Prince Harry visits cancer-stricken King Charles at Clarence House after arriving in UK without Meghan Markle

Prince Harry jetted off to the UK to be by his father King Charles III’s side following the monarch’s cancer diagnosis.

The Duke of Sussex was seen pulling up to a private terminal at Los Angeles International Airport on Monday in his black Range Rover tailed by his security team.

Harry, who traveled without his wife, Meghan Markle, touched down at Heathrow Airport in London on Tuesday before making a “quick visit” to Clarence House to see Charles in the afternoon, Page Six is told.

We exclusively reported earlier Monday that the renegade royal, 39, was planning to visit his dad, 75, after Buckingham Palace announced Charles’ cancer battle.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s team further confirmed to us that Harry already had spoken to the king following his diagnosis and shared that the “Suits” alum, 42, would remain home in Montecito, Calif., with their two children: Prince Archie, 4, and Princess Lilibet, 2.

Charles’ cancer, which hasn’t been specified, was discovered during his successful prostate procedure.

“During The King’s recent hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement, a separate issue of concern was noted,” the palace said in a statement Monday. “Subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer.

“His Majesty has today commenced a schedule of regular treatments, during which time he has been advised by doctors to postpone public-facing duties.

“Throughout this period, His Majesty will continue to undertake State business and official paperwork as usual,” the palace added.

Charles ascended the throne in September 2022 after the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, at the age of 96.

Harry had a falling out with his father and the Prince of Wales, 41, after he and Markle resigned from their royal duties in 2020 and moved to California.

Since then, the Sussexes have openly discussed their criticism of the monarchy and their family members, forcing a wedge between the relatives.

Harry and Charles have reportedly been in touch despite their differences, though it’s unclear if the redheaded royal is back in William’s good graces amid their dad’s diagnosis.
