The Duke of Sussex broke royal silence on his father’s cancer diagnosis
Despite familial tensions, Prince Harry maintains faith in the adage that challenges can strengthen family bonds.
Former Royal Correspondent Michael Cole expresses skepticism regarding the likelihood of a reconciliation within the royal family following Prince Harry’s revealing interview concerning King Charles’s health.
The Duke of Sussex broke royal silence on his father’s cancer diagnosis, engaging in a candid conversation with Good Morning America during his recent appearance alongside Meghan Markle.
Prince Harry was spotted enjoying the ski slopes of Whistler, Canada, where he and Meghan extended warm greetings to the participants of the 2025 Winter Invictus Games training camp.
During his time in the British Columbia, Harry spoke with ABC News journalist Will Reeves and claimed he flew to the UK “as soon as he was told” about the King’s diagnosis.
The Duke also promised an imminent return to the UK as he has “many trips planned”, claiming he intends to see his family “as much as he can”.
Harry said: “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.”
He also suggested a possible reconciliation following King Charles’s cancer diagnosis: “I think any illness, any sickness, brings families together.”
Reacting to the interview, former royal correspondent Cole says the brothers are embroiled in a “bitter dispute”, and chances of them healing the rift are “slim and none”.
Cole said: “Prince Harry said on this television interview that I love my family. Well, he’s not shown a great deal of love towards them with some very cruel, unkind and hurtful allegations against all the senior members of the Royal family.
