SH0CK : Prince Harry shares King Charles health update following US return
Prince Harry has reportedly offered a reassuring update on King Charles III‘s health following his recent visit to the UK, with the Duke said to have told guests at a New York gala that the King is “doing great”.
The Duke of Sussex made a surprise solo appearance at the TIME100 Sports Gala in New York City on Thursday evening, just days after returning to the United States from Britain. According to reports, Harry was overheard speaking warmly about both his father and his children during conversations with guests at the event.
Harry’s comments have attracted particular attention because they come after a significant family visit to the UK earlier this month. While the Duke initially travelled to Britain alone for a series of engagements connected to the Invictus Games, he was later joined by his wife, Meghan Markle, and their two children, Prince Archie of Sussex and Princess Lilibet of Sussex, on July 10.
The Sussex family then visited Highgrove House, the King’s private residence in Gloucestershire, where they met with King Charles and Queen Camilla. The gathering was particularly meaningful because it marked the first reported time the King had seen Archie and Lilibet since 2022.
According to an insider quoted by Page Six, Harry was overheard telling attendees at the gala that the King is “doing great”. The reported remark is likely to reassure royal watchers, as it comes more than two years after King Charles publicly disclosed that he had been diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer.
Since announcing his diagnosis, the King has continued to carry out many of his royal duties while undergoing treatment, although his schedule has occasionally been adjusted. Buckingham Palace has provided periodic updates, but detailed information about his condition has remained private.
Harry’s reported comment therefore offers a rare informal glimpse into how the Duke views his father’s current health following their recent meeting.
The Duke was also said to have spoken proudly about his children during the gala. According to the same report, Harry told guests: “The kids are growing like weeds.”
The light-hearted remark reflected a more personal side of the evening, with Harry appearing relaxed as he discussed family life in California. The Sussexes are now understood to be back in the United States after their UK visit, and reports suggest they are “happy” to have returned home.
The reunion at Highgrove has also renewed speculation about the state of Harry’s relationship with the wider Royal Family. While relations have remained strained in recent years, the meeting with the King and Queen Camilla was seen by some observers as a positive sign.
However, there has been no official confirmation of any wider reconciliation, and it remains unclear whether Harry met with his brother, Prince William, during the visit.
For now, the most notable takeaway from Harry’s New York appearance is the reassuring message about his father’s wellbeing. At a time when public interest in the King’s health remains high, the Duke’s reported words — “doing great” — are likely to be welcomed by many royal supporters.
The appearance at the TIME100 Sports Gala also allowed Harry to return to the public stage in the US while continuing to highlight his connection to sport and charitable causes, following his recent work promoting the Invictus Games.
Although the Duke’s comments were reportedly made informally rather than as part of an official statement, they have nevertheless provided a rare and optimistic update after an important family reunion.
