After traveling to London for just 24 hours to visit his father after King Charles was diagnosed with an unknown form of cancer, Prince Harry is speaking out.
While a guest on Good Morning America, Harry was asked about his visit, to which he replied saying, “I spoke to him. I jumped on a plane and went to go see him as soon as I could. 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.”
However, Prince Harry declined to share any specifics about the health battle King Charles is currently facing. “That stays between me and him,” he told GMA before admitting that this time in their lives could potentially lead to the reunification of their family.
“Absolutely. Yeah, I’m sure. Throughout all these families, I see it on a day-to-day basis, the strength of the family unit coming together,” he admitted.
Prince Harry then revealed he does have future plans to visit his father more, but that the distance does make it difficult considering he has a family of his own in California. “I have my own family, as we all do. My family and my life in California is as it is. I’ve got other trips planned that would take me through the U.K. or back to the U.K., so I’ll stop in and see my family as much as I can.”
Harry also revealed that he has “considered” becoming a citizen of the United States now that he has lived here with wife Meghan Markle and their two children for four years now. Children, Prince Harry says, who keep him and Meghan laughing all the time and a life that’s “amazing. I love every single day.”
“The kids are doing great. The kids are growing up like all kids do, very, very fast. They’ve both got an incredible sense of humor and make us laugh and keep us grounded every single day, like most kids do. I’m just grateful to be a dad.”
Just as the King prepares to undergo treatment for an enlarged prostate, The Times is reporting that both the King’s second son, Prince Harry, and his younger brother, Prince Andrew’s, Counsellor of State eligibility was “nullified” shortly after Charles’ became King. The move was done quietly and went unreported, until now.
The Counsellors of the State are “working members of the Royal Family” whom King Charles would call upon should he be unable to fulfill his duties due to his health. Nonetheless, while those roles are in place, sources say that won’t be necessary at this time.
Because both Prince Harry and Prince Andrew are no longer “working members” of the Royal Family, they won’t be called upon if ever needed. The Counsellors of State Bill was reportedly changed in November 2022, when it was revealed that ONLY “working members of the Royal Family will be called on to act as Counsellors of State.”
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have made their decision. As it has been widely reported, Prince Harry’s father, King Charles is set to celebrate his coronation on May 6th.
May 6th is also Harry’s son, Archie’s, fourth birthday.
Up until a few moments ago, it was unclear if Harry and Meghan would attend the coronation amidst the turmoil that currently overshadows their relationship with the Royal family. Now, the answer is clear.
According to several reports, Prince Harry will be attending his father’s coronation. However, Meghan Markle will not.

As People reports, Meghan has made the decision to stay home with her and Harry’s two children in order to celebrate Archie’s fourth birthday. As you may recall, this isn’t the first time a major Royal family celebration overshadowed Harry’s children’s birthdays.
As Mamas Uncut reported last year, their daughter, Lilibet’s, first birthday was overshadowed by Queen Elizabeth’s final jubilee. Both Harry and Meghan made the decision to attend that celebration, opting to celebrate Lilibet at their Frogmore cottage.
However, Meghan and Harry no longer own or have access to the cottage, which could possibly have something to do with Meghan’s decision to stay in California with Archie and Lilibet.
This will be one of the first times Harry will be spending time with his family since the release of his Tell-All memoir, which he calls a “firsthand account of my life that’s accurate and wholly truthful.”
It’s unclear if Harry will hold any sort of role in the coronation, or if he will simply be an audience member. Harry and Meghan are no longer working members of the family since they moved out of England in 2020.
The coronation will be a three-day event. But according to People, Harry is only expected to attend the crowing ceremony and nothing more.
In a past interview, Harry admitted that the relationship with his family “never needed to be this way,” before referring to “the leaking and the planting” of stories in the British press. “I want a family, not an institution.”
Harry continued to say the institution “feels as though it is better to keep us somehow as the villains,” and that “they have shown absolutely no willingness to reconcile. I would like to get my father back. I would like to have my brother back.”
Maybe attending the coronation will be the first step to achieving just that.
