King Charles meets Prince Harry, Meghan, children first time in 4 yrs

King Charles III and Queen Camilla met with Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and their two young children for the first time in four years, according to British media reports. The reunion took place at Highgrove, the King's private estate in Gloucestershire, southwestern England.

Harry and his family traveled from an unspecified location in Europe for the meeting. Prince Harry arrived in the UK earlier in the week for a visit tied to the one-year countdown for the Invictus Games, an event he founded for wounded veterans. His children, Archie, aged seven, and Lilibet, aged five, had not seen their grandfather since 2022.

The meeting occurs amidst a period of strained relations between Harry and the royal family, intensified by his tell-all memoir "Spare" and ongoing legal battles with British tabloids. Harry recently lost a court case against the Daily Mail publisher over alleged unlawful information gathering, with further hearings scheduled that could result in substantial legal costs for him and other complainants.

Harry and Meghan have resided in California since 2020, having stepped back from front-line royal duties. Their departure in 2020, amid a reported feud with his family, has been a significant factor in the distance that has grown between them and the monarchy. Despite past difficulties, Harry has expressed a desire to reconcile with his father.
