Prince Harry has flown back to the United Kingdom to visit his father, King Charles III, following the shocking announcement of the monarch's cancer diagnosis. Media reports confirm that Harry arrived in London on Tuesday after traveling from California. The Duke of Sussex was photographed being driven into the gates of Clarence House, the King's London residence.

Speculation of reconciliation between Harry and his family has arisen, as they have been estranged for years. However, a royal source stated that there are no plans for Harry to meet his brother, Prince William, during his visit.

Charles' cancer diagnosis was revealed on Monday, with reports indicating that he was recently diagnosed while receiving treatment for an enlarged prostate. The specific type of cancer detected has not been disclosed at this time.

Before the official announcement, Harry was personally informed about Charles' health condition by the British monarch himself. William and Charles' siblings, Princess Anne and Princes Edward and Andrew, were also individually informed.

Although the details of Meghan and their children's (Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet) whereabouts are unclear, it appears that they did not make the last-minute journey with Harry. The couple had relocated to the United States after stepping back from royal duties in 2020.

During his previous visits to the UK, Harry had stayed in a hotel in London, as the Sussexes had vacated their official residence at Frogmore Cottage in Windsor.

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak expressed gratitude that Charles' condition was discovered early during an interview with the BBC.

Prince Harry's relationship with his family has been strained since he and Meghan's departure from royal duties, which was followed by their controversial interview with Oprah Winfrey and the release of their Netflix series. In his memoir, Harry claimed that his brother physically attacked him, adding to the tensions between them.

Despite the ongoing difficulties, many hope that Harry's return will lead to a reconciliation with the rest of the royal family. The last time Harry and William reunited was at Charles' coronation, where Harry did not receive an invitation to join the family on the Buckingham Palace balcony.

Prince William is returning to his public duties this week after supporting his wife, Catherine, during her recovery from abdominal surgery.

As Charles handles his treatment, William, as the direct heir to the throne, is likely to assist with official duties and engagements. The cancer diagnosis has brought the royal family together, and they are determined to support Charles during this challenging time.

While the number of working royals has decreased in recent years, efforts will be made to cover Charles' responsibilities. Queen Camilla has taken on a full program of engagements, and other working members of the family may also step in to fulfill duties on Charles' behalf if necessary.

Prince Harry's return to the UK serves as a significant moment, raising hopes for a reconciliation within the royal family amidst the difficult circumstances they currently face.
