Prince Harry, Meghan Markle’s kids reunite with grandpa King Charles for first time in 4 years

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s kids have reunited with their grandfather King Charles for the first time in four years.

Buckingham Palace confirmed that Charles and Queen Camilla had hosted Harry, Markle and their two children — Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5 — at Highgrove House on Friday.

Photos of their reunion at the king’s private country residence in Gloucestershire, England, are not expected to be released.

The last time Charles, 77, reunited with his grandkids was in 2022 when they attended Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee.

The family’s return to England comes amid uncertainty over Markle and the kids making the trip across the pond amid security concerns.

In June, Page Six reported that the entire family — who live in Montecito, California — would be traveling across the pond to reunite with Charles.

However, by July, those plans were scrapped after they were denied taxpayer-funded security.

“Their plans to see family, friends and visit various charitable causes close to the duke’s heart have been pulled out from under their feet at the 11th hour,” a source told the Guardian at the time.

Per the insider, the Duke of Sussex, 41, was “looking at every option to try and get” Markle, 44, and their kids to England “safely and keep them safe when they’re on the ground.”

After deciding on the best course of action, Harry traveled to the UK on his own earlier this week to promote various charities.

He also kicked off the one-year countdown to the 2027 Invictus Games in Birmingham.

However, by Thursday, Page Six confirmed that the “Suits” alum and the little ones would actually make it across the pond.

Though they are not making any public appearances as a family, our insider told us they hope to visit Princess Diana’s burial site at Althorp Estate in Northamptonshire, England.

The “Spare” author lost security privileges in 2020 after he and his wife resigned from their royal duties.
