Prince Harry and his
wife Meghan Markle had a quick unexpected encounter catching
with the Cambridge children and Prince William on Harry’s 38th
birthday.
On Thursday afternoon, as
William, 40, returned to Windsor after collecting his children from school, he
passed his brother and sister-in-law as they were heading in the opposite
direction. The brothers drove past each other but then stopped, reversed,
wound down their windows and chatted for a while.
It’s not believed that Harry
and Meghan’s own children, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor and Lilibet
Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, were with them as the two youngsters appear to
have remained in the US.
The two brothers have had a
few opportunities to spend time together while in mourning for their
grandmother, the Queen, who passed away just a week before Harry’s birthday on
Thursday 8 September.
The walkabout was the first
time William and Kate have been joined by Harry and Meghan for a public
engagement since Commonwealth Day in March 2020. The royal couples
spoke to people on opposite sides of the crowd before leaving in the same
car, driven by William.
