Prince Harry had a busy day yesterday, spending just 45 minutes with his father. Despite having a wide array of royal residences at his disposal, he chose to stay in a luxurious hotel for the night, according to sources. Instead of staying at Windsor Castle, which would have been a convenient location for his trip to Heathrow Airport, the Duke opted for a central London location. This allowed him to recover from the jetlag of his 11-hour flight before his brief meeting with his father.
After their short visit, the King was seen hurrying off to a waiting helicopter near Clarence House at Buckingham Palace. It's been reported that he is heading to Sandringham in Norfolk with his wife, Queen Camilla. Meanwhile, Harry had arrived in the UK around 1pm yesterday, after a 10-and-a-half hour flight. It's believed that he learned of his father's diagnosis during a direct phone call. However, there are no plans for the Duke of Sussex to meet with his brother, the Prince of Wales, during his brief stay.
Sources have shared that Harry would have welcomed a meeting with his brother, but his primary reason for traveling to the UK was to visit his father. If the opportunity had arisen, he would have gladly accepted it. Despite both princes being in contact with their father, they have not made any public statements regarding his illness. Harry's stay in London is expected to be a short one, as he will soon return to his wife Meghan Markle and their two children in Montecito, California. He did not stay in any royal residences for the night, as he had previously handed in his keys to Frogmore Cottage.
Prince Harry landed at Heathrow around 1pm yesterday, making the trip from the US where he currently resides. The last time he flew to the UK was in September for the Well Child Awards, where he also stayed in a hotel. There were hopes that the family would be able to reunite during this trip, following Harry's transatlantic dash. Sources revealed that he immediately made the decision to travel to the UK upon learning of his father's diagnosis.
In an announcement from the Office of The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, it was confirmed that Prince Harry will be visiting his father in the coming days. During their brief meeting yesterday, the duke did speak with his father about his diagnosis. Despite the distance and the circumstances, it's heartwarming to see the Duke of Sussex making the trip to be by his father's side.
