Harry was spotted in the back of a Range Rover, part of a large convoy, as he made his way through the gates of Clarence House. King Charles III, 75, is currently recuperating from treatment for an unspecified type of cancer.
This unexpected visit by Prince Harry is being seen by many as a hopeful sign of reconciliation within the royal family, especially following King Charles’ shocking cancer diagnosis. However, the duration of Prince Harry’s stay in the UK remained uncertain, with speculations about whether he would be in central London or opt to stay at Windsor, at Frogmore Cottage, where he and Meghan used to live.

In his tell-all memoir, Harry opened up about his rocky relationship with Camilla. He said meeting Camilla was like an injection, “Close your eyes, over before you know it.” he wrote.
