A royal expert told Daily Express US that there was a single, straightforward reason why King Charles and Prince Harry’s meeting was so short.
After Buckingham Palace revealed that King Charles had been diagnosed with cancer, the Duke of Sussex immediately returned to the UK; however, the Prince and his father had a brief 45-minute meeting.
King Charles had always “found it very difficult to show emotion,” according to royal expert Tom Quinn, who suggested that’s why the meeting was shortened.
Mr. Quinn asserted, “The meeting would have been quite cool and unfortunately quite formal,” in an interview with Daily Express US.
The King left for Sandringham after the meeting. After being spotted at London Heathrow, Prince Harry has now flown to the United States. The Duke of Sussex, according to royal experts, will probably return.
Professor of marketing and consumer research Pauline Maclaran, a royal author, told Daily Express US that she didn’t think the duration of his visit was unexpected.
“I’m not surprised that Harry has only paid us a fleeting visit,” she remarked. He would not have wanted to prolong the King’s illness by remaining around, but I believe he would have wanted to see his father in person to offer his support.
“He is also likely to want to get back to his family in the US.”
She continued: “I imagine he may make a longer visit in due course to allow the King to meet his grandchildren face-to-face.”

On Monday, the Palace announced that King Charles’s condition—which is not prostate cancer—was identified during his hospital stay for treatment of an enlarged prostate.
The King has begun a regimen of routine medical care, but he has been counseled to put off his public engagements.
