King Charles has met Prince Harry’s children, Archie and Lilibet, at Highgrove House in Gloucestershire on Friday afternoon. According to The Guardian, this is the first time Charles has seen his grandchildren since 2022.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were hosted by King Charles and Queen Camilla at the king’s private residence. The last time Prince Harry's children saw their grandfather was during the late queen’s platinum jubilee celebrations in 2022. CBS News reported that Buckingham Palace confirmed it as a private family visit, with no details or photos shared.

The reunion follows a tumultuous week for Prince Harry, which included the dismissal of his legal claim against Associated Newspapers Ltd over unlawful information gathering and controversy surrounding security arrangements.
