King Charles has been spotted for the first time since his cancer diagnosis was revealed, as his son Prince Harry arrives in the UK to see his father.
Charles and Queen Camilla were driven out of Clarence House in London on Tuesday afternoon to Buckingham Palace, where they were believed to have been flown to Sandringham in Norfolk.
He was spotted leaving his London residence just over an hour after his son Harry arrived at the house for a brief reunion.
The Duke of Sussex touched down at London’s Heathrow Airport at 12:20pm after he cleared his diary to travel from California to be with Charles despite their troubled relationship.

He has postponed all public engagements while he undergoes regular treatment, with other members of the royal family expected to take on extra work.

The King is in the thoughts of parishioners near Balmoral following his cancer diagnosis, the minister of Crathie Kirk has said. Members of the royal family since Queen Victoria have often attended the church, which is close to the Balmoral Estate.
Reverend Ken MacKenzie said that the King is “very well known and liked” in the community and that people were saddened to hear of his illness.
Rev Ken MacKenzie, minister of the Parish of Braemar and Crathie in Aberdeenshire and a Domestic Chaplain to the King, said people are sending Charles their best wishes. He said: “We are glad that his treatment is underway and hope and pray that all will be well with him.
“King Charles lives a busy life and I hope that he enjoys a quieter time over the coming months while he recuperates. All of us want to pass on our very best wishes and assure him that we are holding him in our prayers as well as other members of the royal family.
“They have been through a lot during the last two years and we wish them God’s peace.”
Mr MacKenzie commended the King for being open with the public about his diagnosis, adding: “Speaking out this way is a gracious and humble thing to do, hats off to him and I am sure it will prove to be very helpful to other people.”
