Prince Harry interview – live: King in first public outing since Harry visit as ‘zero per cent chance’ of return

The famed guitarist has been undergoing treatment for stage 4 prostate cancer since his diagnosis was announced in November 2022. Here, in a moving and heartfelt letter, Andy Taylor reflects on the extraordinary impact the announcement from Buckingham Palace has had on him and how it connects to his own experience:

The royal line of succession has decided who will be the next king or queen of Great Britain for hundreds of years, and now with a new generation of royals, there is a long list of people who could be our next monarch.

So, from Prince William to Princess Eugenie and everyone in between, here is everyone who is closest in line for the British throne:

In his latest bombshell interview with a US news outlet – this time, ‘Good Morning America’ – Prince Harry reminded us of his gratitude, and how the King’s cancer battle can bring his family together. I’ll believe it when I see it, says Paul Clements

Prince William has been said to not “have the bandwidth” with stories linking his brother Prince Harry with a shock return to the royal family.

A royal source told the Express: “There’s no way that the Prince of Wales will wear it. Harry may well want to step back into a royal role but as far as his brother is concerned nothing has changed.

“Prince William has enough on his plate at the moment. His father is being treated for cancer and his wife is recovering from abdominal surgery. He simply doesn’t have the bandwidth for this.”

It came after a bombshell interview, aired on Good Morning America, where it was suggested the family illness could have a “re-unifying effect”, and when Harry was asked “is that possible in this case?” he replied: “Yeah, I’m sure.”

Prince William is set to appear at the Baftas later tonight without his wife Kate Middleton as she recovers from her own treatment.

The King smiled and waved as he attended church with the Queen on Sunday morning.

Smiling and waving as he walked alongside Camilla King Charles arrived at St Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham, Norfolk on Sunday morning.

The King was seen wearing a brown coat and waving to the public before being greeted by the Rev Canon Dr Paul Williams.

Charles is staying at Sandringham following his first bout of cancer treatment.

The 75-year-old King was seen in public for the first time since Harry suggested in an interview with a US breakfast TV show that his father’s illness could lead to a reconciliation between them.

Harry also said “I love my family” and that he was “grateful” to be able to spend time with his father when he flew back to the UK following Charles’s cancer diagnosis.

The duke’s whirlwind visit to see his father for around 45 minutes prompted speculation the two men, estranged since the duke stepped down as a working royal, may be on the point of rebuilding their relationship.

In the interview, aired on Good Morning America, it was suggested a family illness could have a “re-unifying effect”, and when Harry was asked “is that possible in this case?” he replied: “Yeah, I’m sure.”

In the decades spent waiting to ascend to the throne, King Charles has always ensured he maintained a strict diet and rigid daily exercise routine.

Buckingham Palace aides have insisted that there is “zero per cent chance” that Prince Harry will walk in to help out the new slimmed down monarchy as King Charles undergoes cancer treatment.

Palace sources have told The Sunday Telegraph that there is “no way back” for Harry, who said in a US interview this week that he thought the King’s illness was a chance to unify his family.

It’s thought that the terms of the Sandringham Summit, which detailed Harry and Meghan’s exit from the working royal family, still stand which rules out a “half in, half out” approach to the monarchy.

Reports yesterday suggested the Duke of Sussex had told pals he would consider a temporary return to the firm.

Prince William has reportedly told friends that he thinks it would be a “bad idea” for his brother Harry to return and take up a role in the wake of their father’s cancer diagnosis.

A royal source told OK! Magazine William has made it “absolutely and categorically clear that he would not allow Harry to return. He thought it was a bad idea at the time and he’s even more clear now”.

The insider said whatever is being discussed by the two senior royals is private, before adding: “If anyone is going to take on more duties it will be William and that isn’t even on the agenda for now.

“His main focus is on his father’s health, his family and what is best for the monarchy. There is a zero per cent chance Harry is coming back in any capacity.”

It comes after friends of the duke told a newspaper that he would be willing to step in and play a role while his father receives cancer treatment.

A royal source told The Times that Charles, 75, was keen to reconcile and see more of his son, adding: “On all practical levels it makes perfect sense for the family to come together to support the King while he’s sick.”
