00:00 Prince Harry is making his return home.
00:03 Three months after he visited his father, King Charles III, in February following his cancer diagnosis,
00:10 the 39-year-old is set to appear at the 10th anniversary celebration of the Invictus Games Foundation in London.
00:18 According to the foundation's social media accounts,
00:21 Harry will attend a special "service of thanksgiving" at St. Paul's Cathedral on May 8th,
00:28 commemorating a decade of the Games' changing lives.
00:32 The event will mark Harry's first trip back to the United Kingdom
00:36 since he went to visit his father, King Charles III, in February.
00:40 That moment marked a significant one for the family,
00:43 as Harry has attended few events with his family since stepping back from royal duties in 2020
00:49 and moving to California with his wife, Meghan Markle, and two kids, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
00:56 After visiting his father, the 39-year-old opened up in an interview
01:01 about what it was like visiting the king amid his health journey.
01:05 How did you get the news that the king was ill?
01:07 I spoke to him.
01:09 And what did you do next?
01:10 I jumped on a plane and went to go see him as soon as I could.
01:14 How was that visit for you emotionally?
01:17 Look, I love my family.
01:18 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.
01:24 What's sort of your outlook on his health?
01:27 That stays between me and him.
01:29 An illness in the family can have a galvanizing or sort of reunifying effect for a family.
01:34 Is that possible in this case?
01:35 Yeah, I'm sure.
01:36 I mean, throughout all these families, I see it on a day-to-day basis.
01:41 You know, again, the strength of the family unit coming together.
01:45 Buckingham Palace previously said Charles' cancer was discovered
01:49 after the 75-year-old underwent treatment for an enlarged prostate.
01:54 Though he'd taken a step back from public duties in the months following his diagnosis in order to receive treatment,
02:00 the palace announced April 26th that Charles would soon return to more public-facing duties,
02:06 beginning with a visit to a cancer treatment center April 30th, accompanied by his wife, Queen Camilla.
