Harry's arrival will test William's cold shoulder as brothers reunite
Prince Harry is travelling back to the UK to support King Charles after the monarch was diagnosed with cancer and it's likely he will finally reunite with his brother, Prince William.
The Duke of Sussex was seen arriving at a private terminal at LAX ahead of his flight to the UK. He is expected to land at around midday today. It will be the first time Harry has seen his father since the King's Coronation back in May.
Harry is also estranged from his brother and it's currently unclear if they will reunite in their father's hour of need. Royal expert Richard Kay believes Harry's return to the UK will "test William's resolve".

Writing in the Daily Mail, he said: "While it was inconceivable that Harry would not want to fly to Britain once bulletins about Charles were issued, his presence will serve as a reminder of just how fractured the Royal Family has become since the death of Queen Elizabeth in 2022."

Richard suggested the royal household will be "relieved" that Harry is making the trip alone. His wife Meghan Markle will stay at their home in Montecito, California with their two young children - Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
Harry and William's relationship was left in tatters when the Duke of Sussex hit out at his brother in his debut memoir Spare. In the book, Harry accused the Prince of Wales of physically attacking him during a terrifying altercation.

He explained: "While Charles has been torn by the conflict between his sons and has longed for a rapprochement, William is convinced that trust, the basis of any relationship, has been utterly destroyed."
He believes Harry's arrival will "test William's resolve" and said it's currently unclear if William will agree to reunite with his brother. The expert also said William will be thinking about his grandmother Queen Elizabeth during this difficult time and wondering how she would have "dealt with such a princely incursion".
Buckingham Palace announced the King's cancer diagnosis last night and said he will undergo immediate treatment. The monarch was last month diagnosed with an enlarged prostate and spent three days in hospital after undergoing a medical procedure for the benign condition.
It was during this intervention that a separate issue of concern was noted and subsequently diagnosed as a form of cancer. This second condition will now receive "appropriate treatment from a specialist team".
