LONDON \u2013\u00a0Prince William<\/a> crammed in a lot of activities last week. The royal visited a school, rode a funicular railway, played crazy golf, talked to fishermen about the threat of warming seas, won a charity polo match and topped it all off with a family visit to Wimbledon.<\/p>\n His busy schedule had one glaring omission: reuniting with his brother.<\/p>\n Prince Harry, who now lives in California, was only on British soil for a short while. In a surprise twist July 10, Buckingham Palace told the BBC that Meghan, Harry and their children had met their\u00a0grandfather King Charles and Queen Camilla after four years<\/a> apart.<\/p>\n No photos have been shared of the reunion, which took place at Highgrove, a private royal country residence in Gloucestershire, England. The meeting was widely interpreted as a step in the right direction for healing the fractured relationship between Harry and his father, who was diagnosed with cancer in 2024.<\/p>\n While the king, 77, made time to meet with his estranged younger son, there was no olive branch in sight for the brothers, who at one point last week were just 12 miles apart.<\/p>\n On July 7,\u00a0William visited the London Welsh School in West London, while, not so far away, Harry attended an event at Chatham House, the Royal Institute of International Affairs.<\/p>\n Despite overlapping in the same city they were raised in, Diana’s boys did not meet. The brothers, once close siblings who did almost everything together, have only seen each other a handful of times in the last few years \u2013 mostly for funerals, and huge national events like the king’s coronation.<\/p>\n
