According to Hello!, published on September 20, Prince Harry (41) managed not only to work but also to visit his family during his recent four-day stay in the UK. Specifically, he visited Kensington Palace, where he personally expressed his condolences to Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, on the death of his wife, Catherine, Duchess of Kent, who died on September 4 at the age of 92.
Although the Duke of Sussex was unable to attend the funeral on September 16, having already left the country, sources close to him noted that he was happy to meet with family, friends, and colleagues. According to insiders, Harry’s only regret was that he didn’t have time for a more extended stay—he had long-planned trips to Ukraine ahead of him, related to the Invictus Games foundation and a visit to the Superhumans clinic. Overall, according to sources, the visit to Britain was a huge success. Harry actively participated in public events: on September 8, he appeared at the WellChild Awards ceremony in London, where he warmly interacted with children and their families. The following day, he visited the Community Recording Studio in Nottingham, where he not only spoke with young activists but also made a spirited entrance into the music industry.
A special highlight was the meeting on September 10 at Clarence House, where Harry spent nearly an hour with King Charles III. This marked the first face-to-face conversation between father and son after almost a year and a half of estrangement. Experts viewed it as an essential step toward rebuilding trust and, perhaps, reconciliation with the family.
Despite cautious optimism, those close to the palace note that a full reunion remains a distant prospect. However, Harry himself emphasized in an interview with The Guardian during his visit to Kyiv: “The focus has to be on my father.” “My conscience is clear.” When asked whether he planned to bring his children to the UK, he answered affirmatively, noting that his recent visits had brought that moment closer.
After his European tour, the prince returned to Montecito, California, where his wife, Meghan Markle, and their children, six-year-old Archie and four-year-old Lilibet, were waiting for him. On September 20, the couple attended the One805LIVE! Charity concert together, held on the coast near Kevin Costner’s mansion. The event was dedicated to supporting the Santa Barbara County emergency services.
