Prince Harry is reportedly planning a poignant return to the UK next month amidst the bombshell double cancer diagnosis within the Royal Family

The Duke of Sussex is set to attend a service marking a decade of the Invictus Games, and it’s understood he’s eager for a reunion with Prince William during his visit.

This comes after the distressing news that both King Charles and Kate Middleton are battling cancer. The Duke and his wife Meghan Markle have made their life in Montecito, California, since stepping back from Royal duties in 2020. Harry has limited his trips home over the past four years, but the health scares of his father and sister-in-law have prompted him to spend more time in Britain to support his family.

Harry made a brief visit to the UK in January following the update on King Charles’s health, managing a short 30-minute meeting with the monarch. Speaking to Good Morning America after his January trip, Harry hinted at future visits, saying: “So my family and my life in California is as it is. I have got other trips planned.” He added, “That would take me through the UK or back to the UK, so you know, I’ll stop in and see my family as much as I can.”

Tensions within the Royal family have been at an all-time high following Prince Harry and Meghan’s barrage of bombshell revelations in interviews, including their sit-down with Oprah Winfrey, their six-part Netflix series, and the release of Harry’s explosive memoir, ‘Spare’.
The rift between Harry, Meghan, and the rest of The Firm was apparent even before the couple decided to step back from Royal duties, as we’ve covered before. This was echoed in a book published last year which claimed that King Charles once ‘infuriated’ Harry by suggesting he might not financially support Meghan in the future.

In ‘Our King’, author Robert Jobson delves into the fraying ties between Harry and other key members of the Royal family. The book exposes a deepening divide between Harry and his brother William, with the level of animosity reportedly taking Charles by surprise. Jobson’s account also sheds light on a particularly shocking episode that left Harry seething. During a pre-wedding meeting involving both princes and Charles, Harry planned to inform his father of his intentions to marry Meghan.

However, William had already spilled the beans. When Harry proceeded to tell Charles, William interjected with a cautionary “Are you sure, Harold? “. The real “bombshell” came when Charles expressed to his younger son that he might not be able to financially support Meghan alongside his responsibilities to Camilla, William, Catherine, and their children in the future. Charles is thought to have indicated he “couldn’t afford to pay for Meghan in the future”. This revelation is said to have left Harry “infuriated”.

Adding insult to injury, Prince Harry felt slighted during a period of internal strife and growing perceived slights. The book by Mr Jobson reveals that Harry believed his brother William disapproved of Meghan, his then-fiancee, viewing their relationship as a “whirlwind affair”.
Furthermore, Meghan’s initial meetings with Kate Middleton left her feeling that the Duchess of Cambridge was somewhat “stand-offish”. These shocking revelations come at a time when relations between the Sussexes and the Royal Family were at an all-time low.
