Prince Harry, Meghan and children visit King and Queen
The private reunion came after last-minute travel changes over security concerns, and it was the first time Charles had seen Archie and Lilibet since 2022.
Prince Harry, Meghan, Prince Archie, and Princess Lilibet met privately with King Charles and Queen Camilla at Highgrove on Friday. Town and Country confirmed the visit, though neither side released additional details.
This encounter marks the first time King Charles has seen Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet since their 2022 visit for the Platinum Jubilee. The meeting occurred despite prior speculation about whether The Sussex family would travel.
Plans for the visit changed at the last minute due to security concerns. Harry arrived in London alone Monday, and Meghan did not appear in Birmingham as originally scheduled before the family ultimately reunited at Highgrove.
Since stepping back as working royals in 2020, The Sussex family has not had guaranteed police protection. The Prince previously lost a court battle to have his security arrangements reviewed while visiting.
Town and Country reporter Victoria Murphy, who has covered the British Royal Family since 2010, provided the primary verification for this encounter. The meeting remains the only official confirmation from either side.
Buckingham Palace has confirmed that Prince Harry, his wife Meghan and their children have visited King Charles III and Queen Camilla. This is the couple's first joint trip to the UK since the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II in 2022.
