The relationship between Charles and his son had been tense for several years. After Harry and Meghan turned their backs on the British royal family in January 2020, their relationship with the rest of the royal family increasingly broke down. The couple, who live in the United States, made violent accusations, among other things, in a frank interview with American talk show host Oprah Winfrey and in a Netflix documentary called “Harry and Meghan.” Harry also harshly criticized the royal family in his memoir, “The Reserve.”

Meanwhile, there were always hopes of a reconciliation between Harry and his father. As reported by several British media outlets, he is said to have congratulated Charles on his 75th birthday last year and sent him videos of his two children, Archie and Lilibet. It remains to be seen whether the King's diagnosis will bring the family closer together.
