Prince Harry found out his father, King Charles III, was hospitalized at the same time the rest of the world did.
The Sun's royal editor, Matt Wilkinson, appeared on the latest episode of A Right Royal Podcast on iHeartRadio, revealing that Buckingham Palace didn't call the Duke of Sussex to let him know his father was hospitalized due to the effects of his cancer treatment, and that he found out "through the news."
"Not by Buckingham Palace ringing him or his team up to explain. My understanding is that they didn’t want to add to the drama. They didn’t want to make it seem like it was more serious than it was. Whereas when [Charles was diagnosed], they told Harry before, and Harry flew back [to England.]"
King Charles was hospitalized last month as a result of his cancer treatment and was released a few days later after having to postpone a handful of engagements, per Page Six.
"Following scheduled and ongoing medical treatment for cancer this morning, The King experienced temporary side effects that required a short period of observation in the hospital. His Majesty would like to send his apologies to all those who may be inconvenienced or disappointed as a result," Buckingham Palace said in a statement following the beloved monarch's unexpected hospital stay.
