Overview

• Harry’s spokesperson called reports that he felt like an “official visitor” during the encounter “categorically false” and said attributed quotes were invented.
• Father and son met privately for roughly 55 minutes on Sept. 10 at Clarence House, their first in‑person contact since February 2024.
• Harry’s office confirmed a gift was exchanged and specified it was a framed photo that did not include the duke or duchess.
• The Sun had described the meeting as “very formal” and said Harry felt like a “visitor,” later defending its reporting and updating its article to include Harry’s statement.
• The meeting follows years of estrangement since the Sussexes stepped back in 2020, with reports of adviser‑level contacts in July as channels quietly reopened.
