Harry: “Yes. I’m sure that. … Any illness, any illness, brings families together.”
When Charles went to the hospital for a procedure for a noncancerous enlarged prostate, his doctors discovered cancer. Buckingham Palace has said it is not prostate cancer, but has not told the public what type of cancer it is or what type of treatment Charles is receiving as an outpatient.

GMA: “Do you feel American?”
Harry: “Ahhh. Do I feel American? No. I don’t know how I feel.”
GMA: “Would you think about becoming a citizen?”
Harry: “Ugh. I have thought about it. Yeah.”
GMA: “What would stop you from doing it?”
Harry: “I have no idea.”
The prince said that American citizenship “is a thought that has crossed my mind.”
He later added that “it’s not a high priority for me right now.”
Harry suggested that his future flights and duties might take him through Britain. “So, you know, I’ll stop by and see my family as much as I can,” he said.
Harry and Meghan are not very well liked in Britain and appear at the end of popularity pollsjust a tick above the disgraced Prince Andrew.
