Inside Prince Harry's increasingly isolated and desperate LA life
As the country has been left reeling after the news of the King’s cancer diagnosis, there was a (very) faint glimmer of hope on the horizon: namely, that there could be a thawing of relations between Charles and his youngest son.
As soon as the news broke, the Duke of Sussex was seen hopping on the first plane out of LAX, rushing to be by his father’s side. Could this suggest there might finally be a reconciliation of sorts between Harry and his dear Pa? Alas, any hopes of that were swiftly dashed. Because while some noted that the gesture was appreciated by the King, other sources told Charles’s biographer Robert Jobson that Harry actually caused “some disquiet by ‘taking it upon himself’ to fly over unbidden”.
Whether he was summoned or not, the fact remains that Harry flew the 10,000-mile round trip for a mere 30-minute reunion with his father. The Duke looked thoughtful as he pulled through the gates of Clarence House just before 2.45pm on Tuesday, before re-emerging almost unnoticed at 3.31pm.â¯There he was driven, without a police escort, down the Mall, before disappearing into the traffic. The meeting was the first time the Duke has seen his father in person since the King’s coronation last May, and, flying back to be reunited with Meghan and their children in Montecito.
