Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were sworn to secrecy by King Charles who insisted nothing about their reunion was leaked, reports claim. The King would only allow his aides to confirm the meeting with the Sussexes had taken place after Harry left Highgrove House, according to Vanity Fair.
A source told the publication a time was agreed for the Sussexes to visit Highgrove last Friday afternoon, adding: “It was uncharacteristically last-minute for the King. Everyone was sworn to secrecy so that the meeting could remain private.”
Queen Camilla drove to Highgrove to join the King “in quite a hurry” as Charles wanted her by his side for moral support, Vanity Fair reports.
It emerged last Friday night that the King had reunited with Harry, Meghan and his grandchildren, Archie, seven, and Lilibet, five. They last saw their grandfather in person during Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations in 2022.

When Prince Harry took his family to the King’s private residence in Gloucestershire last weekend for a royal reunion, only a select few were aware of what was happening, even the royals. New reports about the secret meeting at Highgrove House last Friday bring fresh insight into what really has gone on behind the scenes.
The meeting took place while Prince Harry was carrying out engagements throughout the country for his charities. Harry’s wife, Meghan Markle, and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, managed to sneak into the UK unnoticed, just as news about their whereabouts and their potential return to Britain were dominating the news. Sources close to the Sussex couple have told Vanity Fair that Friday’s meeting, which lasted for about an hour, was “completely cloak-and-dagger, orchestrated by the King.”
