Britain's King Charles has had a private tea with his son Prince Harry at Clarence House in their first face-to-face encounter for 19 months, it is understood.
The pair’s meeting, which lasted 54 minutes, comes after Harry publicly expressed hopes of a reconciliation with his family in May.
Harry was driven through the gates of Charles’s London home on Wednesday afternoon following an earlier engagement at the Centre for Blast Injury Studies at Imperial College London.
Harry arrived at Clarence House in a black Range Rover at 5.20pm and left at 6.14pm ahead of an engagement later on Wednesday evening.
Charles, who is still undergoing treatment for cancer, arrived in London from Balmoral on Wednesday, the penultimate day of his youngest son’s four-day trip to the UK – which increased speculation that the pair would meet.
Harry last saw his father in February last year when he made a transatlantic dash from his Californian home to the UK to see Charles following his cancer diagnosis.
The pair’s previous meeting was less than 24 hours after the announcement about the Charles' health and was without Harry’s wife, Meghan Markle, and their children.
The face-to-face encounter last February appeared to last for as little as 45 minutes – with the latest meeting also lasting less than an hour ahead of Harry's evening engagement.
