The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, accompanied by their children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, paid a private visit to King Charles and Queen Camilla at Highgrove House on Friday afternoon, July 10, 2026.
Buckingham Palace confirmed the meeting that evening, describing it as a “private family occasion.”
The visit marked the first time in more than four years that the King had seen his grandchildren, Archie, seven, and Lilibet, five, in person.
Prince Harry and Meghan had not been in the UK together since 2022, when they attended the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II.
Prince Harry has attended a number of events in the UK this week, but it was confirmed on Thursday that Meghan and the two children would not accompany him on any public engagements during the last two days of his visit.
It is not known where the family is staying while here.
The meeting is a significant development in family relations that have been strained since Prince Harry and Meghan's departure from the UK and royal duty in 2020.
Sources said father and son wanted to meet this week and the King was keen to make time to see his two young grandchildren.
The prince has travelled to the country alone since 2022, and met his father on a trip last September.
While Prince Harry and his family were at Highgrove, his brother, the Prince of Wales, was playing in a charity polo match in Windsor.
The brothers' relationship remains broken and there are no plans for them to meet while Harry and Meghan are in the UK.
