Royal | News - Prince Ricardo De La Cerda
Prince Harry refused to be drawn on King Charles’s cancer diagnosis in a TV interview, in a rare sign of loyalty to the Royal Family.
When asked about the King’s prognosis on an interview for Good Morning America, Harry said: “That stays between me and him.”
Earlier in the chat with ABC News’ Will Reeve, Harry said that he spoke with his father about his diagnosis, which was announced publicly on February 5, and quickly made a plan to see him in person.
Speaking from Whistler, Canada, Harry said: “I jumped on a plane and went to go see him as soon as I could. I love my family. The fact that I was able to get on a plane and go and see him and spend any time with him, I’m grateful for that.”
The Duke of Sussex added that he hopes to see Charles again soon, saying: “I’ve got other trips planned that will take me through the UK, or back to the UK, and so I’ll stop in and see my family as much as I can.”
Harry made the comments while in Canada with his wife Meghan Markle for the one year countdown to the Invictus Games 2025.
He moved on to discuss his two children Prince Archie, four, and Princess Lilibet, two, and said they are doing “great” and “growing up very, very fast.”
“They have got an incredible sense of humor and make us laugh and keep us grounded every single day, like most kids do,” he told Reeve. “I’m just grateful to be a dad.”
The Duke said he loves living in the United States, but says he doesn’t feel American. He said he has “considered” becoming a US citizen, but it is “not a high priority”.
