London (CNN) — King Charles and Queen Camilla hosted the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet on Friday afternoon at Highgrove House, the king’s private country residence in Gloucestershire, England.

The meeting marks the first time King Charles has seen the whole family in four years, when Harry, Meghan and their children were in the UK for the late Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

In the years since, Harry has made several quick trips back to the UK, most notably attending his grandmother’s funeral in 2022 and his father’s coronation in 2023. The last known meeting between the duke and his father was in September when the pair had tea at Clarence House in London.

Harry, who arrived in the United Kingdom on Monday evening, returned this time to mark the one-year countdown to the Invictus Games, the Paralympic-style sporting competition for injured servicemen and veterans he set up more than a decade ago, as well as carry out several other charity engagements.

CNN previously reported that his wife and their two children might join him later in the week, as there was hope that the trip would allow King Charles to reunite with his young grandchildren, who are now 7 and 5-years-old.

The royal family will not release any images or further details of the meeting given that it was a private family occasion, CNN understands.

British media have reported that Meghan and the children were vacationing in Portugal, where they have a home, prior to visiting the UK this week.

CNN’s Anna Stewart and Lauren Kent contributed to this report.

(CNN) — For Barry Lee Williams, a visitor to Washington, DC, the last day of President Donald Trump’s Great American State Fair coincided with a literal religious experience.

At 81, Williams was among at least 190 people to be baptized over the past 16 days on the National Mall, as the fair, one of the centerpieces of the Trump administration’s events to celebrate America’s 250th birthday, has been taking place.

On Friday, the fair was winding to a close after weeks of scattered crowds, logistical setbacks and controversy over its offerings. But a surprising beneficiary of the event was a religious prayer ministry which was not a part of the official programming at all.

David’s Tent, a 24/7 musical prayer ministry, had operated on the grounds of the capital’s landmark since before the president held a modestly attended June 25 rally to kick off what was meant to be a modern-day World’s Fair.

Speaking after her husband’s baptism beneath the tent, Sue Williams told CNN: “Oh, this is wonderful. The setting is wonderful, and people keep on worshiping.”

“I am so thankful,” she added.

The reviews for the fair happening around them have been more mixed.

First conceived of on the campaign trail by Trump in 2023, the fair was meant to showcase exhibits from every US state and territory and was organized by Freedom 250 — a Trump-backed nonprofit tasked with putting on a series of semiquincentennial events that cater to the president’s cultural agenda.

The state pavilions have varied, with some less decorated than others. Officials from Washington, Massachusetts, Illinois, North Carolina and Connecticut told CNN they declined to organize booths for their state, citing limited finances.

While some states presented meek offerings, other states were able to generate buzz throughout the event. Popular booths on Thursday ranged from Florida — which features an immersive display highlighting its citrus industry — to Colorado, which hosts a kayak simulator and a ski-lift photo set up.

With little shade on the fairgrounds, groups of people have regularly crowded under the scaled-down replica of the president’s proposed Triumphal Arch to escape the sun and temperatures that soared into the triple digits for multiple days. Outside food, water bottles and coolers are prohibited on the fairgrounds for security purposes, but free water stations to prevent visitors from overheating had been made available throughout the event.

The two most popular attractions, outside of the state booths, have been the daily rodeo performance and the 110-foot Ferris wheel, which has had a steady line of visitors.

Meanwhile, Freedom 250’s FIFA Fan Fest, a large watch party for the World Cup on the National Mall, has consistently drawn large crowds. Earlier this week, dozens of young people packed in to watch the United States take on Belgium.

Scorching temperatures and weather delays have prompted modest attendance on the grounds, with many onstage events featuring small crowds. According to Freedom 250, the fair has been forced to close or temporarily close its doors due to weather at least four times. As the fair closed for several hours on the afternoon of July 3, CNN’s Derek Van Dam, who had been covering the event, reported the mall offered little shade with few trees or other protection, with some attendees relying on umbrellas for relief.

Freedom 250 spokesperson Julia Friedland said last week that some 150,000 people showed up in the first thre
