Now to some breaking news from the UK and King Charles has been reunited with his grandchildren Archie and Lilibet for the first time in four years during Prince Harry's trip back to his homeland. Europe correspondent Hannah Sinclair has the details. The King has finally seen his grandchildren Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet in a long-awaited reunion at Highgrove House. The first full family visit in four years. The catch-up, a private meeting with no pictures released. The Duke of Sussex earlier marking one year until Invictus Games with an event in Birmingham. Harry trying his hand at pickleball, wheelchair rugby and laser run with an Australian teammate. The Duke also having a laugh with a British TV host. Your kids and Meghan must be so proud of you. Do they tell you every day? They don't tell me every day that they're proud of me but yeah I'm proud of them, they're proud of me. I love my family. Meghan was supposed to be joining him for the event but pulled out at the 11th hour after deciding not to make any public appearances. Princess Kate on the other hand showing up to cheer on Prince William competing in a charity polo match. This is nice, he's looking for Prince William. He's going to try and hold it now. Meanwhile British police investigating disgraced former Prince Andrew are now reportedly planning to travel to the US to interview Virginia Dufresne's family about her sexual assault allegations. This Prince Harry, Meghan and their two kids have met with King Charles and the Queen. The long-awaited royal reunion is the first time in four years that the king has seen his grandkids. For more we're joined by The Telegraph's associate editor Camilla Tomady-Light from Hertfordshire in the UK. Camilla, momentous occasion yes? Yeah it's momentous isn't it? As you say there it's been four years the family were last over at the Platinum Jubilee in 2022. They've had a private meeting with the King and Queen at Highgrove which is the King's Gloucestershire residence so a couple of hours drive from London. Don't quite know what went on, how long it went on and indeed Buckingham Palace have said there won't be any imagery from the meeting but it's a positive end to what's been a quite difficult week for Harry and Meghan. Yeah the last time King Charles saw Archie and Lilibet they were only three and one and it occurs to me that now they're old enough to remember meeting grandpa so that's quite emotional for him and for everyone I guess. Yeah exactly and everyone knows how quickly children change in a matter of months not just years so to now see them what age seven and nearly five of course they'll look like completely different children to the ones that he last saw. There has been contact between father and son we understand there's been video calls and such like so one would imagine that the King has been able to see the children remotely but yes to see them in the flesh is certainly going to be something special for both sides. Private reunion as you mentioned do you think they're going to get out and about in public or is that a bit much too soon? Well we've obviously had this whole row about Harry's security and indeed the security that's going to be afforded or not to Meghan and the children if they come over. Meghan was due to appear in Birmingham at this year out till the Invictus Games event but pulled out of that because of the ongoing row over whether or not they can have taxpayer funded bodyguards. Clearly the decision has been made for them to not do very many public facing roles together but to enjoy this private time. However now that they are in the UK then one does wonder well what changed in the security situation to allow Harry to be comfortable with the idea of his wife and two children coming here. Is it because it's not a bells and whistles kind of public visit but it's a very private one because we know the family's been in Europe anyway I mean many people have been saying look what makes them less safe in London for instance than in Montecito or anywhere else on this continent. So that's a tricky one and of Tell us more about that. simply hadn't come up with evidence and that feelings weren't fact. You may remember Dan that back in the day when Harry actually appeared in the doc to give his evidence he got quite tearful when he talked about Meghan and the idea that the male group had harassed her and made her life a misery but it's a resounding victory for Associated Newspapers and indeed for the press in the UK because had the judgment gone the other way we could have seen a reintroduction of a quest for state regulation of our media and that's something well at least journalists like me and the people that I work with very much want to resist. Yes me as well. Camilla I find it very hard to keep up with the royals it's like the peace treaty in Iran it's on it's off times are good times are terrible are we trending in the right direction is there reconciliation going on is Harry going to catch up with William where are we headed? Well you say that Dan I think there's father and son reconciliation isn't there clearly today at Highgrove. I don't think the Prince of Wales had much to do with this at all and he's been notable by his absence from any of the shenanigans that have gone on in recent days with regard to whether or not Harry can stay at Buckingham Palace the aftermath of the court case and all the rest of it. My understanding is that William and Kate are keeping their distance they don't want to be sucked into the Sussex psychodrama and they are preferring that age-old royal mantra keep calm and carry on. That's it don't explain just push forward I tell you what as far as scandals with Harry going Harry not staying at Buckingham Palace is slightly better than where we've come from a decade ago there's no new billiards going on so things may be trending in the right direction thanks Camilla. Well I think so and also to go and see the king at Highgrove I mean that's arguably the king's favourite property of all so it was probably designed to make them feel happy make them feel comfortable don't forget that after the divorce Prince Harry spent a great deal of time in Gloucestershire he'll be very familiar with the territory and I think that's how the royals have tried to reach out. Thanks for your time.
