Prince Harry returns to UK after King Charles’s cancer diagnosis
The Duke of Sussex has enjoyed a brief reunion with the king after taking an overnight flight from California to visit his father following Buckingham Palace’s announcement of the monarch’s cancer diagnosis.
Prince Harry landed at Heathrow shortly after midday following an 11-hour flight from Los Angeles. Travelling alone, the Duchess of Sussex having stayed in the US with the couple’s two children, Harry was pictured being driven from the airport in a black Range Rover with a police escort.
He was driven straight to the king and queen’s London residence, Clarence House, where King Charles was resting after outpatient treatment on Monday for an undisclosed form of cancer.
About 45 minutes later, the king and queen were driven to Buckingham Palace to be flown by helicopter to the king’s private Sandringham estate in Norfolk.
It was King Charles’s first appearance in public since his diagnosis was announced, and he smiled and waved at well-wishers during the drive.
Buckingham Palace announced on Monday that the king, who acceded to the throne 17 months ago, had been diagnosed with cancer after a “separate issue of concern” was noted during treatment for a benign enlarged prostate. It said he did not have prostate cancer.
While no further details have been given by Buckingham Palace about the type of cancer or prognosis, Rishi Sunak appeared to reveal in an interview on BBC Radio 5 Live that the king’s condition had been “caught early”.
When asked on what information his comment was based, No 10 suggested the prime minister had been referring to the fact that Buckingham Palace had noted the swift intervention of his medical team.
King Charles, 75, who has postponed all of his public duties, has already begun his medical care as an outpatient under the supervision of his specialist team of doctors. A palace source told the Telegraph: “He’s on his usual good form in every way, just a little frustrated that his condition has affected not just his own plans but impacted on others.”
