Harry has returned to California, having been seen departing a Delta flight that arrived at LAX at 6.16 PM local time on Wednesday. It's understood that the Prince opted for the Delta service after the British Airways flight he was initially expected to board was delayed by two hours.
Accompanied by a single security guard, Harry quickly handled his luggage, placing it in the back of a "Private Suites" vehicle before swiftly getting in to avoid the rain.
During a charity event in London, the working Prince William may not have had time for Harry, but he did have time for Tom Cruise.
Sky News host Ashleigh Gillon remarked that the Royal Family is opting for privacy regarding King Charles's recent cancer diagnosis, contrasting it with the previous health issue he publicly addressed.
"A few weeks ago, the whole world was applauding, saying well done to King Charles raising awareness about his last health issue – this one is obviously next level,” she observed.
Gillon noted the initial enthusiasm from the British press over the newfound openness, stating, “I think the British press were getting very excited that they were getting this new level of transparency and openness. They thought they were entering a new era."
However, she concluded, "But it looks like they are putting down the shutters and deciding that this one is just too private."
King Charles is set to undergo "a pioneering and less invasive treatment" in his fight against cancer, with plans to receive "highly specialized" outpatient care in London on a weekly basis. During this period, he will reside at Clarence House, and it's anticipated he will spend the rest of the week at Sandringham in Norfolk for rest and recuperation. A source highlighted the advancements in cancer treatment, noting, "Cancer treatment has come on in leaps and bounds in past years and are smarter than was the case previously. The efficacy and side effects are therefore significantly improved."
Despite his treatment, King Charles aims to continue his routine weekly meetings with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, demonstrating his commitment to his royal duties. Both Downing Street and Buckingham Palace have publicly acknowledged a recent discussion between the two, underscoring the King's ongoing engagement with state affairs.
These weekly meetings with the Prime Minister are expected to resume in person on February 21, a little over two weeks following the announcement of Charles's diagnosis. Should health concerns or medical advice necessitate, these sessions, as well as privy council meetings, might take place virtually to accommodate the King's condition.
To reduce the risk of infection during his treatment, the King's public engagements have been temporarily deferred. In his stead, other royal family members, including Prince William, are stepping forward to fulfill public roles.
