Prince Harry has ‘no plans’ to reunite with Prince William during UK visit after King Charles’ cancer diagnosis

Prince Harry won’t catch up with his estranged brother, Prince William, during his time back home in England.
A source confirmed to The Post on Monday that the two will not be seeing each other while the Duke of Sussex, 39, is in town to visit his father, King Charles.
It was announced earlier this week that the monarch, 75, was diagnosed with cancer.
The insider added that the Prince of Wales, 41, has “no plans” to see Harry due to him also returning to work on Wednesday.
William has been caring for his wife Kate Middleton as she recovers from her abdominal surgery.
The Duke of Cambridge will attend the London Air Ambulance annual fundraising gala tomorrow evening.
Harry flew out to the United Kingdom from his home in Montecito, California, without wife Meghan Markle to visit his father.
The couple planned to travel to Canada later this month for the Invictus Games. However, it is still being determined if those plans are still intact.
Former royal butler Grant Harrold told The Post why the 42-year-old former actress should stay on the West Coast.
“Meghan made the decision that it was best to stay home with the children, and maybe she feels that this is something Harry has got to do alone,” he said.
He continued: “It’s his father. She’s aware of the close relationship and probably encouraged him to come over.”
Harrold also noted that Markle may “come over at a later date” — even with her kids Archie and Lilibet.
“I’m sure at some point they will bring the grandchildren over, that might be part of what’s being discussed — an opportunity for them to come over as a family,” Harrold said.
Different sources also told Page Six that Charles’ diagnosis could force William and Harry to have an uneasy truce.
The brothers have not spoken to each other for over a year — despite crossing paths at their dad’s coronation last May.
“Is this the point where Harry gets to swoop in and be magnanimous and reach out to William?” the insider wondered.
Charles began his cancer treatment on Monday and is recovering at Clarence House. Harry was spotted arriving at the royal abode on Tuesday.
Buckingham Palace released a statement on Feb. 5 detailing Charles’ illness, saying that it is not prostate cancer.
Last month, Charles underwent a separate procedure for his enlarged prostate, and the disease was found.
“During the king’s recent hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement, a separate issue of concern was noted,” the palace said in a statement. “Subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer.”
“His Majesty has today commenced a schedule of regular treatments, during which time he has been advised by doctors to postpone public-facing duties.”
“Throughout this period, His Majesty will continue to undertake State business and official paperwork as usual,” they added.
