Prince Harry arrives in London after catching urgent flight following King Charles’ cancer diagnosis
Prince Harry has landed in London after catching an urgent flight out of Los Angeles following the news of King Charles’ cancer diagnosis.
A convoy believed to be carrying the Duke of Sussex, 39, was spotted at London’s Heathrow Airport just after 2 p.m. local time.
On Monday night, a luxury Range Rover believed to belong to Harry’s entourage was seen arriving at LAX’s VIP terminal as the runaway royal rushed to be by his father’s side.
Harry was whisked away directly from the airport to see his father, who is beginning outpatient cancer treatment. He was later photographed arriving at Clarence House.
His wife, Meghan Markle, is staying put in Montecito, Calif., with their children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
King Charles III, meanwhile, was spotted Tuesday morning appearing to be in good spirits leaving Clarence House with Queen Camilla.
Grant Harrold, who worked for King Charles for seven years when he was the Prince of Wales, exclusively told The Post that Harry’s no doubt feeling “worried” about his father’s ailing health.
“Harry will be worried about Charles, which is why I think he’s coming back to the UK to show support,” Harrold told us.
“I think it’s a really good thing that he’s coming back, it’s good that he’s showing support for his father and, who knows, this might make amends possibly.”
King Charles' cancer diagnosis
- King Charles III has been diagnosed with cancer less than 15 months after ascending to the throne.
- The shocking development came just a week after the 75-year-old king was discharged from the hospital following treatment for an enlarged prostate.
- His estranged son Prince Harry traveled to the UK Tuesday to see his father, returning to California 24 hours later.
- Prince Harry has still not spoken to Prince William on the heels of their father King Charles’ cancer diagnosis — but the shocking news could force the estranged siblings into an uneasy truce, sources say.
- Kensington Palace did not specify when the king would be expected to return to his royal duties, as all of his public engagements have been put on pause.
Charles is believed to be resting at Clarence House, with Princess Beatrice and her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, seen leaving this morning.
It is not known where Harry will be staying during his time in the UK, as he no longer has an official royal residence on that side of the pond.
It is understood that flood warnings in California had previously delayed Harry’s travel plans.
The father of two now travels with his own security team, after his father famously stripped the Sussexes of their right to tax-funded police protection after they quit royal life in 2020.
The duke has been trying to win back UK security protection for his family ever since.
Harry was set to jet off to Canada with Markle next week ahead of the Invictus Games training camp.
It’s not yet known whether the Sussexes will go ahead with the trip, or pull the plug on it altogether.
Meanwhile, the royal family is still dealing with other health woes relating to Kate Middleton, who is still recovering from her abdominal surgery that took place last month.
The Princess of Wales will not be carrying out any royal engagements until after Easter.
To that end, Prince William announced his return to public engagements, revealing he will be stepping up on Wednesday as both his father and wife are out of action for the time being.
Charles, who called Harry personally to deliver the news, revealed his cancer diagnosis to the world on Monday, which came less than 15 months after ascending to the throne.
Officials did not disclose with which specific form of cancer Charles was diagnosed, but Buckingham Palace clarified it is not prostate cancer, according to the BBC.
The shocking development comes just a week after the 75-year-old king was discharged from the hospital following the treatment for an enlarged prostate.
The Post has reached out to reps for the Sussexes and Buckingham Palace for comment.
