Prince Harry: The King’s Illness Could Strengthen Our Bond

Share

Prince Harry, in a recent interview with ABC’s Good Morning America, expressed that his father King Charles’s cancer diagnosis could potentially strengthen the bond within the British royal family. He noted that illnesses often bring families closer together. This was Prince Harry’s first interview since his father postponed all public duties due to his cancer diagnosis.

In 2020, Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, relocated to the US after stepping back from their roles as senior royals. Harry recently returned to the UK to visit his father following the announcement of his cancer diagnosis. The type of cancer has not been disclosed, but it was confirmed that it is not prostate cancer.

King Charles has temporarily ceased all public duties while he undergoes treatment. Other senior royals, including Queen Camilla and the Prince of Wales, have assumed some of his responsibilities.

Prince Harry visited London on February 6 without his wife and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. However, he did not meet with his brother, the Prince of Wales, during this visit.

In other news, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have relaunched their Archewell website under the new name, the Office of Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. The couple also recently visited the training camp for the 2025 Invictus Games in Whistler, British Columbia.

Meanwhile, Buckingham Palace has confirmed that the Prince of Wales will be attending the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (Bafta) film awards in London on Sunday. This will be Prince William’s first high-profile royal engagement since the announcement of King Charles’s cancer diagnosis and his wife’s surgery. The Princess of Wales underwent abdominal surgery on January 16 and has since returned to Adelaide Cottage, Windsor, to be with their three children.
