Prince Harry breaks silence on long-awaited reunion with King Charles

Prince Harry has broken his silence on his long-awaited meeting with his estranged father, King Charles, after the duo finally spoke face-to-face for the first time in 20 months.

The Duke of Sussex, 40, was seen arriving by car at his father’s London residence, Clarence House, at around 5:20 p.m. local time Wednesday for “a private tea.” The meeting is said to have lasted 55 minutes.

Moments after the duo’s so-called peace talks, the “Spare” author offered up some rare insight into how his cancer-stricken father is doing.

“He’s great, thank you,” the duke told a royal watcher who had asked how the monarch, 76, is doing, less than an hour after the father-son meeting took place.

The Invictus Games founder was immediately whisked away to host an Invictus Horizons event at the Gherkin building in central London, where he met with supporters and community members.

Harry’s arrival was delayed after his black SUV was caught up in traffic due to the ongoing subway strikes in London.

Given that the duke quit royal life and moved across the pond in 2020, he is no longer afforded a blue-light police escort.

“I think this whole thing has been delayed slightly, so at this point you’re all hammered — which was part of the plan all along, stuck up here at the top of the Gherkin,” he quipped shortly after his arrival.

The king, for his part, flew from Balmoral in Scotland to London, where he hosted three private audiences — including one with his youngest son.

However, notably missing from the reunion was Prince William, who has not spoken to Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, for years.

It’s understood that Charles felt uncomfortable seeing Harry during his court case against the UK government to win back taxpayer-funded security for him and his family.

After the duke lost his appeal earlier this year, he told the BBC that his father “won’t speak to me because of this security stuff” — though he admitted he “would love to reconcile” with his family.

“Life is precious. I don’t know how much longer my father has,” he said of Charles, who was diagnosed with cancer last year.

Hopes for a royal reconciliation were kicked into high gear in July after Harry’s press team was seen meeting with the monarch’s communications secretary for a top-secret discussion in London.

It remains to be seen if the duke is welcomed back into the royal fold with open arms.

After touching down in London on Monday, the duke was immediately driven to St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle to pay tribute to his late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, on the third anniversary of her death.

There, Harry laid a wreath and flowers at the late monarch’s final resting place.

Later that day, the duke attended the annual WellChild Awards, before making an appearance in Nottingham the following day.
