The father-son relationship is understood to be in a sorry state. As conveyed by British media, King Charles III made a significant decision. He no longer sees the fight for a relationship with his son, who consistently keeps his distance from the royal family, as worthwhile.

Reports suggest that the relationship between Charles and Harry is fraught, even in light of the monarch's health issues. Relationship expert Louella Alderson suggests that this lack of communication is a poor omen for the future of their family.

Buckingham Palace's announcement about King Charles III's serious illness on Monday could change a lot.

His Royal Highness was being treated for a benign enlargement of the prostate. During this intervention, a separate issue was discovered which was subsequently diagnosed as cancer. This second condition will now undergo appropriate treatment, according to a Buckingham Palace statement.

Harry to visit Charles III

King Charles III has already started his treatment and doctors have recommended he stop carrying out public duties. Despite his illness, the king "will continue to deal with state affairs and official documents".

Sky has reported that Prince Harry has discussed King Charles III's cancer diagnosis with him and plans to travel to the United Kingdom within the subsequent few days to meet him.

The conflict between Charles III and Prince Harry has been one of the most heated subjects related to the British royal family in recent times. Meghan Markle and her husband have stirred controversy with their move to the USA and their criticisms of the royal family in the media.
