The Platinum Jubilee was the setting for quite a few significant moments for members of the royal family. Not only did the occasion commemorate Queen Elizabeth II’s 70-year reign, it also served as the backdrop for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s reunion with the royal family. Following the couple’s first public appearance with the royals at the National Service of Thanksgiving at St. Paul’s Cathedral, Harry and Meghan reportedly reconnected with Prince Charles during a secret meeting.

According to a report from OK! via The Daily Express, Harry and Meghan joined Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall at Clarence House following the church service. While attending the National Service of Thanksgiving, the tension between the Sussexes and other members of the royal family was definitely palpable. The couple was seated on the opposite side from Prince William, Kate Middleton, and Prince Charles, and neither party seemed particularly inclined to acknowledge the other.

Following the church service, Harry and Meghan opted not to attend the reception at Guildhall, per the outlet. However, they were reportedly seen leaving Clarance House sometime following the morning’s festivities, and Camilla and Charles left their home not long after the reported reunion.

It’s not entirely shocking that Prince Charles and his son took some time to reconnect. We know the father and son share a special bond, as evidenced by the portrait Charles keeps in Clarence House from Harry and Meghan’s wedding day. While we may never know what went on behind the closed doors at Charles and Camilla’s home, we can only hope that the get-together served as an opportunity for Charles and Harry to repair their rift.
