Harry was not expected to meet up with his father while in the UK - even though the King was informed of his visit - as he is "busy" on Monday and Tuesday.
On Wednesday, he started the first state visit of his reign with a three-day trip to Germany with Queen Camilla, where they were given a ceremonial welcome at Berlin's Brandenburg Gate and attended a state banquet at Schloss Bellevue.
His visit also comes amid questions over whether he and Meghan will be in the UK in just six weeks time to attend the Coronation of his father at Westminster Abbey.
