Prince Harry spotted heading home to Meghan Markle after brief visit with cancer-stricken King Charles

Prince Harry was spotted dashing home to Meghan Markle on Thursday after he traveled alone to visit his cancer-stricken father, King Charles, according to photos obtained by The Post.

The Duke of Sussex, who undertook the trip without Markle, 42, was seen entering London’s Heathrow airport donning blue jeans, a basic white t-shirt and a black jacket.

The estranged royal, 39, arrived in the UK around 2 p.m. local time and proceeded to meet with His Majesty, 75, for only 45 minutes before returning to the London hotel where he was reportedly staying.

According to former royal butler Grant Harrold, Markle’s decision not to tag along with her husband was two-fold: She felt that this was something he needed to do and she was able to stay with their two kids.

“Meghan made the decision that it was best to stay home with the children, and maybe she feels that this is something Harry has got to do alone,” Harrold told The Post. “It’s his father. She’s aware of the close relationship and probably encouraged him to come over.”

The former staffer did note that Markle and the children, Archie and Lilibet, may “come over at a later date.”

“I’m sure at some point they will bring the grandchildren over, that might be part of what’s being discussed — an opportunity for them to come over as a family,” Harrold said.

It was also reported that Prince Harry never even saw his brother, Prince William, during his visit.

A source told The Post that the Prince of Wales, 41, has “no plans” to see Harry due to him also returning to work on Wednesday.

William has had to step up his royal duties in the past week after it was announced that his father had been diagnosed with an unspecified cancer.

The Prince has also been caring for his wife, Kate Middleton, who is recovering after undergoing an abdominal procedure.

Several sources reportedly told Page Six that Charles’ diagnosis might force the estranged brothers into a temporary true.

Neither Harry nor William have reportedly spoken to each other for over a year, despite both attending their father’s coronation in May 2023.

It was also reported that Charles hoped to reconcile with his wayward son during his time in England.

“[Charles] desperately wants to reconcile with Harry,” royal expert Katie Nicholl told “Entertainment Tonight” on Tuesday.

“His father personally telephoned him to inform him of his cancer diagnosis, [and] Harry jumped on the overnight flight from Los Angeles,” Nicholl noted. “The king would have been hugely relieved and comforted by the fact that Harry flew over.”

She added that the meeting was “probably quite difficult for both of them” insisting that the monarch had always left the door open for a possible reunion between the two.

Prior to Harry’s arrival, the monarch began his cancer treatment on Monday and is recovering at Clarence House.

Buckingham Palace released a statement on Feb. 5 detailing the king’s illness revealing that he was not suffering from prostate cancer.

“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,” they added.

Last month, Charles underwent a separate procedure for his enlarged prostate, and the disease was found.
