Prince Harry<\/a> was seen entering King Charles III\u2019s<\/a> residence for a private tea in London on Wednesday, months after Harry claimed his father refused to speak to him. <\/p>\n

It was the first time Harry and 76-year-old Charles meet in 19 months.<\/p>\n

Harry, 40, is currently in the U.K. for the WellChild Awards<\/a>, a charity he patronizes that recognizes Britain\u2019s seriously ill children and their caregivers. His first stop on Monday was to visit his grandmother’s grave at Windsor to lay flowers at late Queen Elizabeth II’s final resting place.<\/p>\n

Speculation that the two would meet was rife even before he was spotted exiting a car at the royal residence, Clarence House, on Wednesday evening. <\/p>\n

The car that brought him was seen leaving less than an hour later. Harry was inside the Range Rover as it departed, according to Sky News<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The relationship between Harry and Charles has been strained since he and his wife, Meghan Markle<\/a>, quit front-line royal duties in 2020 <\/a>and moved to California to launch several media ventures and charitable work<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After he stepped down from his duties, Harry’s protection was downgraded from full-time protection while in the U.K. to it being considered on a case-by-case basis. He lost an appeal earlier this year in court to have the decision regarding his security overturned. <\/a><\/p>\n

Harry told the BBC in May that his father<\/a> would not speak to him \u201cbecause of this security stuff.\u201d <\/p>\n

Harry said that he was eager to reconcile with the Royal Family and “there’s no point in continuing to fight people.” <\/p>\n

The prince has made other trips to London over the past year and a half, in part due to his security appeal and a legal battle with Rupert Murdoch\u2019s<\/a> British newspaper group regarding intrusions into his privacy. <\/p>\n

But his wife and two children have remained at home in California. He could not envision bringing Meghan, Archie and Lilibet without guaranteed security, he had told the BBC. <\/p>\n

In that time relations with his brother and the heir to the throne, Prince William, do not appear to have improved. The pair have not met since February 2024.<\/p>\n

Prince William traveled to Cardiff on Wednesday<\/a> for a visit to new mental health hub inside Principality Stadium in honor of World Suicide Prevention Day. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prince Harry was seen entering King Charles III\u2019s residence for a private tea in London on Wednesday, months…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":147067,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[57],"tags":[236,88],"class_list":["post-147066","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/147066","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=147066"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/147066\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/147067"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=147066"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=147066"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=147066"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
