Though she acknowledged Harry and Charles “have not had the tightest relationship in recent times,” E! News has learned that Harry is expected to visit his father.

Buckingham Palace announced the king’s cancer diagnosis on Feb. 5., days after he underwent a procedure for an enlarged prostate.
“During The King’s recent hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement, a separate issue of concern was noted,” the Palace said in a statement. “Subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer. His Majesty has today commenced a schedule of regular treatments, during which time he has been advised by doctors to postpone public-facing duties. Throughout this period, His Majesty will continue to undertake State business and official paperwork as usual.”

“He remains wholly positive about his treatment,” the statement added, “and looks forward to returning to full public duty as soon as possible.”
