The Duke of Sussex reportedly learned of King Charles III's cancer diagnosis from news reports, highlighting his ongoing estrangement from the royal family.
Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, is reportedly experiencing heightened feelings of loneliness after discovering King Charles III's battle with cancer through media reports, rather than direct communication with the royal family.
Sources indicate that Harry has had limited contact with his father in recent months, contributing to a growing sense of isolation for the Duke, who now resides in Montecito, California.
Significantly, Harry and Prince Seeiso of Lesotho recently stepped down as patrons of their charity Sentebale, an organization dedicated to supporting children in southern Africa, amid reports of 'unthinkable' infighting among the charity's board members.
Harry's relationship with his brother,
Prince William, remains strained, and he celebrated his 40th birthday last year without any participation from other royal family members.
This estrangement marks a pronounced shift in Harry's standing within the family, considering he was once regarded as one of the most popular members of the British royal family.
Despite his personal challenges, Harry's wife, Meghan Markle, continues to pursue her media projects, having announced a new podcast titled 'Confessions of a Female Founder' and revealed plans for her latest series on Netflix, set to premiere on April 8.
Insiders portray a stark contrast between Meghan's professional pursuits and Harry's social life, suggesting that the Duke feels increasingly sidelined in his own marriage and social circles.
Friends reportedly consist mainly of the spouses of Meghan’s friends, leaving him longing for connections with his family.
King Charles has been undergoing treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer for over a year, a situation that has coincided with Harry's intensified feelings of isolation following his relocation to the United States.
During Harry's last visit to the UK in May of the previous year, aimed at promoting the Invictus Games, scheduling constraints prevented him from meeting with his father.
Overall, these developments underscore the ongoing complexities within the royal family and the personal challenges faced by Prince Harry amid significant health concerns for King Charles.
