Prince Harry and Meghan secretly paid a visit to Queen Elizabeth II as they were on their way to the Hague for the Invictus Games. Confirming the reunion, a spokesperson for the couple said on Thursday, April 14, "We can confirm that they visited the duke's grandmother, as we previously said he hoped to do." The spokesperson added, "They stopped by the UK on their way to the Hague to attend the Invictus Games."
According to royal reporter Omid Scobie, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex dropped by Windsor Castle to spend time with the 95-year-old monarch. TMZ additionally reported that Harry and Meghan flew to London's Heathrow Airport from their home in California with their two young children Archie (2) and Lilibet (10 months), the latter of whom has never met the Queen in person, being allegedly left at home.
The report also stated said that Meghan and Harry met the latter's father Prince Charles amid tension. However, it's uncertain if the Sussexes also visited other royal family members during the visit.
The secret visit marked the first time for Meghan to return to the U.K. since she and her husband moved to Montecito, California. As for Harry, it was his third time already. Prior to this, the military veteran returned to his native country to attend his grandfather Prince Philip's funeral in April 2021 and to unveil a statue of his late mother, Princess Diana, on the grounds of Kensington Palace in July 2021.
