"The fact that I was able to get on a plane and go and see him and spend any time with him, I'm grateful for that."

Harry added that an illness can bring a family together.

He said: "Throughout all these families I see it on a day-to-day basis, again, the strength of the family unit coming together. I think any illness, any sickness brings families together."

It comes as a royal insider claimed Harry is concerned about King Charles and Princess Kate's health amid the fresh royal storm surrounding the Sussex titles.

On Monday, the couple launched a major rebrand under their Sussex titles and received backlash from some sources close to the monarchy.

However, a royal insider told The Times regarding the reaction to the rebrand: "It isn’t any sort of problem for the rest of the Royal Family.

"It hasn’t even been part of a conversation. Harry is more concerned about the health and wellbeing of the King and Kate and thinks that is where the focus should be."
