King Charles III hosted Prince Harry, Meghan, and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, at Highgrove House, a country estate west of London, in an effort to repair a family rift that has persisted since Prince Harry and his wife quit royal life and moved to America six years ago.

Background

The visit is a step toward mending fences between the royal family members, who have been at odds since Prince Harry and Meghan gave up their royal duties and moved to California to pursue lucrative media deals, free from the pressures of royal life in London.

Prince Harry has said he wants to reconcile with his 77-year-old father, who is being treated for an undisclosed form of cancer. The royal children, Archie, 7, and Lilibet, 5, are now old enough to remember meeting their grandfather.

The visit comes after Prince Harry lost his final lawsuit in his quest to tame the British tabloids. A judge ruled that he failed to prove his privacy invasion claims against the publisher of the Daily Mail.
