What was discussed remains confidential. “He has told his father he won’t be giving any interviews about it and his team have been instructed not to brief journalists about what was said,” a royal insider explained.

The source suggested the meeting could be a turning point: “This is an important first step towards rebuilding their father-and-son relationship. There’s a long way to go before Harry can earn his family’s trust but he’s given some assurances.”

King’s Unexpected Journey to London

King Charles and Harry had last seen each other in February 2024, shortly after the Palace announced the King’s cancer treatment. On Wednesday, the monarch traveled from Aberdeen to London, raising eyebrows when the Royal Standard confirmed his presence at Buckingham Palace.

As Charles carried out routine duties at Clarence House, Harry was seen arriving at the building in the back of a Range Rover. Their private tea lasted just under an hour before Harry departed for another engagement linked to his Invictus Games foundation.

When asked about his father during the event, Harry simply replied: “Yes he’s great, thank you.”
