Prince Harry has touched down in London after rushing back home to see King Charles following his father’s cancer diagnosis. A motorcade was spotted at Heathrow airport and the Duke of Sussex is believed to be heading straight to see his father.

It comes after he was seen at LAX airport this morning. A Range Rover, believed to belong to Harry, was seen driving into the airport’s private terminal just hours after the bombshell news broke.

The monarch was diagnosed with cancer 10 days after undergoing corrective surgery for an enlarged prostate, Buckingham Palace announced on Monday evening. The palace did not specify which type of cancer Charles has, or which stage, but in a publicly released statement said the illness was picked up during his recent stint at The London Clinic.

Prince William is anticipated to take on some of his father’s official duties as he resumes his engagements this week. Harry left his home in Montecito and travelled to the West Coast airport earlier this morning. He will arrive in the UK today after Charles called him “personally”. Meghan Markle will stay in California with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

In a statement issued on Monday evening, officials said: “During the King’s recent hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement, a separate issue of concern was noted. Subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer.”

The King will “undertake state business and official paperwork as usual”, it has been confirmed, with Charles giving thanks to medical teams for their “swift intervention”.
