The prince was due to attend a reception for the Invictus Games later in the evening, which means his meeting with Charles lasted less than an hour.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe meeting was brief because of the king\u2019s busy diary and Harry having an Invictus engagement in his diary, but it\u2019s very significant that it has happened,\u201d says Charlotte Griffiths<\/strong>, editor at large at The Mail on Sunday.<\/em> She also revealed that a meeting between Harry and his father was in the cards after their respective communication aides were photographed meeting in London this summer.<\/p>\n \u201cHarry had a meeting in London this morning and then made sure he kept his schedule completely clear so that he could see his father at a moment\u2019s notice,\u201d Griffiths says. \u201cIt was a last-minute diary plan\u2014it wasn\u2019t in Harry\u2019s diary\u2014but perhaps that\u2019s because he was nervous about leaks. He was prepared to drop everything to see his father and he let that be known to the palace.\u201d<\/p>\n Before their meeting, Harry had spent the afternoon in White City touring Imperial College London\u2019s Centre for Blast Injury Studies. While there he stopped to pose for selfies with a small group of fans who had gathered outside wanting to meet him.<\/p>\n The duke told them, \u201cI have to go\u2026I\u2019m so late,\u201d when he rushed off at 3 p.m.<\/p>\n
