Charles III’s cancer: Prince Harry says he’s ‘confident’ his father’s illness can bring the royal family together

What if misfortune obscured good news? Prince Harry said Friday that he is “confident” that his father, King Charles III’s cancer, will help unite the English royal family, torn apart by years of tension and shattering confessions. The prince, who has lived in California with his wife Meghan Markle since 2020, flew to London in early February to visit King Charles, less than 24 hours after announcing the monarch’s cancer diagnosis.

“I jumped on a plane and went to see him as soon as I could,” Harry told US television network ABC. When asked about the possibility of family reconciliation thanks to this new situation, the 39-year-old prince replied: “Yes, I’m sure of it.” “I love my family. The fact that I was able to get on a plane and see him and spend time with him, I’m grateful for that,” he said. Although he’s focused on his “own family” right now, he said he has He has other trips planned that will take him “across the UK.” “I’ll see my family as much as I can,” he promised.

No meetings with my brother

His return to London raised questions and speculation about a possible reconciliation or at least a meeting with older brother William, with whom relations were severed following Harry’s repeated public attacks on him and the royal family. But the meeting did not take place.

In his autobiography, The Replacement, Harry is particularly critical of his elder, whom he describes as angry, and speaks of his pain at having spent his entire life being his “shadow, (his) double, (his) Plan B ” . This also implies that William did not marry his wife Kate for love. As with his whirlwind visit to Charles’ coronation in May, Prince Harry arrived alone, without his wife Meghan and children Archie and Lilibet.
