection remains in place, which has led Harry to travel to the UK without Meghan and their children.
• During the trip Harry attended WellChild events, visited Queen Elizabeth II’s resting place, then made an unannounced visit to Kyiv to meet veterans, as Meghan later marked his 41st birthday with Instagram posts.
