Prince Harry, currently in the UK to support his ailing father King Charles, opted not to reconnect with his elder brother Prince William and sister-in-law Princess Kate.
The Duke of Sussex, who traveled from California solo to be with his father following cancer treatment, chose to depart for an undisclosed location after spending less than an hour with King Charles at Clarence House.
"King Charles was visibly delighted to have his estranged son by his side," a source revealed, noting the king's buoyant spirits upon Harry's visit.
Prince Harry appeared confident and composed as he was photographed for the first time since Buckingham Palace disclosed his father's cancer diagnosis.
Insiders disclosed that there are currently "no plans" for a meeting between Harry and William.
Prince Harry did not visit Adelaide Cottage in Windsor, where Princess Kate is recovering from undisclosed abdominal surgery.
However, according to PEOPLE, a source close to the royal household expressed hope that Harry would eventually bring his children to visit, fostering family unity.
Another source divulged, "King Charles, the father of Harry and William, desires for the two feuding brothers to reconcile swiftly and is actively working to ease tensions between the future king and the Duke, who relinquished his senior royal duties in 2020 and relocated to the US with his family."
Royal experts and historians have urged Harry and William to set aside their differences during this challenging time and present a united front to the world.
As the heir to the throne, William is expected to assume a more prominent role in public appearances and official duties amid the royal family's health crisis.
