The King and Queen visited the U.S. from April 27–30 for the nation's 250th anniversary, followed by the King’s solo trip to Bermuda May 1–2. Insiders said the tightly scheduled state visit left no room for a reunion, and Harry was not expected to request one.
The outing arrives against the backdrop of the family’s ongoing strains since Harry and Meghan stepped back from royal duties in 2020. The pair met with the King in London in September 2025 — their first face-to-face in 19 months — and Harry last visited in February 2024 after Buckingham Palace announced the King was undergoing cancer treatment, which continues.
