Prince Harry ‘in the dark’ over King Charles’ cancer condition

The Duke of Sussex, 40, is reportedly “in the dark” over his father’s health, according to royal insiders.

Harry was in the UK last week, attending a hearing at London‘s High Court in his ongoing battle over financing personal protection officers when in Britain.

Now, PEOPLE magazine is claiming that Charles is intentionally staying distant from his son. This is reportedly in part to avoid being embroiled in questions over his security.

If his father was to say something even seemingly innocuous, it could end up landing in the middle of the court case.

According to the publication, the duke and his father are “distant” at the moment – so much so that Harry is none the wiser to the king’s current condition health-wise.

Royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith claims the ongoing case puts Harry “in direct contact with the people who are carrying out the king’s orders”.

“If his father was to say something even seemingly innocuous, it could end up landing in the middle of the court case,” she said.

Royal Insider has contacted reps for Harry for comment.

Harry’s ‘olive branch’ during UK return

During his trip back to the UK, Harry seemingly offered William and Kate an olive branch, it has been claimed.

The duke stayed at Coworth Park, a five-star hotel in Berkshire. The hotel is located just a short drive from Adelaide Cottage, where Kate, William and their children live.

The choice of hotel was not coincidental, according to a source, who claimed it was seen as a “potential olive branch to make peace after so many years estranged”.

“Harry really is keen to try to salvage some kind of relationship or even reopen dialogue,” an insider told the Express earlier this week.

“Some of us saw Harry being so close to his brother as a gesture of saying ‘hey I am here, close by… what about us trying to work things out?'” they added.

“The problem is that so much has been said by him and his wife on TV – and with Netflix for millions of dollars in profit – which can never be taken back.”

‘Concern’ Harry may release another tell-all book

Meanwhile, fear is reportedly mounting within Buckingham Palace that the duke may release another tell-all autobiography.

Harry, of course, released his bombshell book, Spare, back in 2023. The memoir, which contained several headline-worthy anecdotes and stories, sold 1.4 million in the first 24 hours of its release.

Senior palace aides are reportedly “increasingly concerned” Harry may “tell all” again – particularly in the wake of his most recent court battle over the downgrade of his taxpayer-funded police protection in the UK.

“This is clearly intensely personal,” a source told The Sun. “There are fears about what he might do if the decision goes against him. This could not come at a worse time.”
