Prince Harry has landed in the UK after flying back from America to be with his father King Charles following his cancer diagnosis.
The Duke of Sussex was seen arriving at Los Angeles International Airport last night and landed in London around lunchtime today before heading to join his father at Clarence House. Harry looked tense as he was pictured in the UK for the first time since September.
Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, body language expert Judi James said: "Tanned and dressed in a super-cool if sombre black t-shirt and jacket, Harry adopts a ‘tourist’ pose driving through London, gazing keenly out of the car window as though absorbing all the sights, rather than staring resolutely ahead as UK royals tend to do when not waving at the crowds."

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.

The statement said: "During The King’s recent hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement, a separate issue of concern was noted. Subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer. His Majesty has today commenced a schedule of regular treatments, during which time he has been advised by doctors to postpone public-facing duties.

The King is grateful to his medical team for their swift intervention, which was made possible thanks to his recent hospital procedure. He remains wholly positive about his treatment and looks forward to returning to full public duty as soon as possible. His Majesty has chosen to share his diagnosis to prevent speculation and in the hope it may assist public understanding for all those around the world who are affected by cancer."
The King is believed to have personally notified all of his siblings - Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward - although it is not clear exactly when. The Palace confirmed the disease, which is not prostate cancer, was discovered while the King was being treated in hospital for an enlarged prostate.
