The royal tea is piping hot after King Charles hosted Prince Harry, Meghan Markle and their children at Highgrove House on Friday. It marks the first time Archie and Lilibet have seen their grandfather in four years. The private gathering comes after some pre-visit drama over plans and security.
Buckingham Palace confirmed the low-key reunion at the King's Gloucestershire residence, calling it a "private family occasion" with zero photos or extra details released. Harry had jetted in solo earlier in the week after talks about the stay hit snags, but the full family eventually joined for the catch-up.
The Sussexes relocated to California in 2020, and the kids' last UK visit was for the late Queen's Platinum Jubilee in 2022. Sources note this is also Harry's first face-to-face with Charles since September 2025.
No sibling summit happened though, with Harry skipping any meetup with Prince William. The whole thing stayed under wraps as the family reportedly holidayed in Europe beforehand.
