PRINCE Harry has broken his silence on the King’s cancer diagnosis in a bombshell TV interview with Good Morning America.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex travelled to Canada this week, marking one year to go until the 2025 Invictus Games – which Harry founded in 2014 – in Whistler, British Columbia.

And on Friday, Harry spoke to Good Morning America’s Will Reeve to discuss the Invictus Games as well as his father’s diagnosis.

Speaking with the US show, Prince Harry claimed he was “grateful” for the opportunity to spend time with his father and hoped the King’s diagnosis will “bring the family together”.

Body language expert, Judi James, claimed Harry did “diminishing gestures” such as an “eye shutter” with an “accelerated blink rate”, and it conveyed he was feeling “uncomfortable.”

  • Opinions divided as Harry and Meghan use royal titles for latest rebrand

    Angela Levin told The Sun: “They did this sort of thing before when they went ahead with their Oprah interview while Prince Philip was dying in hospital. 

    “I don’t think it’s a coincidence. It’s their way of trying to crush the royal family down. Of course this is going to trigger more stress for Charles and William.”
