<p id=”par-1_43″>Days after <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/former-royal-staffer-says-prince-harry-couldnt-stay-buckingham-palace-every-single-need-has-to-be-catered-to.html/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Prince Harry</a> traveled to the U.K. for the one-year countdown to the Invictus Games Birmingham 2027, it was reported that he and <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/prince-harry-was-able-to-marry-meghan-markle-because-she-didnt-do-this-1-thing-in-her-past.html/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>his wife, Meghan Markle</a>, along with their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilbet, met with King Charles. </p>
<p id=”par-2_39″>Buckingham Palace sources confirmed that a private meeting took place at the monarch’s Highgrove House in Gloucestershire, England. Sources close to the Sussexes told <a href=”https://www.vanityfair.com/story/king-charles-queen-camilla-prince-harry-reunion” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Vanity Fair</a> that the catch-up meeting lasted about “an hour” and was “completely cloak-and-dagger, orchestrated by the king.”</p>
<p id=”par-3_54″>That source added, “[Meghan and Harry] are keeping the meeting top secret. They haven’t said anything to anyone. The agreement was made before they met the king that nothing would be shared — no photos, no details. It was a top-secret arrangement, and they pulled it off, and frankly, they are delighted about that.”</p>

<p id=”par-4_53″>Another person who was present during the reunion was <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/former-royal-employee-shares-family-celebrate-queen-camillas-non-milestone-birthday.html/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Queen Camilla</a>. At the time, she had been at her Ray Mill House estate but when she was alerted about the meeting, she reportedly “dropped everything” and left in a hurry to make sure she was at Highgrove House when the Sussexes arrived. </p>
<p id=”par-5_40″>It’s also believed that Camilla did not tell anyone else and is the only person the king told about the meeting, as he did not even notify Prince William and the Princess of Wales (<a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/dont-be-fooled-this-is-what-kate-middleton-was-really-like-in-school.html/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>formerly known as Kate Middleton</a>). </p>
<p id=”par-6_64″>The outlet noted, “Charles wanted Camilla to be there for moral support and because she has been a pillar of strength for him throughout all the drama with Harry, and she dropped everything. She told no one, not even her family. She just got in the car and headed over. They were all on a mission to keep the meeting as watertight as possible.”</p>

<p id=”par-7_56″>Queen Camilla was also present at another meeting between the king and Harry back in February 2024 when the duke flew to London unannounced to see his father after the monarch revealed that he was diagnosed with cancer. A courtier confirmed then that the prince did not ask for Palace approval before he flew in. </p>
<p id=”par-8_42″><a href=”https://radaronline.com/p/queen-camilla-mad-harry-using-king-charles-cancer-diagnosis-pr-stunt/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>RadarOnline</a> reported that the courtier said: “Her Majesty was furious Harry flew in from his ritzy California home without getting palace approval — and came with an attitude. I’m told Camilla was outraged. She’s taken a lot of bile from Harry for years.”</p>
<p id=”par-9_42″>The courtier insisted the queen could not take Harry “using her husband’s cancer as a ‘loving son’ PR move,” saying that Camilla has taken it all on the chin, but using her husband’s cancer as a PR stunt was the last straw.</p>
<p id=”par-10_74″>Harry’s trip back for the Invictus events was overshadowed by reports that the U.K. Home Office denied the Sussexes’ request for their family to receive taxpayer-funded police protection while in the country. And a court decision shortly after the prince arrived in England that he did not win his lawsuit against Associated Newspapers Limited for violating his privacy in order to obtain information. The judge concluded that the claims had not been proven. </p>
