King Charles decided to meet Prince Harry for a short period of time, limiting their interaction to just 30 minutes to prevent any potential stress, as suggested by a royal expert.
The meeting between the King and his son took place after Prince Harry hastily traveled from California to the UK last week, according to reports from the Sun.
Writer and broadcaster Robert Jobson explained that a longer meeting might have led to discussions on divisive topics, which could have escalated the situation.
Jobson emphasized the importance of maintaining a calm environment for the King, who is currently undergoing treatment for cancer.
He highlighted the need to avoid raising any issues that could elevate blood pressure levels during their brief encounter.
After the initial exchange of affection and well-wishes, Charles departed for Sandringham following his meeting with Harry.
However, there are speculations that the monarch might consider moving to Wood Farm for a more tranquil setting to aid in his recovery, similar to where Prince Philip spent his retirement days.
Expressing his gratitude, Charles thanked the public in his first statement following the diagnosis, acknowledging the support received.
The King flew from Buckingham Palace to Sandringham after the meeting with Harry, while the Prince returned to his family after a short 26-hour visit to London.
The news of King Charles’ cancer diagnosis surfaced after his hospital stay for treatment related to an enlarged prostate.
Further outpatient treatment for cancer is anticipated in the upcoming month for the King.
In light of Harry’s recent portrayal of Queen Camilla in his memoir, Jobson theorized that this depiction could have influenced the brevity of the meeting between Harry and the King.
He noted the strained relationship and lack of communication between father and son in recent times, adding complexity to their interactions.
Acknowledging the public support as a source of comfort, Charles expressed his appreciation for the outpouring of well-wishes and highlighted the awareness brought to cancer charities through his disclosure.
As part of his recovery process, Charles is expected to spend time at various locations including Windsor Castle, Highgrove, and Sandringham, seeking solace and relaxation amidst his health challenges.
