Whistler - Since it became known that he had cancer, King Charles (75) has devoted himself to his recovery and has largely withdrawn from the public.
Prince Harry (39) has now given his first interview after the shock diagnosis.
In it he also talked about his father's illness.
At the “One Year to Go” event of the “Winter Invictus Games,” of which he is a co-initiator, he gave an interview for “Good Morning America.”

He then visited him as quickly as possible, although this visit is said to have only lasted twelve minutes, as has since become known.
Harry was still grateful for it in the interview.
“I love my family,” emphasized the father of two children and expressed optimism that the illness could strengthen cohesion again.
When Will Reeves asked how he was coping with being in California with so much going on with his family in England, Harry replied: “I have my own family, like we all do.
My family and my life in California are what they are.”
Prince Harry plans to visit King Charles as often as possible during his travels
But he has planned further trips that would also take him through the United Kingdom and where he will visit his family as often as possible.
With this statement, Harry sent a clear signal that Meghan and his children will continue to be his top priority, even despite his father's cancer.
Doesn't sound like he might be returning to London for a long period of time to support his father.
