Prince Harry, his wife Meghan, and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, visited King Charles and Queen Camilla at Buckingham Palace on Friday afternoon, marking their first family visit to the King in four years. The British Royal Family confirmed the news, as reported by the BBC.
The last time Prince Harry and his family visited King Charles together was at Queen Elizabeth's funeral in 2022. Since a public rift emerged between Prince Harry and the royal family, he has made only a few solo visits to Britain.
Prince Harry is currently in the UK to commemorate the one-year countdown to the Invictus Games, a sports event he founded in 2014 for wounded veterans. The family's attendance at the visit was initially uncertain, with reports of disagreements between Prince Harry and the royal household regarding security arrangements and accommodation.
This visit coincides with a legal development in Prince Harry's privacy lawsuit against the publisher of the Daily Mail, Associated Newspapers. The case, filed in October 2022, alleged that the publisher used unlawful methods to obtain information over several years. However, the case was dismissed on Tuesday, with the court ruling that the plaintiffs had not proven their claims of illegal information gathering.
