According to The Sun, it is unknown if the pair met up while on British soil.
Prince Harry’s trip to the British capital coincides with the latest stage of his challenge over the level of security he is given when he is in the UK. The two-day hearing will take place at the Court of Appeal, but it’s still unknown if Harry will attend.
The Duke, 40, took legal action against the Home Office over the February 2020 decision of the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec) that he should receive a different degree of taxpayer-funded protection when in the country.

The High Court was told that the decision was made as a result of a change in the duke’s “status” after he stopped being a “full-time working member of the royal family”.
In a judgment in February last year, retired High Court judge Sir Peter Lane rejected Harry’s case and concluded Ravec’s approach was not irrational nor procedurally unfair.

Harry’s case at the Royal Courts of Justice also coincides with Charles and Camilla’s state visit to Italy. The pair landed in Rome on Monday afternoon, and are expected to carry out a series of engagements over the next few days.
A highlight of the trip is likely to be a glittering black tie State Banquet, hosted by President Mattarella at the Quirinale on the King and Queen’s 20th wedding anniversary on 9 April.

In Ravenna, the King and Queen will commemorate 80 years since British and Canadian armed forces helped to liberate the city from Nazi occupation.
They will sample local delicacies with a British twist, including parmesan and whisky pairings, at a festival celebrating the Slow Food movement in Emilia-Romagna. The King will meet farmers who have been affected by recent flooding, while the Queen will meet representatives from a local domestic violence charity.
The royal visitors will also celebrate literary culture by visiting Dante’s tomb, and the Queen will make a solo trip to the Byron museum.
