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 “loves 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.”
Harry revealed he “jumped on a plane” soon after speaking to his father on the phone.
“I went to go and see him as soon as I could.”
When asked for “his outlook” on his father’s health, Harry said that information “stays between me and him.”
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.
Elsewhere, Harry was asked about life in sunny California, and how it felt to be 5,459 miles away from his family when he found out the news about HIs Majesty’s diagnosis.
“I have my own family. As we all do,” he said. “So my family, and my life in California, is as it is. I’ve got other trips planned that would take me through or back to the UK so I’ll stop and see my family as much as I can.”
Harry, who shares son Prince Archie and daughter Princess Lilibet with wife Meghan Markle, says his kids are doing “great.”
“The kids are doing great,” he said. “The kids are growing up like all kids do incredibly fast. They’ve got an incredible sense of humor and make us laugh and keep us grounded every single day like most kids do.”
“I’m just very grateful to be a dad,” he added.
Harry has been loving life in California so much so, that he’s even considered making it official by getting a citizenship.
“Would you think about becoming a citizen?” he was asked, to which he responded, “I have considered it, yeah.”
When asked what’s stopping him, Harry said, “I have no idea. I’m here doing this… The thought has crossed my mind but not a high priority right now.”
The Sussexes 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.
“The mission continues,” Harry said of the Games. “Every element of the work continues and before you know it, this time next year, we’ll be right here doing all this again…and we’re going to have the whole of Whistler and hopefully the whole of Canada screaming these guys on for an epic Games.”
“I’ve always had a life of service. And I…
