It was the first time the pair had met since February 2024.

The prince, who also appeared with his wife in the 2022 Netflix series Harry and Meghan, also spoke about his upcoming legal case against the Daily Mail’s publisher, Associated Newspapers, at the High Court in London.

He is suing them over allegations of phone-hacking and other unlawful information gathering along with Sir Elton John, Baroness Lawrence and other public figures.

Associated Newspapers has denied claims that it hacked phones, calling them “preposterous smears”.

“It is not about revenge, it is about accountability,” said the Prince, who now lives in the US but returned to the UK last week to attend a series of events related to causes he supports.

Underlining his “love” for the UK, he suggested he would like to return home to see his family more often.

He added that for the coming year, “the focus really has to be on my dad.”
