Prince Harry was spotted leaving his mother Princess Diana's ancestral home on Friday, where he reportedly plans to bring his family to pay their respects at her final resting place.
It is understood the Duke of Sussex, 41, and his wife Meghan, 44, plan to take their their children to visit Diana’s grave at her brother Earl Spencer's Althorp estate in Northamptonshire.
It would be the first trip of Archie, seven, and Lilibet, five, to their grandmother's burial site, which is located on an island in the grounds of the estate.
It is unknown if the visit has already taken place of whether it is planned for a later time in the family's UK stay, The Sun reports.
The King hosted the Sussexes at his country estate in Highgrove, Gloucestershire, on Friday, in what appears to be the first public sign of a reconciliation after the couple’s explosive departure from royal duties in January 2020.
Insiders revealed that no pictures or details will be released of the private family reunion. It is unknown at present when the Sussexes will return to California.
Archie, seven, and Lilibet, five, last saw their grandfather in person during Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations in 2022.
It is understood Queen Camilla, who has a private home near the King’s Gloucestershire property, was also among the group.
The King and Harry became estranged for several years after Harry criticised his father, stepmother Camilla, brother the Prince of Wales and sister-in-law Kate in his Oprah interview, Netflix documentary, interviews and his autobiography Spare, after stepping down from the working monarchy.
His rift with William is ongoing and shows no sign of abating. The family reunion took place during the same afternoon William was playing in a charity polo match at Windsor.
In February 2024 Harry made a transatlantic dash from his Californian home to Britain to see his father following his cancer diagnosis, which may have led to the first steps in a reconciliation between the pair.
Harry had planned to bring his family to the UK while he undertook a week-long series of events promoting charities and organisations close to his heart including the Invictus Games he founded.
Security issues prevented Meghan and the children travelling with him on Monday but it appears concerns over safety were mitigated to allow the visit to Highgrove to take place.
In the run-up to the gathering, there was a public disagreement about royal accommodation for the duke that ended with Harry finding his own private lodgings but rumours persisted of Meghan travelling to the UK with their children.
The duke has had an eventful week, on Tuesday he lost his High Court claim, made with a group of celebrities, against the Daily Mail’s publishers over alleged unlawful information gathering.
