Prince Harry is already back home in Montecito, California, after just 24 hours in his homeland.

The Duke of Sussex, 39, landed in London shortly after 2pm local time on Tuesday before visiting his ailing father, King Charles III, for just 30 minutes.

Harry smiled as he returned to London Heathrow Airport on Wednesday afternoon after being escorted to Clarence House in a convoy from the same airport yesterday.

The exiled king reportedly spent the night in a London hotel after his brief meeting with his father, despite having a host of royal residences at his disposal.

Harry’s mad transatlantic race is reminiscent of his whirlwind trip to London for his father’s coronation on May 6, 2024.

The father of two took an urgent flight from LAX to London on Monday night after hearing the news of King Charles’ cancer diagnosis.

Charles, for his part, begins outpatient cancer treatment this week.

He and his wife, Queen Camilla, were flown to Sandringham by helicopter from Buckingham Palace on Tuesday afternoon.

Harry now heads home to Montecito, California, where Markle currently stays with her two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

The “Suits” alum, 42, decided not to accompany her husband on his urgent trip because she felt it was “something he had to do alone,” Harrold told The Post.

Elsewhere, Prince William, Harry’s estranged brother, was seen for the first time since returning to royal duties.

The Prince of Wales, 41, hosted a star-studded investiture ceremony at Windsor Castle on Wednesday morning, where he presented more than 50 honors on behalf of his ailing father.
