It was Charles first meeting with Archie and Lilibet since 2022.

Palace confirmed the private family gathering but released no photographs, and none are expected.

Following this reunion, royal expert Rob Shuter has claimed that Harry and Meghan got the reunion they had been seeking, but, according to insiders, they left without the one thing that could have done the most to elevate their public brand: ‘a royal image the world could see’.

The insiders told the expert while the private audience with King Charles was important, Meghan’s real objective was always the image.

The sources claimed to Naughty But Nice, “The meeting was valuable, but the photograph was the prize.

“Meghan understands the power of imagery better than almost anyone. A single picture with the King would have reminded the world that she and Harry are still royalty. That’s branding gold.”

The royal expert explained that Meghan and Harry have painfully discovered that none of their post-royal ventures have carried the prestige or global attention that comes with a visible connection to the monarchy.

The close confidant continued Palace understood exactly what the royal couple hoped to achieve, and declined to hand them the moment.
