In February, while in Whistler, B.C., to scope out the location of the 2025 Invictus Games, where the field comprises military vets and active servicemen and women who were hurt while serving their countries, he spoke about families rising to the occasion when a loved one is injured or ill.
“Throughout all of these families, I see it on a day-to-day basis, again, the strength of the family unit coming together,” Harry told Good Morning America. “So, yeah, I think any illness, any sickness, brings families together. I see it time and time again, and that makes me very happy.”
Not coincidentally, he had just been in the U.K. visiting his father after Charles shared Feb. 5 that he’d been diagnosed with cancer.
“I jumped on a plane and went to go see him as soon as I could,” Harry said. “Look, I love my family. The fact that I was able to get on a plane and go and see him and spend any time with him, I’m grateful for that.”
