In light of King Charles' recent cancer diagnosis, Prince Harry and his wife attended the Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025's One Year to Go celebrations, demonstrating their continued commitment to important causes.
Reports have surfaced suggesting that Prince Harry might consider resuming his royal duties to support his father during this challenging time. According to The Times, there is a growing sentiment within Clarence House that a reconciliation with Harry could be beneficial, with the possibility of him returning as a working royal. A royal source stated, "On all practical levels, it makes perfect sense for the family to come together to support the King while he's sick."
Given his position as a counsellor of state due to his seniority within the royal family, Prince Harry could potentially receive delegated royal functions from the King through letters patent.
However, despite these reports, it seems unlikely that Harry would fully re-engage with royal duties. The Duke of Sussex stepped back from his role as a working royal in 2020, alongside his wife Meghan Markle, in what was widely referred to as 'Megxit' at the time.
During an interview with Good Morning America on Friday, Prince Harry hinted at his current priorities, particularly his family life in California. When asked about his father's health, he acknowledged the situation but emphasized his focus on his own family. He mentioned having plans that would bring him back to the UK briefly but indicated that his life in California is his primary concern.
Following the announcement of King Charles' diagnosis, Prince Harry promptly returned to the United Kingdom, where he had a 45-minute meeting with his father. This meeting took precedence, with King Charles delaying his trip to Sandringham to spend time with his son.
Prince Harry's actions and statements reflect his ongoing support for his family during this challenging period, balancing personal commitments with potential royal duties amidst his father's health concerns.
