The whole Sussex family has just reunited with King Charles III for the first time in over four years.
This afternoon, Charles and his wife, Queen Camilla, welcomed Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan, as well as their two kids—Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5—at Highgrove House, their private residence in Gloucestershire, England.
Today marks Archie and Lilibet’s first visit to the United Kingdom since June 2022, when they traveled to London to take part in Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations. However, they did not make any public appearances at the time.
For this particular visit, the two young royals were also kept out of the spotlight, and according to reports from People, there will be no images released from the reunion, and no further details provided, either.

Earlier this week, Prince Harry was seen out and about in Birmingham to promote the next Invictus Games, which will be held within the English city in summer 2027. However, despite having just come from a vacation with his family, he was not joined by his wife or children.
After they stepped down from their senior positions as royals and moved their family to Montecito, California in 2020, Meghan and Harry were engaged in a five-year legal battle to secure state-backed police protections for their family on visits to the U.K., after they were stripped of these rights.
In May 2025, a decision was handed out stating that the family’s taxpayer-funded security would not be reinstated. In the wake of this verdict, Harry got candid about how it would affect his family’s ability to visit the country.
“I can’t see a world in which I would bring my wife and children back to the U.K. at this point,” he said at the time. According to reports, Harry and his family now only receive adequate security provisions if they’re specifically invited to visit by the royal family.
While we may not learn any more about the private visit, one thing we do know is that, according to Page Six, the family of four plans to visit Princess Diana’s burial site at the Althorp Estate in Northamptonshire, England later this week.
