Prince Harry speaks for the first time about Charles III’s cancer: “The illness brings families together”: Femme Actuelle Le MAG

It’s an interview that no one expected anymore. As soon as the show was announced Good Morning America – who revealed, Friday February 16, 2024 at the end of the morning, the holding of this exclusive interview with Prince Harry – all the British media are on a war footing. It must be said that since the public revelation of Charles III’s cancer on February 5, 2024, the king’s youngest son had remained silent. If he went to the United Kingdom only a few hours after learning the sad news by telephone, to pay an express visit to his convalescing father, Meghan Markle’s husband has not spoken to the media since. And while he is currently in Whistler, north of Vancouver, Canada, to prepare for the Invictus Games 2025, he finally decided to speak on the American channel ABC.

Prince Harry “jumped on a plane” as soon as his father told him of his illness

In this interview, Prince Harry explains having “jumped on a plane as fast as possible” to go to the bedside of his father, who had just come out of a hospital stay. This visit to the United Kingdom caused a lot of talk in the press, both British and international, because it was so quick. Indeed, the Duke of Sussex barely stayed with the King for an hour. An interview which took place in the London residence of Clarence House, before Charles III left for Sandringham with his wife, Queen Camilla. His son therefore left immediately, without taking the time to go see his older brother, William, and his sister-in-law, Kate Middleton – also recovering following a mysterious surgical procedure, which forced her to cancel her commitments official until Easter.

An express visit therefore, which raised many questions. I have to say that Relations between Prince Harry and the rest of the royal family are far from good for several years, since he decided to step down from his duties to live in the United States with his wife and their two children. Not to mention the shocking revelations that the couple made about the Firm, first in an interview with Oprah Winfrey in March 2021, then in the explosive book The Substitutepublished by the prince in January 2023.

“I love my family”: Prince Harry raises the white flag in front of the crown

“I have more trips to the UK planned. I will come back to see my family as much as I can”however assures the father of Archie and Lilibet with Good Morning America. And to add, as if to allay concerns, or rather to reach out to loved ones: “I love my family”. He also says “grateful” to have been able to spend time with the king following his diagnosis, and considers “that any illness, whatever it may be, brings families together”. Concerning the state of health of Charles III, however, he preferred to kick in: “This stays between him and me.” One thing is certain, this interview with Prince Harry stands out from his setbacks of recent years. THE Daily Mail sees there moreover “an olive branch”perhaps the sign of an upcoming armistice with the rest of the royal family?
