This was the first face-to-face meeting between father and son since February 2024, when Harry flew to London after learning his father had cancer. That meeting lasted for about 30 minutes.
According to a palace official who told The Telegraph, the King "enjoyed a private tea" with his son. The meeting lasted about 50 minutes. Harry left Clarence House, hopefully on better terms with his dad, for his final engagement in London.
In May, the Duke of Susssex was interviewed by the BBC, where he said: "I would love a reconciliation with my family." Two months later, aides from Harry and the King were photographed having drinks together at the Royal Over-seas League, a private club within walking distance of Clarence House. It was suggested that the two sides were having a "peace summit."
The Duke of Sussex arrived in England on Monday. He flew into Heathrow Airport and was driven to St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle, where he privately paid his respects by leaving a wreath at Queen Elizabeth II's final resting place.

During his three days in the United Kingdom, the Duke of Sussex, 40, carried out several engagements in London and Nottingham. He attended the WellChild Awards, donated £1.1 million to the BBC Children in Need charity, and visited the Centre for Blast Injury Studies at Imperial College.
Harry left Clarence House and was driven to the Gherkin in London, where he attended a reception for the Invictus Games. When asked about the king, he responded: "Yes, he’s great, thank you."
On Thursday, after attending a mental health panel discussion, the Duke of Susssex flew with a team from Invictus to meet with Ukraine veterans.
The Palace was tight-lipped about what was discussed. We do not even know if the King served Darjeeling or Earl Grey from Twinings, which has supplied tea to the Royal Family since 1837!
