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. 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.

Prince Harry appeared at Scotty's Summer Festival at Maxstoke Castle in Warwickshire, where he acted as global ambassador for Scotty's Little Soldier, a charity supporting bereaved military children. Earlier on Friday, Harry attended an event in Birmingham to mark the one-year countdown to his Invictus Games 2027.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle moved to California in 2020 and now live in Montecito with their children, after initially setting up home in Canada following their departure from the UK. Meghan stepped back from being a senior working royal as they embarked on a new life in the US when Prince Archie was 10 months old.
Further confusion arose recently when Buckingham Palace denied that Harry would stay there, shortly after the Duke's team said he had accepted an offer to do so. The meeting at Highgrove House is seen as a step towards healing the public rift between Prince Harry and his family, which began after Harry stepped down from his role in the working monarchy.
