After reading all about this situation, I am amazed at the number of people who feel they have the right to speak for the people of the UK, the Commonwealth and, most outrageous of all, the BRF itself. On this forum I keep reading about how Harry must be kept at a distance, he can never be left alone with the King and how deeply untrustworthy he is and therefore not deserving of even seeing the King.
You will notice I say "the King" and not "his father". Tom bower was holding forth on the TV about how he must be absolutely unforgiven and in no doubt of his position, that of being excommunicated from the family. Why all this anxiety and downright hate?
King Charles is no fool, and those who seek to speak for him do him a great disservice and cover themselves an even greater disgraceful shame and arrogance. King Charles was released from hospital after a successful surgery for an enlarged prostrate. Even then, he and his lovely wife were aware there was potential for grave news depending on the tests undertaken at the time.
Upon receiving a diagnosis of 'Cancer' he did what most ordinary people do. He phoned his two sons, William and Harry, and his siblings, Anne, Andrew and Edward, to fill them in on the actual situation. I am sure he told them his first treatment was in a day or two as well. The point I am trying to make is that Harry being informed that his father has cancer, was told by is father, his Pa.
Whatever we may think about the situation, it is strictly under the immediate control by King Charles, and it was his choice to call Harry in California and his call to say yes you can come and see me. Even though I am sure the poor man was probably exhausted.
We don't know yet how the situation will play out, but one thing I am sure of is that this is strictly a family crisis, and it would be wise to accept that family rules behind the throne. They are all, including Harry, part of his support team that will keep him up and fighting with a positive attitude.
When my sister was diagnosed with cancer, we had a family meeting, and her Doctor and Medical team were emphatic that a positive attitude and supportive family is essential. There will be hard days ahead, but with his family behind him, and that includes Harry, I pray that he will come out the other side stronger and fighting fit, and, if we are really lucky, a healed family.
