The royals did not mention anything negative during their brief encounter, thus Prince Harry and Meghan’s journey to the UK remained cloaked in secrecy. Their contacts with the Queen and Prince Charles were seen as a peace-offering gesture.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stopped in for a year on Thursday en route to the Netherlands. The pair also had the opportunity to meet the future king, who was in attendance at St George’s Chapel with Camilla for the annual Maundy Thursday ceremony.

Their meeting with the Prince of Wales was said to have started at 10 a.m. and lasted about 15 minutes. According to a source, the royals have said nothing about the Duke’s planned biography or the Sussexes’ explosive Oprah appearance. The meeting’s main emphasis was Lilibet and Archie.

Due to several essential commitments during their key visit to the UK, Prince William and Kate Middleton apparently did not have the opportunity to spend time with the Sussexes.
