King Charles Makes Rare Comment About Son Prince Harry
- King Charles III recently chatted with a former competitor of Prince Harry's Invictus Games, expressing interest in the event founded by his son.
King Charles III has made an increasingly rare comment about his youngest son, Prince Harry , amid the ongoing royal family rift .
On Feb. 19, the monarch chatted with a former competitor of the Duke of Sussex's Invictus Games while visiting the Center for Injury Studies at Imperial College London.
While there, Charles, 77, met and spoke with David Henson—a former captain in the British army and a parasport athlete who has previously competed in the sporting tournament for sick and/or injured veterans—according to a press release reviewed by Us Weekly .
Henson demonstrated technology designed to improve rehabilitation for patients with limb loss before the royal inquired about Henson's status with the games founded by his son.
"So I'm a touch too old, I think," Henson admitted, recounting his participation in 2014 and 2016. He also competed in the Paralympics in 2016, and served as "one of the trustees until the end of 2023," according to the publication.
"So I've certainly been involved with it," he shared. "I'm back in the defense industry now, I'm working, I've got three children."
"Fantastic," Charles told the man in response.
It follows a rare message from the King and his eldest son , Prince William, in September when the pair publicly wished Prince Harry a happy birthday for the first time since 2021.
Harry has been open about the rift between him, his brother and his father, while the other side typically remains quiet on the subject. However, Prince William's wife Kate Middletonwas reportedly "very concerned" by the familial tension last summer.
