Prince Harry has stated that King Charles’s cancer diagnosis may aid in mending divisions and bringing the royal family back together. He shared his gratitude for having the opportunity to spend time with his father last week.
On Friday, the Duke of Sussex will discuss his father’s diagnosis and his family’s life in California with his wife, the Duchess of Sussex, and their children, in an upcoming US interview.
When asked if the King’s illness could bring healing to the family, he confidently replied to ABC’s Good Morning America show, “Yes, I am certain.”
Earlier this month, Buckingham Palace caused shock and concern in the UK and around the globe by disclosing that the monarch has an unidentified type of cancer.
Doctors discovered the illness while the King was receiving treatment for an enlarged prostate. Officials stated that the condition was “benign” and unrelated to the cancer.
The alarming report caused Harry to quickly return from the United States to visit his father, who has temporarily stepped away from his public responsibilities in order to seek treatment.
The visit sparked rumors that Harry may start to mend his relationship with his father and brother, Prince Charles and William, as their bond has been strained since Harry and Meghan’s decision to step back from their roles as active members of the royal family.
According to reports, the prince had a brief 30-minute visit with Charles at Clarence House, the King’s residence, and did not have the opportunity to see his brother William.
However, Harry stated that he intended to visit the UK more frequently after his father’s diagnosis and expressed his love for his family. He also seemed to indicate the possibility of reconciliation.
He stated that any disease or sickness has the power to unite families. He has observed this phenomenon repeatedly, and it brings him great joy.
The duke mentioned that he and Meghan’s kids are doing well and growing up quickly.
The individual also mentioned that obtaining American citizenship was a thought that had occurred to him, but it is not currently a top priority.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are currently in Canada organizing various activities with participants of the Invictus Games to commemorate one year until Prince Harry’s Invictus Games, which supports injured and ill veterans and military personnel, will take place in the country.
A film team, led by Will Reeve, is documenting their journey. Will is the son of the famous actor Christopher Reeve, known for his role as Superman. He recently interviewed Harry in Whistler, a town known for winter sports, where the 2025 Invictus Games will be held alongside Vancouver.
The rift between the two royal siblings can be attributed to the beginning stages of Harry’s romance with his now-wife, Meghan. At the time, Meghan and the Princess of Wales had a disagreement leading up to their wedding.
After leaving their roles as active members of the royal family in 2020 and relocating to California, the Sussexes have made public accusations and complaints against the monarchy and other members of the royal family, which have caused tension in their relationships.
Meghan and Harry are raising their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, in the exclusive Montecito neighborhood of California.
