Prince Harry appeared at Scotty’s Summer Festival at Maxstoke Castle in Warwickshire this morning, after being reunited with the King in a long-awaited meeting last night. 

The Duke of Sussex was seen leaving his uncle, Earl Spencer’s, Althorp house in Northamptonshire early on Saturday as he continued his UK tour. 

His appearance today comes after a much-anticipated reunion between Charles and Camilla and Meghan and the couple’s two children at Highgrove on Friday evening – the family’s first meeting since 2022. 

Prince Harry appeared at Scotty’s festival today in his role as global ambassador of Scotty’s Little Soldier, a charity which supports bereaved military children. 

Yesterday afternoon, the Duke appeared at an event in Birmingham for the countdown to the Invictus Games 2027, a charity that supports veterans globally and which Prince Harry founded in 2014. 

After the engagement, Harry, Meghan and their two children were secretly hosted by Charles and Camilla at the monarch’s private Gloucestershire residence. 

The location was a short drive between Oxfordshire, where Charles had been undertaking official engagements, and Birmingham, where Harry’s Invictus Games event was being held. 

Charles had not seen his youngest grandchildren, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, since 2022, when they were just three and one.

King Charles and Queen Camilla secretly hosted Harry, Meghan and their two children at Highgrove last night

He last saw Harry, 41, in September 2025, but earlier this week was forced to publicly slap him down after Harry’s PR team inaccurately briefed that he had accepted an invitation to stay at Buckingham Palace during his visit to the UK this week.

In fact, the palace said that after weeks of refusing his father’s invitation, he accepted too late.

Harry arrived in the UK on Monday. The following day he lost his High Court case alleging wrong-doing by Associated Newspapers, the publishers of the Daily Mail, and yesterday he started the year-long countdown to his Invictus Games.

Meghan and the children slipped into Britain unnoticed after leaving their holiday home in Europe.

Buckingham Palace refused to discuss any further details of what was described as a ‘private family occasion’.

The King and his senior officials had always hoped for a low-key, ‘peaceful’ family reconciliation, but weeks of leaks and briefings by Team Sussex had left them both ‘weary and wary’.

Both Charles and Camilla have been vilified by the prince in multiple interviews and documentaries, not to mention his memoir, and sources described the situation as ‘sad’ for the King who is 77 and still living with cancer.

No images of Friday’s meeting will be released. And, while the move will be welcomed as a thaw in family relations, palace courtiers will no doubt be carefully watching the Sussexes’ next move.

Meanwhile, although they were barely 100 miles apart on public engagements on Friday, Prince William and his estranged brother may as well have been on different sides of the Atlantic.

The heir to the throne was supported by his beaming wife, the Princess of Wales, as he led his team to victory in the DMMI Royal Charity Cup at the Guards Polo Club at Windsor.

Harry’s secret reunion: Meghan, Archie and Lilibet fly in to meet King and Queen: REBECCA ENGLISH

Sporting an eye-catching black-and-white gingham Alice Temperley dress, with £260 low-heeled nude Camilla Elphick sling-backs, Catherine, 44, cheered on her husband from the sidelines, then presented him with a trophy – and a kiss on each cheek for good measure – before they left, smiling, hand in hand.

The event was an opportunity to raise funds for ten charities supported by the couple, ranging from homelessness to mental health. In the 15 years William has taken part in the event, he has helped to raise more than £15million for good causes.

By contrast, Prince Harry was riding solo at an event in Birmingham to mark the one-year countdown to his 2027 Invictus Games in which injured service veterans compete and which returns to the UK next July.

Barely days beforehand, his spokesperson had announced that Meghan would be joining him as part of a week of public engagements.

Even after Harry, 41, began prevaricating about the trip over apparent fears for his family’s security, his team were stressing to friendly media that Meghan still planned to attend.

But on Thursday night, his spokesperson announced the Duchess of Sussex had pulled out.

They said she still planned to travel to England with their children, but would no longer take part in public events.

However, it was strongly hinted that she would be present for ‘private’ family moments, raising the prospect of a meeting with the King, as well as what has been described as a ‘family reunion’ with the Spencer family at Althorp, Princess Diana’s ancestral home.

Prince Harry records podcast with Joe Marler – as Meghan and the children meet Charles and Camilla

In Birmingham, one observer said that Harry had his ‘game face’ on.

He gave an ‘interview’ to This Morning’s Alison Hammond, which consisted mainly of her telling him how wonderful he was, as well as a speech in which he urged people to learn from the ‘Invictus community’.

Harry also recorded an episode on The Celebrity Traitors star Joe Marler’s podcast as part of his trip to the UK. 

The Duke of Sussex recited his rarely-used full name in the new interview, before poking fun at Marler’s co-host.

In a teaser for the upcoming episode of ‘Joe Marler Will See You Now’, the royal is asked for his full name by the former rugby player.

‘Henry Charles Albert David, Duke of Sussex,’ Harry replied, to which podcast co-host Jake Bhardwaj quipped: ‘It’s a long one’.

Harry quickly responded: ‘Alright, Jake,’ causing huge laughter from the podcast hosts and crew members behind the camera.

The teaser then showed the podcast hosts chanting ‘Duke, Duke, Duke, Duke, Duke, Duke, Duke’ as he arrived on the set before Marler says, ‘what the f*** was that’.

Marler and Bhardwaj will speak to the prince about trauma, coping mechanisms, identity and grief, as well as lighter topics.
