Prince Harry’s recent comments about King Charles’ health have reportedly left the Palace feeling frustrated.
The Duke of Sussex, during a rare interview on Good Morning America, shared his hopes to return to the UK and mend ties with the Royal Family.
He suggested that his father’s illness could help heal their ongoing feud.
“Throughout all these families I see it on a day-to-day basis the strength of the family unit coming together.
I think any illness, any sickness brings families together,” he told host Will Reeve. However, Buckingham Palace was reportedly “exasperated” by Harry’s remarks.
Royal expert Emily Andrews shared her thoughts: “Courtiers back here in the UK sighed with muted exasperation, as Harry said his father’s cancer could ‘absolutely’ bring the family closer, but it was pretty harmless stuff overall.”, reports The Mirror Online.
Writing for Woman magazine, Emily expressed sympathy for Harry following his GMA interview. She added: “The Invictus Games are arguably one of the best things he’s ever done and he achieved this with the full support of the royal machine. To hear him talk about wanting to reunite with the family he has spent the last four years criticising filled me with sadness.”

Harry talked about his plans to come back to the UK and also said that he learned about Charles’ cancer from the King himself. Harry told how he found out: “I spoke to him.”
Will asked what Harry did after hearing the news, and Harry said: “I jumped on a plane and went to go see him as soon as I could.”
Harry didn’t want to talk about the King’s health in detail and mentioned “that stays between me and him”.
The Duke of Sussex felt thankful that he could visit his dad after finding out about his illness. He managed to come to the UK for one day.
He shared: “Look 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.”
