Harry made a secret visit to another family member on UK trip, sources report

Though Prince Harry's visit to his father King Charles was the subject of many headlines, it turns out the Duke of Sussex made another stop while he was in the UK.

A source confirmed to the hosts of Hello! Magazine's A Right Royal Podcast Andrea Caamano and Emily Nash that while the 41-year-old had to miss the funeral of the Duchess of Kent, he still paid his respects in-person.

The royal reportedly privately travelled to Kensington Palace to "personally pay his respects and offer condolences" to the Duke of Kent.

"He has loved catching up with family, friends, and colleagues," the source close to the Duke told the outlet, adding that his only regret was not being able to stay longer due to engagements in Ukraine.

"The whole trip felt like a real success for everyone involved. His passion for his patronages and the causes he cares about hasn't dimmed one bit - he's already buzzing to get back and do more."

The royal recently paid a visit to his father for the first time in 19 months, after last visiting him in February 2024 following the news that he was diagnosed with cancer.

Back then, he had rushed to his father's side and rushed back home to his wife, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, and his children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet just as quickly.

His recent visit was also quick, a 55-minute meeting in Clarence House over a spot of tea, but it has been the subject of headlines across the world and ongoing debate about whether it will lead to the healing of the royal family.

Prince Harry made a trip to the UK earlier this month, coinciding with the third anniversary of the late Queen Elizabeth II's death, and had a jam-packed four days of events.
