Prince Harry has shared that his top priority is his father, King Charles, who is battling cancer.
The Duke of Sussex spoke about his recent—but brief—reunion with the 76-year-old monarch, telling The Guardian that his main goal for the year ahead is to focus on his dad.
“The focus really has to be on my dad,” said Harry, who is celebrating his 41st birthday today.
Prince Harry has revealed that his top priority is his father, King Charles, who is battling cancer.
When asked whether he would like to “spend more time in the UK” and “bring his children one day,” the Spare author replied, “Yes, I would. This week has definitely brought that closer.”
During his brief four-day visit to England last week, Harry attended several charity events in London before reuniting with his estranged father for private peace talks.
The former working royal was spotted arriving by car at the king’s London residence, Clarence House, around 5:20 p.m.
The Duke of Sussex spoke about his recent reunion with the 76-year-old monarch.
The father and son met for a “private tea,” with their conversation reportedly lasting 55 minutes, marking their first in-person meeting in 20 months.
Shortly after the private gathering, Harry offered rare insight into his father’s health.
“He’s great, thank you,” the duke told a royal observer who inquired about the king.
The king held a private audience with Harry last week, with their meeting reportedly lasting 55 minutes.
In his interview with The Guardian, Harry emphasized that his 2023 memoir Spare was “not about revenge” or airing “dirty laundry,” insisting that his “conscience is clear” despite the book’s revelations.
“It was a series of corrections to stories already out there. One point of view had been put out, and it needed to be corrected,” he told the outlet.
“It was a difficult message, but I did it in the best way possible. My conscience is clear. It is not about revenge; it is about accountability.”
Earlier this year, Harry spoke to the BBC about his fractured family dynamics, revealing that the king had refused to speak to him.
The Invictus Games founder shared these comments months after opening up about the same issues, highlighting the ongoing strain in their relationship.
In May, the father of two told the outlet, “I would love reconciliation with my family,” adding, “I don’t know how much longer my father has.”
