Following Buckingham Palace's announcement on February 5 revealing the Monarch's cancer diagnosis, Prince Harry extended a helping hand to his father, King Charles, driven by a sense of apprehension and concern.
The Duke of Sussex, upon receiving the distressing news directly from the King, promptly visited Charles at Clarence House in London on February 6.
In a recent candid interview conducted in Canada, Harry reflected on the unifying impact of familial challenges, acknowledging the significance of difficult times within the family dynamic.
Royal expert and author Tom Quinn shed light on Harry's underlying emotions, revealing that the Duke was visibly shocked and deeply affected upon learning of his father's illness. Quinn noted Harry's childhood loss of his mother at the age of 12, which led him to presume that his father would enjoy the same longevity as the late Queen and Prince Philip.
Despite Harry's past disclosures in his memoir "Spare" and various television interviews, Quinn suggests that beneath the facade of assertiveness lies a vulnerable aspect of Harry—a "lost little boy" grappling with the news of his father's illness.
Quinn further elaborated that while Harry was eager to offer practical assistance, he was aware that his offer might be met with rejection, yet he felt compelled to extend his support nonetheless.
