Prince Harry reportedly relayed every aspect of his UK visit, including his face-to-face encounter with his ailing father, King Charles, to his wife Meghan Markle upon his return to the US.
During his brief 24-hour stay in the UK, the Duke of Sussex engaged in a less than an hour meeting with the 75-year-old monarch at Clarence House. This marked the first time Harry met his father since the King's Coronation in May 2023, following a strained relationship exacerbated by Harry's decision to step down as a working royal in 2020 and his subsequent airing of grievances against the Firm.
According to a source, "Harry shared every detail of his trip and meeting with his father with Meghan Markle upon returning to their Montecito mansion."
Harry's demeanor upon his return hinted positively about his meeting with the King, appearing relaxed and cheerful, suggesting a positive response and message for his family from his father.
While the primary purpose of Harry's trip was to visit his father, a source close to the Sussexes explained why Harry didn't endeavor to mend fences with his elder brother, Prince William, stating: "Meghan supported Harry's decision to meet with his father rather than engaging with William and Kate."
Despite the availability of numerous royal residences, the King's younger son opted to stay at a luxury hotel in London during his UK visit.
