King Charles III and Prince Harry met for 54 minutes at Clarence House on Sept. 10, 2025, a rare contact highlighting ongoing strain and caution. Reports describe the Clarence House meeting as formal, with palace aides managing messaging amid concerns about leaks. Royal editor Rebecca English says Charles accepted to avoid renewed grievances, while Harry’s team rejected those portrayals. Harry is due in the UK on Jan. 19, 2026, for a High Court case against Associated Newspapers; no meeting is expected as the King plans to stay in Scotland. UK authorities began reviewing his security status in Dec. 2025, and insiders suggest government-funded protection during visits is likely. Next steps may hinge on security decisions, legal outcomes, the 2027 Invictus invitation, and unresolved trust.
