Britain’s King Charles and Queen Camilla have met with Prince Harry, his wife Meghan and their two children at the Highgrove estate in western England, a palace source says.<\/p>\n
It was Charles’ first meeting with his grandchildren Archie, 7, and Lilibet, 5, since 2022.<\/p>\n
Harry has visited Britain just once or twice a year since he moved to the United States with Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, and their children, after a high-profile falling out with his father and his elder brother, Prince William.<\/p>\n
The palace source described the meeting as a private family occasion and said no pictures, video or further details would be released.<\/p>\n
Harry had appeared to be in a dispute with Buckingham Palace over security arrangements and where he would stay, before he arrived for five days of charity events and the judgment in a major privacy case he brought against British media.<\/p>\n
Charles, 77, is undergoing treatment for cancer and has rarely seen his two grandchildren since they were born.<\/p>\n
Harry said last year he wanted to reconcile with his family, as he did “not know how much longer my father has.”<\/p>\n
The Prince lost a privacy case this week that he had brought against the publisher of the Daily Mail newspaper – an action which he said his father had likened to “a suicide mission”.<\/p>\n
The 41-year-old has been estranged from most of his family since quitting as a working Royal six years ago and repeatedly criticising them in interviews and in his 2023 memoir, Spare.<\/p>\n
Friday’s meeting between father and son was the first time the two had seen each other in person since September last year.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Harry had said he wanted to bring his children for the earlier part of the trip but the family did not agree on a police protection deal with the government.<\/p>\n
Last year he lost a court battle over security arrangements, which he has blamed in part for the breakdown of his relationship with his father.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Britain’s King Charles and Queen Camilla have met with Prince Harry, his wife Meghan and their two children…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":521273,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-521272","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/521272","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=521272"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/521272\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/521273"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=521272"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=521272"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=521272"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
