King Charles called Prince Harry personally to inform him of his cancer diagnosis, the BBC reports.
The BBC was told the King made several phone calls in the moments after his diagnosis including to his estranged son, who is now believed to be travelling to the UK.
The King also personally told his other son Prince William and his siblings Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward.

Prince Harry and his wife, the Duchess of Sussex Meghan, moved to the US in 2020 after stepping away from royal duties.
The relationship between the couple and the senior royals has been distant at best in the years since, especially after the release of the couple’s Netflix documentary which aired allegations of racism within the royal family.
Prince Harry’s last public appearance with his father was at the King’s coronation.
