Could the intense news lead to a reconciliation?
Last night, Buckingham Palace announced the shocking news that King Charles had been diagnosed with ‘a form of cancer’. That is of course quite a shock for the monarch and his family – and the news also appears to be causing quite a stir in Montecito. Various sources report that Prince Harry has rushed onto a plane to London to visit his father.
Diagnosis
Last month, King Charles went under the knife for an enlarged prostate, and although he seemed to be recovering well, last night it turned out that a nasty discovery had been made. “During the King’s recent hospital stay for a benign enlarged prostate, an isolated matter of concern was noted. Subsequent diagnostic testing has diagnosed a form of cancer,” an official statement from The Firm said last night.
Family
In such a situation, it naturally helps to have your loved ones around you. Of course, Charles always has his Camilla by his side and we suspect that Prince William does his utmost to divide his time between his own royal duties, caring for Princess Kate, and his duties as George’s dad. , Charlotte, and Louis, and now as support for his father.
Fortunately, Charles can count on the support and dedication of another family member. Prince Harry was spotted last night at LAX airport, where he caught a flight to England.
When asked, the official spokesperson for the Sussexes said: “The Duke has spoken to his father about his diagnosis. He will travel to the UK to visit His Majesty there in the coming days.” According to insiders, King Charles personally called his youngest son to inform him of the bad news, according to Hello! Magazine.
Reconciliation
With relations between the Sussexes and the rest of the Windsors having cooled considerably, this abrupt trip from Harry to London is seen by many royalty watchers as a possible step towards reconciliation. For example, The Spectator writes that Charles would have personally ensured that he could inform his sons, brothers and sister before the news was made public.
“The memory of Harry having to hear the news of his grandmother’s passing via a BBC Breaking News Alert on his phone is still fresh in his mind, and remains a source of shame for the Royal Family,” the newspaper wrote. .
Harry now seems to have welcomed that first sign of goodwill from his father with open arms by flying straight to London, where he landed this afternoon. Who knows what this means for the relationship between the court of Montecito and the home front in London!
