Prince Harry finally met with his father, King Charles, during his visit to the UK this week.

The Duke of Sussex, 40, returned to Britain on Monday, September 8, his first trip since losing a court battle earlier this year over his level of police protection while in the country. The main reason for his visit was to attend the WellChild Awards in London, but Harry also made time for several charity engagements.

For days, speculation had swirled over whether Harry and the King would actually meet amid their ongoing strained relationship. On Wednesday, it was confirmed — father and son did in fact reunite.

A Quiet Meeting at Clarence House

On September 10, Harry was seen arriving at Clarence House, the King’s London residence, at around 5:20pm. Buckingham Palace later confirmed that the two met “for a private tea.”

Harry reportedly spent 55 minutes inside. It marked the first time the pair had been together since February, when Harry flew back to see his father shortly after Charles revealed his cancer diagnosis.

After the meeting, Harry headed to the Swiss Re building — known as the Gherkin — to attend an Invictus Games reception. When asked by reporters how the King was doing, Harry replied: “Yes, he’s great, thank you.”
