When Prince Harry touched down in the UK to see his father King Charles, it gave birth to a lot of speculations. One of them, of course, was that Charles’ cancer diagnosis was a bit more serious than we would like it to be.

The other was that Harry couldn’t help putting himself back in the spotlight, and even the King’s health news wasn’t enough to deter him.
Of course, the first theory appeared a bit shaky when you consider that William was out doing investitures two days after Buckingham Palace announced the news.
There was also the little fact that Harry only had a 30-minute audience with the King and was on his way to California, where he presented an award at the NFL the very next day.
Prince William’s Friend Calls Harry’s Visit To the UK A Self-centered Maneuver
After a book, a docuseries and several interviews lashing out at his father and his upbringing, you can’t blame people for thinking the worse of Harry.

A Prince William source reportedly spoke to the Daily Beast about Harry’s visit, saying, “The king announcing he had cancer was totally unprecedented and incredibly brave—but suddenly the focus was on what Harry was doing.
He seems to have this knack of making it all about him. Some people think it’s a bit late to cast himself as the dutiful, concerned son after all the unforgivable things he said about his father, and brother, and their wives in his book.”
However, not everyone saw Harry’s visit in that negative light as a former courtier believes Harry made the right move with his visit. “I don’t think it’s fair to blame Harry for coming over. Charles could have easily suggested a later date. Overall, I think the situation has turned out pretty well for everyone.
Getting those two in a room together for half an hour is actually a remarkable achievement, and it sends all the right messages of forgiveness and reconciliation without rolling out the red carpet. If William wants to carry on being bad cop forever, that’s up to him.”
