A Royal Reunion: Prince Harry and King Charles Meet After 19 Months

In a much-anticipated moment, Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, and his father, King Charles III, came together in person for the first time in roughly 19 months during Harry’s recent visit to the UK. The meeting, described by Buckingham Palace as a “private tea,” took place at Clarence House in London on 10 September 2025.  

Context of Strain and Distance

The distance between them has not just been physical but deeply personal. Since Harry stepped back from his duties as a senior working royal in 2020 and moved with Meghan Markle to California, the Duke has openly discussed his frustrations with how he was treated, including scrutiny from the UK press, perceived lack of support, and long-standing tensions within the family.  

Another recent stressor was King Charles’s health: in February 2024, the Palace revealed that the King had been diagnosed with cancer. Harry traveled to the UK soon afterwards. Their February 2024 meeting was brief, and communication afterwards remained limited.  

The Reunion

On that September day, Harry arrived at Clarence House at about 5.20pm BST, spending just under an hour with his father before heading to other engagements. The meeting was undisclosed beforehand, and the two made no public statements afterwards beyond Harry’s comment when asked how the King was: “Yes, he’s great, thank you.”  

What stands out is the discretion: the meeting was private, without media presence inside, and there has been no detailed account of what was discussed.   According to sources, Harry promised to keep the contents and tone of the meeting out of public commentary — including a directive to his own team not to brief journalists about what was said.  

What It Might Mean

Though this is far from a public reconciliation, many observers see it as a positive step. Some take the privacy of the meeting as a signal that both father and son might prefer to rebuild trust quietly, without the pressure of media scrutiny.  

However, it’s clear this meeting does not signal a return to Harry’s previous role in the Royal Family. King Charles is said to have reasserted that Harry will not take on a “half-in, half-out” royal role — something often speculated about in the days leading up to and since their meeting.  

Their relationship with other family members, especially Prince William, remains strained, and many of the deeper issues that led to their estrangement — public criticism, concerns over security in the UK, disagreements over privacy and royal duties — have not been resolved in any visible way.  

Looking Ahead

What comes next remains uncertain. Will there be more meetings of this kind? Will there be an apology, or shared commitments, or just ongoing quiet efforts to repair the relationship? And crucially, how will Harry’s spokespersons, media outlets, and the Royal Household handle stories in the future. 

One thing is clear: with King Charles’s health and age frequently mentioned in recent reports, there appears to be urgency on Harry’s part to reconnect on a personal level.
