King Charles and Queen Camilla have hosted Prince Harry and his family in a private meeting at the royal couple’s country retreat.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Buckingham Palace confirmed the meeting after weeks of speculation ahead of the Duke of Sussex’s highly-publicised trip to the UK.<\/p>\n

Prince Harry’s wife, Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, and two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, were also in attendance at the King and Queen’s private residence Highgrove House.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The duke travelled to the UK for charity engagements and to mark the one-year countdown to the Invictus Games in Birmingham in 2027.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the visit, it was unclear if he would meet his father and step-mother after an awkward stand-off over accommodation and security<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Since he is no longer a working royal, Prince Harry is not entitled to taxpayer-funded police protection. His request for it to be provided during this visit was rejected.<\/p>\n

The king initially offered the Sussexes accommodation at Buckingham Palace while they were in London, however the offer was later rescinded after they failed to accept within a set time frame.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It’s the first time in four years that the couple’s seven-year-old son and five-year-old daughter have visited the UK.<\/p>\n

While the US-based duke has returned home each year, this trip marks the first time that the duchess has travelled with him to the UK since Queen Elizabeth’s funeral. \u00a0<\/p>\n

It remains unclear where the family is staying during their visit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Buckingham Palace described the meeting as a “private family occasion” and British media is reporting that images of the encounter will not be released publicly.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Prince Harry has been vocal in his desire to reconcile with his family, however there are no plans to meet with his brother, the Prince of Wales, during this trip.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It’s been a dramatic week for the prince, who earlier this week lost a high-profile privacy <\/a>suit against the publisher of the British tabloid, the Daily Mail.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
