For the first time in four years, King Charles III has met his grandchildren Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, reports the BBC.

Buckingham Palace confirmed on Friday evening that King Charles and Queen Camilla received Prince Harry, his wife Meghan and their children Archie and Lilibet at the king's private home Highgrove during the day.

The court described the meeting as a private family gathering.

The last time Harry and Meghan visited the UK was during Queen Elizabeth II's funeral in 2022.

The meeting is an important step forward in family relations, which have been tense since Harry and his wife Meghan left the UK and their royal duties in 2020, writes the BBC.

While Prince Harry and his family are at Highgrove, his brother, Prince William, played a charity polo match in Windsor.
