Prince Harry reportedly did not have a lot to say about King Charles after their long-awaited reunion. On September 10, the estranged father and son met for the first time in 19 months. Over the summer, speculations began to swirl about reconciliation between Harry and Charles after their respective aides met in July in London. Following the reunion, a new report has now revealed how the Duke of Sussex kept his response brief after meeting the king.
Prince Harry reportedly kept his response brief when asked about King Charles
Prince Harry reportedly kept his response brief when asked about King Charles after the reunion on September 10. PEOPLE reported that after the meeting with his father, the Duke of Sussex stepped out to attend the Invictus Games in London. It is a multi-sport event for veterans, as well as serving injured or sick armed forces members. During the outing, a reporter asked Harry how his father, who has been battling cancer, was. The duke kept his response brief and said, “Yes, he’s great, thank you.”
Earlier in the day, Harry was photographed while arriving at the king’s London residence. He met Charles at Clarence House for a private tea. They reportedly had a 55-minute meeting. This marked the first time the father and son had met since February 2024. It is also a massive step in the efforts to repair their strained relationship.
Harry had been estranged from the British royal family after he and his wife, Meghan Markle, stepped down from their public role in 2020 and pursued a life in the United States. The relations further soured after the couple made a series of allegations against the royals, including in the duke’s book, “Spare.” However, Harry reportedly began making efforts to reconcile with his ailing father this year.
Although the long-awaited reunion between Prince Harry and King Charles has finally happened, the details have not been disclosed. Meanwhile, the duke also visited his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II’s grave, at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle. It is unclear at the time of writing whether Harry will also meet the other family members during the trip.
