Harry 'to spend more time' in England following dad Charles' cancer news
Prince Harry plans to 'spend more time' in England following dad King Charles' cancer diagnosis - and Meghan has given her blessing.
The father-of-two was pictured as he touched down in London from California where he now lives with wife Meghan Markle and their children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. It comes as Harry hopes to put the rift between his brother Prince William behind him and be a support to William as he takes on more responsibility while King Charles undergoes treatment.
Harry is 'keen to start healing his rift' with Wills for the sake of their family, and Wills is coming around to this idea too, says a source close to the family. An insider told us: "Harry is making plans to spend more time in England so he can be there physically for his father.
"Meghan has given him her blessing to do this as she knows family is paramount. It's early days yet and they are working out logistically how they can make it work as Harry's life is now in the States with his wife and kids. Harry and Wills have always been there for each other through tough times, and it looks like they will restart building their relationship again. The brotherly love never really went away. It will take time."

Prince Harry has flown home to be by his dad's side (Samir Hussein/WireImage)On Monday, February 5, Charles told the world he had been diagnosed with cancer. In a statement released by Buckingham Palace, it said after undergoing tests that "a form of cancer" was found. His Majesty did not immediately specify which type of cancer it is.
The statement read: "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." With the news that the King is currently being treated for a form of cancer, his forthcoming public engagements will have to be rearranged or postponed."
It is hoped Charles will continue with some of his duties, but how much he can do will depend on the progress of his treatment and the orders of his doctors. And it could be that heir to the throne William will have to step up to carry out some duties on behalf of his dad.

William is returning to official engagements tomorrow, with Kensington Palace making its own announcement just a few hours before Buckingham Palace shared the King's diagnosis with the nation. The confirmation of William's return will be seen as an attempt to signal stability within the monarchy despite the difficult times facing the royals.
The 41-year-old is already dealing with his own immediate family's health troubles, with his wife the Princess of Wales in the early days of recovery after major abdominal surgery. He stepped back temporarily from his royal role three weeks ago to juggle caring for his wife Kate and their children following Kate's operation.
It is understood William is likely to undertake some duties on behalf of the King in addition to his own diary of engagements, and as a future king and the senior royal in the line of succession, he would be expected to shoulder most of the responsibility. Meanwhile Prince Harry has been pictured back in the UK for the first time after he rushing back to his homeland following King Charles' cancer diagnosis. The King called Harry personally to tell him the news.
Charles has already begun treatment for the cancer, which was discovered during an operation for an enlarged prostate last month. He has not confirmed which type of cancer he has, but sources has confirmed it's not prostate cancer.
