How Prince Harry feels about his kids visiting the UK after King Charles reunion
Prince Harry is coming around to the idea of having his children visit the UK.
While speaking with the Guardian following his recent reunion with King Charles III, Harry — who lives in California with wife Meghan Markle, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4 — revealed that he “would” like to spend more time in his native England and bring his kids with him.
“This week has definitely brought that closer,” he admitted.
Last week, Harry traveled across the pond to visit his grandmother Queen Elizabeth II’s gravesite, attend events for his charities and meet with his cancer-stricken father for the first time in over a year and a half.
Us Weekly reported that the meetup came about after the prince “wrote [Charles] a handwritten letter … earlier this year expressing his desire to reconnect.”
Page Six was told that the father-son duo had “private tea” at Charles’ London home, Clarence House, on Wednesday for just shy of an hour, during which Harry showed his dad photos and videos of Archie and Lili.
Us Weekly added that there were “hugs and tears” during the meeting, noting that the overall “mood was genuine and positive.”
Harry, 41, told reporters immediately after the reunion that Charles, 76, is doing “great” following his February 2024 cancer announcement, which was the last time they had seen each other in person.
In May, the Duke of Sussex told BBC News that the king would not speak to him.
Harry, who stepped down from his royal duties and moved to the US in 2020, acknowledged at the time that “some members” of his family would “never forgive” him for “lots of things,” including “writing a book.”
The duke released his bombshell memoir, “Spare,” in January 2023.
In it, he accused Charles of making jokes that Harry’s “actual father was one of [Princess Diana’s] former lovers.” (He told the Guardian his “conscience is clear” despite the backlash.)
Their estrangement was made worse by a legal battle the prince was fighting over the removal of his publicly funded security.
After losing his appeal, he told BBC News during his May interview that he couldn’t “see a world in which [he] would be bringing [his] wife and children back to the UK at this point.”
He lamented, “I miss the UK. I miss parts of the UK, of course I do. I think that it’s really quite sad that I won’t be able to show my children my homeland.”
