The King travelled down to London from Scotland on Wednesday afternoon. Prince Harry, who has been based in the US since 2020, has been in the UK this week for charity events.
Prince Harry had spoken emotionally in a BBC interview in May about wanting to rebuild relationships, saying: “I would love a reconciliation with my family.”
The last time that they were together was soon after the King’s cancer diagnosis last year, with Prince Harry flying to the UK for a brief meeting.
There have been visits to the UK by the prince since then, including for court cases, but he had not seen his father, in what has seemed a sometimes difficult relationship.
After Prince Harry had been driven away to his next event, the Palace said it would not provide any further comment on the private meeting.
The prince arrived back in the UK on Monday and has carried out a series of charity events in London and Nottingham – against a background of questions about whether there would be a meeting with his father.
Prince Harry now lives in California with his wife Meghan and their children, who did not come on the trip.
