Palace wanted to 'get rid of' Prince Harry during UK visit to King Charles

Prince Harry was deliberately told not to meet King Charles in Sandringham.

The Duke of Sussex, who recently visited Clarence House to meet his father undergoing cancer treatment, was invited inside for only 30 minutes.

According to The Sun, the Palace specifically planned the meeting in order to avoid having Harry at Sandringham, where the King later went.

They said: “The fear was that if he went to Sandringham they would never get rid of him,” the source claimed.

This comes as Buckingham Palace announced King Charles' diagnosis after his prostrate surgery.

The statement read: "During The King’s recent hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement, a separate issue of concern was noted. 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.

The statement continued: "The King is grateful to his medical team for their swift intervention, which was made possible thanks to his recent hospital procedure. He remains wholly positive about his treatment and looks forward to returning to full public duty as soon as possible.

"His Majesty has chosen to share his diagnosis to prevent speculation and in the hope it may assist public understanding for all those around the world who are affected by cancer," noted the statement.
