Prince Harry has claimed his father King Charles III is "great" following their private meeting where they travelled to Clarence House in London.
Prince Andrew briefly reentered the public light to attend the funeral of Britain's Duchess of Kent, Katharine, three years after he was ousted as a senior royal following allegations that he collaborated with convicted American sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Andrew, 65, was photographed alongside Prince William at the London memorial on Tuesday, Sept. 16, honoring the late duchess Katharine Worsley, who died earlier this month at age 92. He was also joined by his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, at the Westminster Cathedral, according to photos shared by Reuters.
Katharine, the wife of a cousin of the late Queen Elizabeth II, died peacefully at her home in Kensington Palace on the evening of Sept. 4, according to Buckingham Palace.
King Charles was also present for the ceremony on Tuesday, becoming the first British monarch in over four centuries to attend a Roman Catholic funeral, Reuters reported. William's wife Kate was also present. The king's wife, Queen Camilla, was absent as she's recovering from sinusitis.
The rare sighting comes after Andrew's reputation became tarnished by a sex abuse lawsuit filed by Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who accused the second son of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip of sex trafficking her as a teenager.
In 2015, Giuffre, who was among the most outspoken of Epstein's abuse accusers, said she was trafficked at 17 to Andrew by the disgraced financier three times around 2001. On April 25, her family announced that she died by suicide near her home in Neergabby, Australia.
In February 2022, the sex abuse lawsuit was settled for an undisclosed total and a "substantial donation" to Giuffre's charity.
Andrew has denied Giuffre's allegations and expressed regret for his former friendship with Epstein. In a 2019 BBC interview, he said he had "no recollection of ever meeting this lady, none whatsoever."
"Prince Andrew regrets his association with Epstein, and commends the bravery of Ms. Giuffre and other survivors in standing up for themselves and others," one of the 2022 documents filed in federal court in New York read. "He pledges to demonstrate his regret for his association with Epstein by supporting the fight against the evils of sex trafficking, and by supporting its victims."
Following the settlement, Andrew was forced to retire as a senior royal, and Queen Elizabeth II stripped him of his patronages and military associations, making him a royal persona non grata.
He has only made public appearances at family events including his parents' funerals.
