Prince Harry labeled 'hypocrite' for saying 'I love my family' as he opens up on King Charles' diagnosis

MONTECITO, CALIFORNIA: Prince Harry opened up about his father, King Charles III's cancer diagnosis, as he talked about his trip to England to visit his ailing father.

He reflected on his father's health condition having a potential impact on their family dynamics as he said, "I love my family" during an interview with 'Good Morning America.'

Prince Harry is 'grateful' to his family for the opportunity to visit King Charles

The Duke of Sussex expressed gratitude to his family for the opportunity to visit his father.

"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," he said.

He went on to assert the possibility of the family getting closer together following King Charles' cancer diagnosis as he said, "Absolutely. Yeah, I’m sure."

King Charles' cancer diagnosis

The 75-year-old British monarch returned to London to undergo further cancer treatment.

On February 5, King Charles revealed his diagnosis and recently released a statement expressing gratitude for the support he has received. 

King Charles underwent a procedure for an enlarged prostate and the palace disclosed that doctors identified "a separate issue of concern" requiring treatment during the procedure.

The palace also clarified that the cancer was not prostate cancer. Upon learning of his father's diagnosis, Prince Harry took an urgent flight to London to meet the monarch and spend just a day in the UK before he returned to his wife Meghan Markle and their children residing in Montecito, California.

Speaking about the state of how the 39-year-old father of two has handled the news of his father's cancer diagnosis, royal expert Katie Nicholl said, "His father personally telephoned him to inform him of his cancer diagnosis, [and] Harry jumped on the overnight flight from Los Angeles."

She added that Harry "came straight to Clarence House for what we understand was a brief meeting with his father" after he arrived in London.

"One could only imagine that it would have been an emotional reunion," she told ET.

"Because they haven't seen each other since the King's coronation, and then they didn't get to spend very much time together at all," Nicholl added.

Internet criticizes Prince Harry after he talks about his love for his family

Following Harry's 'I love my family' comment during his 'GMA' interview, social media users labeled him a "hypocrite" as he has been accused of throwing his family under the bus on several occasions through his controversial interviews and his memoir 'Spare.'

"'I love my family'. He attacked them, harassed his already sick grandmother for money, sold his family, did not deny the racism, and now says he loves them. Haha, hypocrite," a user wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

"He loves his family so much that he wrote Spare in tribute to them," another user remarked.

"I’m sorry, Harry is no longer a spokesperson for the Royal Family, they are using King Charles’ cancer as a way into mend fences for their image and nothing more," a user tweeted.
