Prince Harry breaks silence on King Charles’ cancer diagnosis during ‘GMA’ interview

Prince Harry broke his silence Friday over his estranged father King Charles’ cancer diagnosis.

In an interview with “Good Morning America,” the Duke of Sussex said he “loved his family” and is “grateful” that he was able to visit his ailing father.

“Look I love my family,” the father of two, 39, told host Will Reeve Friday. “The fact that I was able to get on a plane and go and see him and spend any time with him, I’m grateful for that.”

When asked if his father’s diagnosis could have a “reunifying effect” on his family, Harry said, “Absolutely. Yeah, I’m sure.”

“Throughout all these [Invictus] families I see it on a day-to-day basis the strength of the family unit coming together. I think any illness, any sickness brings families together,” he added.

Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, are currently in Canada, where they spent Valentine’s Day together earlier this week at the Invictus Games 2025’s Winter Training Camp.

The pair were seen braving the freezing temperatures in Whistler, as Harry even tried his hand at an array of winter sports including skeleton sledding.

Their Canadian getaway is being filmed by a “GMA” camera crew, who are reportedly working on an Invictus Games-related segment.

On Wednesday, Reeve joined the Sussexes on their snowy adventures as he chatted to the Duke about “his life today with Meghan, how his father is doing, and on his passion supporting wounded warriors,” the show said in a teaser.

Harry’s interview comes just days after his ailing father returned to London to undergo more cancer treatment.

The monarch, 75, revealed his cancer diagnosis on Feb. 5 and has since begun outpatient treatment.

Over the weekend, Charles broke his silence over the shocking diagnosis, thanking the public for the support he’s received since the news came to light.

Charles said that such thoughts are “the greatest comfort and encouragement.”

“It is equally heartening to hear how sharing my own diagnosis has helped promote public understanding and shine a light on the work of all those organizations which support cancer patients and their families across the UK and wider world,” he said in a statement.

“My lifelong admiration for their tireless care and dedication is all the greater as a result of my own personal experience.”

The Palace revealed Charles’ diagnosis after he underwent a procedure for an enlarged prostate and doctors discovered “a separate issue of concern” that requires treatment.

Buckingham Palace later clarified that the cancer was not prostate cancer.

The King’s diagnosis prompted Harry to haul an urgent flight out of LAX to London last week, which saw him on home soil for just 24 hours.

The Duke reportedly stayed at a hotel during his London trip, rather than staying with his family at any one of their royal residences peppered across the country.

It’s reported that he only spoke to his dad for a mere 45 minutes before catching a flight back home to Montecito, Calif., to be reunited with Markle and their two children.
