Prince Harry has tea with King Charles in first meeting in over a year

Britain’s Prince Harry joined his father, King Charles, for tea on Wednesday at his Clarence House home in London, the first time they have met in well over a year.

The two have been distant since Harry and his wife, Meghan, left royal life and moved to California in 2020 and then publicly aired grievances about his family.

Harry was driven through the gates of Charles’ London home following an earlier engagement at the Centre for Blast Injury Studies at Imperial College London.

The Duke of Sussex had arrived in the UK for Monday’s third anniversary of the death of Queen Elizabeth and for a series of visits to charities he supports.

The last time the two met was in February 2024, when the prince flew to London after receiving news that his father had been diagnosed with cancer. Harry spent about 45 minutes with Charles before the king flew to his Sandringham country estate to recuperate from his treatment.

Harry has also had little contact with his elder brother, Prince William, heir to the throne.
