King Charles Receives Harry, Meghan and Their Children on Private UK Visit

Overview

• The family was received at Highgrove on Friday in their first in-person meeting with the sovereign since 2022, according to multiple British outlets citing palace sources.
• Meghan and the couple’s two children travelled privately from Europe to join Prince Harry and made no public appearances during the discreet visit.
• The Sussexes have not had routine police protection from Scotland Yard since their 2020 move to California and a London court recently rejected Harry’s bid to have that protection reinstated.
• Early reports that Harry would stay at Buckingham Palace were later qualified by a palace denial and Buckingham Palace did not immediately comment to news agencies.
• Harry is in Britain for Invictus Games preparations and the visit follows his recent legal defeat against a tabloid, a sequence that could affect future arrangements for security, travel and any further family engagements.
