Following a personal call from King Charles regarding his health crisis, which included a recent procedure for an enlarged prostate and a subsequent cancer diagnosis, Buckingham Palace issued an official statement on Monday.
The Duke of Sussex has reportedly embarked on a solo journey to meet his father, as Charles commences treatment.
William and Harry, estranged for over a year, now face an uneasy reunion prompted by the monarch's call.
Amidst speculation about Harry's potential magnanimity towards his elder brother, one well-placed palace source told Page Six, "Is this the moment Harry steps in and extends an olive branch to William?"
The insider suggested that the siblings may reluctantly agree to an uneasy truce for the sake of their father.
Despite reports of Charles' intentions to meet his younger son, William's reluctance to mend the rift has persisted, possibly fueled by public criticisms directed at the royal family.
The Prince of Wales remains reportedly aggrieved by these remarks, complicating the family dynamics further.
