King Charles and Queen Camilla Host Prince Harry, Meghan and Children at Highgrove

Summary

King Charles III and Queen Camilla met with Prince Harry, Meghan and their two children at the royal residence in Gloucestershire, marking the first known gathering of the Sussex family with the monarch since 2022.

King Charles III and Queen Camilla welcomed Prince Harry, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, and their children, Archie (7) and Lilibet (5), to Highgrove House in Gloucestershire on Friday. The meeting is the first time the monarch and his consort have seen the Sussex family and their grandchildren since 2022, according to a royal source. Neither Buckingham Palace nor a Sussex spokesperson has commented on the gathering.

Harry, who has been in the United Kingdom for a series of charity events, attended an Invictus Games function in Birmingham earlier in the day. His itinerary also includes a Saturday appearance with Scotty's Little Soldiers, a charity supporting children of fallen service members.

The Sussexes, who relocated to California after stepping back from senior royal duties in 2020, have relied on privately funded security following a 2025 court decision that reduced their publicly funded protection. While Harry has made several return visits, Meghan and the children had not been publicly known to be in the country since the 2022 Platinum Jubilee. Details about where the Sussex family stayed or whether they met other royals during the trip were not disclosed.
