Inside Prince Harry’s 26-hour flying visit to see Charles that lasted less than an hour
Prince Harry flew back home to California on Wednesday, completing a 26-hour turnaround having arrived in the UK after his father revealed his cancer diagnosis to his youngest son over the phone.
The long journey from the US took the Duke of Sussex more than 11 hours but his meeting with the King at Clarence House in London reportedly lasted less than an hour. Differing newspaper reports say the get-together was either just 30 or 45 minutes long.
There were hopes that the 39-year-old prince’s visit would help repair damaged relationships, and his brother the Prince of Wales. But any hopes of a reconciliation were dashed when Harry was spotted at Heathrow Airport on Wednesday afternoon.
