Prince Harry is reportedly rushing to make travel plans to fly to the U.K. to visit King Charles after his father's unexpected cancer diagnosis.
The 39-year-old royal is currently living in Montecito, Calif., with his wife, Meghan Markle, and his two children — Archie, 4, and Lilibet, 2. It has not been confirmed whether Meghan and the children will accompany him on the trip.
As OK! previously reported, Buckingham Palace confirmed on Monday, February 5, that he'd been diagnosed with cancer after undergoing a procedure for a benign enlarged prostate at the London Clinic. It has not been specified what type of cancer was discovered.
"His Majesty has today commenced a schedule of regular treatments, during which time he has been advised by doctors to postpone public-facing duties," the palace's statement read. "Throughout this period, His Majesty will continue to undertake State business and official paperwork as usual."
"The King is grateful to his medical team for their swift intervention, which was made possible thanks to his recent hospital procedure," the statement continued. "He remains wholly positive about his treatment and looks forward to returning to full public duty as soon as possible."
"His Majesty has chosen to share his diagnosis to prevent speculation and in the hope it may assist public understanding for all those around the world who are affected by cancer," the message concluded.
Charles reportedly gave the news of his closest family members in the U.K. in person, while it's likely Prince Harry received a phone call.
