<\/p>\nHarry is due to return to his home in Montecito, near Santa Barbara in California, on Thursday after a four-day visit to the UK without his wife, Meghan, or their children, Archie and Lilibet.<\/p>\n
The rift between Harry and the other members of the family \u2013 including his brother, Prince William, as well as the King \u2013 has been a source of tension for several years after the younger son aired his grievances about royal life in television shows and a memoir, Spare.<\/p>\n
There was no sign of a meeting between Harry and William, who was in Cardiff visiting a mental health charity while his brother and father met.<\/p>\n
A few hours after the meeting at Clarence House, the King received another visitor: South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas, who is in the UK for a defence conference.<\/p>\n
Harry told the BBC in May that his request for greater security for himself and his family had been a \u201csticking point\u201d with the family. He took court action to seek to restore the security but lost the case.<\/p>\n
He said the King \u201cwon\u2019t speak to me because of this security stuff\u201d but added that he wanted to overcome this because his father was undergoing cancer treatment.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t see a world in which I would bring my wife and children back to the UK at this point,\u201d he told the BBC in the interview from the US.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere have been so many disagreements between myself and some of my family.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would love reconciliation with my family. There\u2019s no point continuing to fight any more, life is precious.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Duke of Sussex gave \u00a31.1 million ($2.25 million) on Tuesday to the Children in Need charity, which is backed by the BBC and helps vulnerable children and teenagers. He followed this on Wednesday with donations to medical operations that help children with blast injuries.<\/p>\n
Harry donated \u00a3370,000 ($756,000) to projects that seek to help injured children from Gaza and Ukraine, including through the World Health Organisation and Save The Children. The funds came from the Archewell Foundation he set up with Meghan.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo single organisation can solve this alone,\u201d the prince said in a statement.<\/p>\n
\u201cGaza now has the highest density of child amputees in the world and in history… It takes partnerships across government, science, medicine, humanitarian response and advocacy to ensure children survive and can recover after blast injuries.\u201d<\/p>\n
