King Charles<\/a> met with Prince Harry<\/a> for the first time since February 2024 on Wednesday<\/a>, a meeting that took place during the former working royal’s visit from California. The 40-year-old travelled to his home country earlier this week to conduct a host of charitable engagements in the UK.<\/p>\n

Harry did not make time to see his brother or sister-in-law during his UK trip, but did travel to Clarence House for a 54-minute meeting with the King. In a poll conducted by the Express<\/a>, which ran between 5.50pm on September 10 and 3.10pm on September 11, royal fans were asked it was the right decision for King Charles to meet his youngest son.<\/p>\n

In a blistering result, 5,990 [68 percent] of the 8,820 people who voted shared that it was the wrong decision.<\/p>\n

In contrast, 2,436 people [28 percent] shared that it was right that the King took time to see his son.<\/p>\n

Unsure of what they made of the meeting, 394 people [4 percent] voted that they ‘don’t know’ if it was the right or wrong decision.<\/p>\n

Taking to the comment section, one fan commented: “Harry is not to be trusted, he has proved that time and again. I hope Charles had someone in the room with them…”<\/p>\n

Another said: “As a father yes, but as the King of the UK NO.”<\/p>\n

Clearly having voted ‘yes’, another fan said that the meeting was right in terms of it being a father seeing his son.<\/p>\n

They wrote: “Only as his father. Harry cannot under any circumstances return to royal duties.”<\/p>\n

Agreeing with the above fan, another commented: “I vote NO as the question indicated King Charles. If the question indicated Charles I would have voted YES.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"King Charles met with Prince Harry for the first time since February 2024 on Wednesday, a meeting that…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":19884,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[156,11061,21034,111,139,69,3578,21033,3583,15857,3164],"class_list":["post-19883","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-king-charles-iii","tag-king-charles-latest","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-prince-harry","tag-prince-harry-king-charles","tag-prince-harry-latest","tag-prince-harry-uk","tag-royal-family"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19883","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19883"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19883\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19884"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19883"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19883"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19883"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
