Prince Harry, a member of the royal family, is set to return to the United Kingdom following the announcement of his father, King Charles III’s, recent cancer diagnosis. Buckingham Palace disclosed on Monday that King Charles, aged 75, has been diagnosed with cancer and has commenced immediate treatment. As a result, his public duties will be delayed, as confirmed by the palace.
The news of King Charles’ illness has prompted Prince Harry to make his way to London on Monday, according to an official spokesman for The Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Reports suggest that Prince Harry had a conversation with his father after learning of the diagnosis, indicating a familial response to the shared adversity.
While Buckingham Palace did not provide specific details regarding the type of cancer Charles is facing, reports indicate that the King personally informed his sons, including Prince Harry and Prince William, as well as his siblings, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew, and Prince Edward, about his health condition following the medical diagnosis.
However, Prince Harry’s wife, Meghan Markle, along with their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, will not be accompanying him on his journey to the UK, according to sources. Confirmation regarding their absence is still pending.
As for Prince William and Kate Middleton, there are no definitive updates. Kate, the Princess of Wales, is currently recovering from recent abdominal surgery, which led to her hospitalization for approximately two weeks.
The diagnosis of cancer follows King Charles’ recent hospitalization for a corrective procedure related to an enlarged prostate. Buckingham Palace’s statement on Monday revealed that during the procedure, a separate issue of concern was noted, leading to subsequent diagnostic tests identifying the presence of cancer.
King Charles has commenced a schedule of regular treatments following the diagnosis, prompting doctors to advise him to postpone public-facing duties. However, the palace assured that His Majesty will continue to undertake state business and official paperwork as usual during this period.
