Royal family news – live: King in first public appearance since Harry's visit as 'zero chance' of prince returning

Prince William said he was “honoured to attend” last night's Bafatas as he posted a stunning highlight video from the night.

On Sunday, the Prince of Wales took a front row seat at the Bafta film awards ceremony in his first high-profile royal engagement since his wife's operation.

Prince Harry has said living in America is “amazing – I love it every day” but stopped short of pledging allegiance to the star-spangled banner in a revealing interview.

The duke spoke to Good Morning America reporter Will Reeve about King Charles' shocking cancer diagnosis, his family life and his thoughts on becoming an American citizen.

When asked 'do you feel American', the duke said: “Do I feel American? No. I don't know how I feel.

When asked if he would consider becoming a US citizen, Harry added: “I have considered it, yes.”

Asked what would stop him from doing so, the duke said: “I have no idea. I'm standing here next to it with these guys. “U.S. citizenship is a thought that has crossed my mind, but it is certainly not something that is a high priority for me right now.”

Buckingham Palace has not provided details about Charles' cancer and Harry refused to divulge any information when asked about his “perspective” on the King's health in an interview on Friday.

But he did say he would visit his father in the future: “I have other trips planned that would take me through the UK or back to the UK, so I will stop by and see my family as much as I can. can.”

Harry, 39, flew in from the US to spend time with his dad following his cancer diagnosis, but it appears the couple didn't spend much quality time together.

There was no meeting between the duke and his brother, the Prince of Wales, last Tuesday after Harry spent 30 minutes with Charles at Clarence House.

Royal aides reportedly stopped the Duke of Sussex from meeting his father at Sandringham because they feared they would “never get rid of him.”

“Harry came to see his father, hoping to go to Sandringham. But instead he was asked to be at Clarence House and was limited to 30 minutes,” a source said. Sun.

Buckingham Palace advisers have insisted there is “zero per cent chance” of Prince Harry stepping in to help the new, slimmed-down monarchy while King Charles undergoes cancer treatment.

Palace sources have reported The Sunday Telegraph that “there is no turning back” for Harry, who said in an interview in the United States this week that he thought the King's illness was an opportunity to unify his family.

The terms of the Sandringham Summit, which detailed Harry and Meghan's departure from the working royal family, are believed to remain in place, ruling out a “half in, half out” approach to the monarchy.

Reports on Saturday suggested that the Duke of Sussex had told friends he would consider a temporary return to the company.

The Prince of Wales has said he has a list of films to watch after attending the Baftas, praising the strength and diversity of the competition within each category.

The prince apologized for Kate's absence in a brief meeting before the ceremony, saying he loves the Bafta film awards.

William reiterated the strength of the competition when speaking to the director and two producers of Earth Mama, which won best debut by a British writer, director or producer.

She told the three women: “The competition in all categories was very strong this year.”

“And what's also wonderful is that there was diversity in many areas,” William added.

The Princess Royal was shown a knife amnesty bin while visiting a group working to combat stabbings in Wellingborough.

Anne met volunteers from Off the Streets North Northamptonshire (NN) and heard from those affected by knife crime during a visit to the market town's Hind Hotel.

Off the Streets NN co-founder Ravaun Jones demonstrated a bleeding control kit and knife amnesty container to Anne.

Anne, dressed in a tweed jacket, said it was “nice” to see bleeding control kits “becoming more available”.

Off the Streets NN has placed 203 purge kits across Northamptonshire, four of which have been used to save lives in emergency situations.

Prince Harry and his father are said to have had several “warm exchanges” since the king's illness was diagnosed, The Times claimed.

A royal source also told the newspaper that Charles, 75, wants to reconcile and see more of his son, and believes doing so would benefit the monarchy.

The source told The Times: “On all practical levels it makes perfect sense for the family to come together to support the King while he is ill.

“Much has been said on both sides in recent years, but that has never diminished the fundamental blood bond, and there are now pragmatic aspects to consider, with the welfare of the King and Kate being paramount in this.

“Details of the Clarence House meeting and subsequent conversations are private, but the feeling is that this deal could work.”

The Duke of Sussex will reportedly not be allowed a temporary royal role while his father undergoes cancer treatment.

It was alleged that Harry told his friends that he would take on that role while Charles was unwell.

However, the deal he agreed to when he stepped down as a royal alongside his wife, the Duchess of Sussex in 2020, will reportedly remain in place.

A source told The Telegraph: “Those terms were quite clear and the King's illness has not altered that.”

Another told the newspaper that the view that a hybrid model of being a working royal was not appropriate still “remains that way.”

The Prince of Wales has announced plans to build homes on land in the Duchy of Cornwall to tackle homelessness in the south west of England.

The Duchy of Cornwall is a portfolio of land, property and investments valued at more than £1 billion, providing income to the heir to the throne.

In partnership with Cornish homeless charity St Petrocs, the project will provide 24 homes in Nansledan, Newquay, with “wraparound support” for local homeless people to create a pathway to a permanent home.

The development of “high-quality temporary accommodation that feels like home” will begin in September and the first homes are expected to be completed in the autumn of next year, according to a statement from the estate.

The Prince of Wales has shared a behind-the-scenes video from his night at the Baftas.
