Everything we know about the 54-minute meeting between King Charles and Prince Harry.

It's been 19 months in the making, but Prince Harry and King Charles have finally reunited, face-to-face.

Harry was spotted at the King's London residence on Wednesday evening. It brings an end to days of 'Will they, won't they?' speculation, which has been rife since Harry entered the country on Monday.

Harry was driven through the gates of Clarence House in a black Range Rover at 5:20pm local time, just hours after the king was spotted boarding a flight back to London from Balmoral, his Scottish home.

By 6:14pm, he was heading back out, off to another engagement later that evening.

Just 54 minutes. That's how long they spent together for their first catch-up in over a year.

Oh, to be a fly on the wall for that cup of tea.

Buckingham Palace has since confirmed the pair spent time together, with palace officials describing the meeting as a 'private tea'.

As for exactly what was discussed between the pair, well, information is light at this stage.

But, if Harry's anything to go off, it sounds like it went well.

The duke was asked about his father at his engagement with the Invictus Games Foundation later in the evening, to which he replied, "Yes, he's great."

Here's everything we do know about the 54-minute tea and why exactly it was so critical.

Harry last saw his father in February 2024, when he made a quick dash from his home in California to the UK to see the king shortly after his father's cancer diagnosis.

The duke has returned to the UK several times since then for obligations such as charity events, his uncle's funeral and court cases, but he never made it as far as seeing his father.

Back in May, Harry said his father "won't speak" to him over ongoing issues about security for his family.

The duke told the BBC his request for greater security for himself and his family while in the UK had been a "sticking point" with the royal family. Harry took legal action to restore security, but a judge shut down his appeal in May, marking the end of the years-long court battle.

Despite his fraught relationship with the king, Harry said he wanted to overcome it as his father was undergoing cancer treatment.

"I can't see a world in which I would bring my wife and children back to the UK at this point," he told the BBC. "There have been so many disagreements between myself and some of my family.

"I would love reconciliation with my family. There's no point continuing to fight any more, life is precious."

The father-son relationship has been tense in recent years, heightened by comments made in interviews, his Netflix documentary and his autobiography, Spare.

The question hanging over Harry's UK trip this time was whether he would reunite with the king in person.

It's a moment many have been waiting for after senior aides to the king and Harry were pictured together in London in July, sparking speculation reconciliation could be in the works.

At the time, a source told the Mail on Sunday there was a "long road ahead, but a channel of communication is now open for the first time in years."

So naturally, all eyes were on Harry this time around.

He managed to squeeze the meeting into his schedule for the day before he headed back to California.

It's an olive branch. A gesture. A first step in improving the strained relationship between Harry and his father.

As for Harry's relationship with his brother? That's a different story.

There was no sign of a meeting between Harry and his brother Prince William, who was in Cardiff on Wednesday. The pair have reportedly hardly spoken since Harry and Meghan left the UK and moved to the US.
