London –
Prince Harry said on Friday that he immediately made arrangements to fly to London after his father Charles III called to tell him he had cancer.
“I jumped on a plane and went to see him as soon as I could,” Prince Harry told Good Morning America. “I love my family, and I’m grateful that I get to fly to see them and spend all my time with them.”
Prince Harry arrived from California less than 48 hours after Buckingham Palace announced on February 5 that the monarch had cancer and had begun treatment.
The monarch’s visit to Clarence House with her second son was relatively brief, with Prince Charles and his wife Queen Camilla seen leaving about an hour later.
The palace did not reveal the type of cancer the 75-year-old king was suffering from, saying only that it was discovered during treatment for an enlarged prostate, but that it was not prostate cancer.
The Duke of Sussex did not provide details about his father’s prognosis. “That’s between me and him,” he said.
Prince Harry has had troubles with his family since quitting royal duties in 2020 and moving to Los Angeles with his wife Meghan, citing the intolerable intrusions and racist attitudes of the British media. listed. He appeared alone at his father’s coronation in May, but left immediately after the ceremony and returned to California for his son’s birthday.
Speaking at an Invictus Games event near Vancouver, Harry was asked if the disease could help reunite families, to which he replied: “Yes, I think so.” He said he was witnessing such a revitalizing effect among wounded soldiers who compete in the competition, which the prince founded in 2014.
“I see it on a daily basis through all these families,” he said. “Again, we know the strength of families coming together.”
