Prince Harry returned to the UK on Tuesday, February 5 – less than 24 hours after news broke that King Charles had been diagnosed with cancer.
Harry, 39, travelled straight from Heathrow Airport to Clarence House where he spent just 30 minutes visiting his father.
The 39-year-old made the 11-hour journey solo after wife Meghan Markle opted to remain in the US with their two children, four-year-old Prince Archie and two-year-old Princess Lilibet.
Being more than 5,000 miles away from the UK, Archie and Lilibet have spent very minimal time with their royal relatives. Following her birth in 2021, King Charles said to have only ever had one meeting with his granddaughter, Lilibet.
