Prince Harry has arrived at Clarence House to see his father – a day after the King’s cancer diagnosis was revealed.
The Duke of Sussex flew in from LAX in California, where he has lived since 2020, and landed at Heathrow Airport in London on a British Airways flight on Tuesday afternoon.
He was photographed on Monday afternoon being driven into Clarence House, where the King is recovering after receiving treatment.

Shortly after, the King and Queen were seen for the first time since his diagnosis was announced.
The royal couple returned to Buckingham Palace and are thought to have left by helicopter for Sandringham.
Traffic was briefly stopped on The Mall outside Clarence House just after 3.30pm and two black SUV vehicles were driven out.
The cancer was found after the King underwent treatment for an enlarged prostate – although Buckingham Palace said he does not have prostate cancer.
