Prince Harry says he has considered becoming an American citizen

Charles was diagnosed with a so-far unspecified form of cancer, which was detected by doctors when he went to a private hospital in London for a routine procedure to treat an enlarged prostate.

The news of his illness came eight months after Charles was crowned in Westminster Abbey, following the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, in 2022.

Harry has had a famously strained relationship with his father and his elder brother, Prince William, for several years. He flew back to Britain earlier this month to briefly visit the king after his diagnosis, but there have been no reports of a reconciliation with William, the heir to the throne.

Asked whether he found it hard to be away from his family in London, Harry said he would see them as much as he could but added: “I have my own family.”

The royal family was the source of pointed criticism in Harry’s best-selling book, “Spare,” last year.

The British media has long obsessed over Meghan and the couple’s decision to quit as front-line royals and move to the U.S. Harry’s determination to tame the tabloid press has left him at odds with his family.

Harry, 39, has been promoting the Invictus Games, which he founded for wounded, injured or sick service personnel and veterans after he served in Afghanistan.

He was in Whistler to visit the site for next year’s event.
