King Charles and Queen Camilla have arrived at the royal estate in Sandringham by helicopter after a brief meeting with Prince Harry, who flew to the UK earlier on Tuesday.

Charles was seen for the first time since his cancer diagnosis was announced on Monday as he was driven out of Clarence House in London to Buckingham Palace on Tuesday afternoon.

From there, the 75-year-old and Camilla were taken by helicopter to Sandringham in Norfolk.

He had left the house after a brief reunion with Prince Harry.

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.

There are no plans for the duke to meet his brother, Prince William, while he is in the UK, according to reports.

Charles, 75, personally called both Harry and Prince William to tell them about his diagnosis before Buckingham Palace revealed the news on Monday evening.

No plans for princes to meet while Harry is back in UK

There are no plans for Prince Harry and Prince William to meet while the Duke of Sussex is in the UK to see his father, according to a report.

“The years of disagreements between the Sussexes and the rest of the royals, and decisions by Harry and Meghan to share personal details about their difficult relationships with certain family members, have ramped up speculation about whether the two brothers would meet,” Sky royal correspondent Rhiannon Mills said.

“Currently it appears highly unlikely that will happen during this visit.”

Wellwishers at Buckingham Palace send messages of support to King Charles

A subdued atmosphere surrounded Buckingham Palace on Tuesday as well-wishers arrived to share messages of support for King Charles following news of his cancer diagnosis, my colleague Maira Butt reports.

Two sisters, 49-year-old Julie and 54-year-old Arlene, both nurses from Northern Ireland, flew out from Belfast after hearing the news. “We booked flights straight away. It’s a big shock. It’s huge. He’s waited so long to be on the throne and now this happens. It’s crazy,’ Julie said.

Mother and daughter Jacqueline Murray, 40, and Nicola Roberts, 60 said the diagnosis being made public made Brits see the family as more relatable. “Charles’s diagnosis makes him more relatable to the rest of us. Other people have been affected by cancer and you don’t hear about it happening to the royal family.

King in the thoughts of parishioners near Balmoral, minister says

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.”

Clapham chemical attack: Police believe suspect is being 'helped by others' as manhunt targets 'associates' - Sky News

Police say they believe the Clapham chemical attack suspect is being "helped by others" and are "targeting more of his associates".

It comes as new images and footage is released of Abdul Shokoor Ezedi, who allegedly targeted a mother and two children with an alkaline substance in Clapham, south London, last Wednesday evening.

In an update on Tuesday afternoon, police released an image of the 35-year-old's last known sighting at 10.04pm last Wednesday, when he passed the Unilever building in central London - on the north bank of the River Thames - and headed towards Victoria Embankment.

Commander Jon Savell said teams have been "working tirelessly through the night and into today" to pinpoint Ezedi's latest movements.

"It remains our belief that he is being helped by others and yesterday we arrested a man for assisting an offender," he said, referring to a 22-year-old detained on Monday.

"Our enquiries continue to target more of Ezedi's associates."

A £20,000 reward is on offer for information leading to Ezedi's arrest, with police revealing the substance used in the attack was "very strong", "concentrated" and "corrosive".

The woman, who was known to Ezedi, remains in hospital in a critical but stable condition and may lose sight in her right eye, police said on Monday.

Meanwhile, her daughters - aged eight and three - have injuries not thought to be life-changing.

Ezedi allegedly threw the younger child to the ground during the attack at 7.25pm before attempting to drive away from the scene, crashing into a parked vehicle and fleeing on foot.

The manhunt, led by the Met's Specialist Crime Command, involves a team of more than 100 officers and dozens more from forces across the UK, including in Northumbria, and British Transport Police.

Police said "painstaking work" by counter terrorism officers - drafted in to examine hundreds of hours of CCTV - traced Ezedi from his last-known position at 9.47pm on Allhallows Lane in the City of London.

At 9.54pm he travelled along Upper Thames Street and into Pauls Walk, passing the City of London School and then towards Blackfriars Bridge.

That brought him to his most recent sighting at 10.04pm, six days ago.

More than 200 calls have been received about potential sightings, but they have since been discounted.

It is understood Ezedi, who is believed to be from Afghanistan, arrived in the UK in 2016, reportedly in the back of a lorry.

According to the PA news agency, he avoided jail after pleading guilty to charges of sexual assault and exposure.

Instead, he was placed on the sex offenders register for 10 years and told to do 200 hours of unpaid work when he was handed a suspended sentence at Newcastle Crown Court on 9 January 2018.

The details emerged as a bishop said she would make no apologies for religious leaders supporting asylum seekers.

Questions remain around how Ezedi was granted asylum despite his conviction, amid suggestions a tribunal judge ruled in his favour after a priest confirmed he had converted to Christianity.

Harry and Charles’ brief meeting prompts speculation of a reconciliation

Prince Harry’s decision to rush to his father’s side following his cancer diagnosis has prompted suggestions that a bond that remains between the pair

Their relationship was severely strained following Harry’s decision to step down as a working royal in 2020 and air a catalogue of grievances against the institution of the monarchy and members of his family in a series of interviews.

Harry was last seen with members of the monarchy when he visited the UK to attend the King’s coronation in May last year without Meghan, and reportedly flew home to California within hours of the ceremony ending.

Charles’s health scare has brought his son back to the UK and where there is contact there is the possibility of a reconciliation not only between father and son, but Harry and William.

Harry 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.

Charles, 75, personally called both Harry and Prince William to tell them about his diagnosis before Buckingham Palace revealed the news on Monday evening.

UK weather: snow threatens travel disruption as temperatures drop - The Guardian

A band of heavy snow could cause disruption later this week across parts of the UK, with as much as 20cm possible in higher areas.

Temperatures will drop as the week goes on, with a yellow snow warning issued that covers much of Wales as well as northern and central England, the Met Office said.

One to two centimetres is widely possible at low levels, 2-5cm on ground above 200 metres, and as much as 10-20cm above 400 metres. The warning runs from 3am on Thursday to 3am on Friday and stretches from Cumbria and the Scottish border down to Cambridgeshire and the Midlands in England.

All of northern and central Wales, including the isle of Anglesey, is included in the warning. There is a risk of power cuts, travel delays and some rural communities becoming cut off, the forecaster said.

The snow will ease later in the day, and may turn back to rain or drizzle, especially in the south and east.

There is uncertainty with respect to the rain-snow boundary, and the northern limit of the snow, the Met Office said.

The Met Office deputy chief meteorologist Chris Almond said: “While the early part of this week will see some rain, at times heavy, gradually sinking southwards, there’s an increased signal for wintry hazards as we move through the week as cold air from the north moves over the UK.

“It’s from Thursday that the snow risk becomes more potentially impactful, as mild air attempts to move back in from the south, bumping into the cold air and increasing the chance of snow developing on the leading edge.

“While there are still lots of details to work out, the initial snow risk looks highest in northern England and Wales from Thursday.”

The snow will turn into sleet and rain towards the end of the warning period from the south.

Further warnings for ice could be issued later in the week as temperatures drop below average for this time of year, the forecaster said.

King Charles has been diagnosed with a form of cancer and is stepping back from public duties, Buckingham Palace has said.

The announcement comes after the monarch, 75, underwent surgery for an enlarged prostate last month.

Prince William is expected to shoulder some of his father’s responsibilities as he resumes official engagements this week, while Prince Harry will travel to the UK to see Charles in the coming days, a source close to the Duke of Sussex has said.

President Joe Biden said he was “concerned” about the King and hope to speak with him soon, “God willing”.

Earlier this week, the monarch was seen waving and walking with the Queen by his side on his first public outing since the treatment.

On Sunday, Charles was pictured attending a church service at St Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham, giving a smile and wave to photographers outside.

He left with Queen Camilla just hours after the Princess of Wales was discharged from the same hospital after having had abdominal surgery nearly two weeks earlier.

It was revealed last night that the King has been diagnosed with an unspecified form of cancer which was found while he was undergoing treatment for an enlarged prostate.

A family friend told the Mail Online that Charles was being “hugely positive”, adding: “From what I know he is up and about as usual and he is so positive that you wouldn’t know he even had a condition. Luckily it has, as far as anyone can tell, been caught very early.

“In terms of the treatment he is getting, the treatment for all cancers have come on in leaps and bounds in recent years. The specialist ones they conduct now are incredibly sophisticated. He and his doctors are very, very positive.”

A royal aide said that a number of the King’s public engagements would have to be rearranged or postponed as he starts regular treatment, but he will continue to undertake state business and official paperwork as usual.

The news was announced just days after Charles was admitted to a private hospital for an unrelated operation on an enlarged prostate.

The monarch’s treatment and diagnoses have sparked interest in what is an extremely common condition among older men.

The 75-year-old monarch is in good company. About half of men in their 50s have enlarged prostates and that prevalence climbs to more than 80 per cent of men by the time they reach age 80.

Chemical attack suspect Abdul Ezedi could have taken his own life or be using an ally to stay hidden, a former senior police officer has said as the manhunt enters its fifth day.

The Metropolitan Police have been searching for the 35-year-old since Wednesday after a 31-year-old and her daughters, aged eight and three, were attacked with a “very strong concentrated corrosive substance” in Clapham, south London.

The woman remains in a critical condition and is facing life-changing injuries.

Nick Aldworth, a former national counter-terrorism co-ordinator, told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “I think if we’ve not seen or heard from him in the the last couple of days, which appears to be the case, he’s gone to ground, possibly supported by somebody… or it’s not unlikely or improbable that he may have taken his own life.

Police investigators believe there are people who know Ezedi’s whereabouts and have not come forward. The convicted sex offender was last seen exiting Tower Hill Station at 9.33pm on Wednesday and the Met have offered a £20,000 reward for anyone with information leading to his arrest.

Clapham suspect was in relationship with victim, relative says

The relative, who has not been named, said they would “bring in” 35-year-old suspect Abdul Ezedi themselves and expressed concern about his wellbeing.

Ezedi fled Clapham after allegedly dousing a woman, 31, and her two children aged three and eight, in an alkaline substance which left the mother in a serious condition with life-changing injuries.

Minister says suspect would not be here if Nationality and Borders Bill in place

Cabinet minister Chris Heaton-Harris insisted Abdul Ezedi would have been detained and deported if the Government’s Nationality and Borders Bill had been in place.

Asked whether he agreed with his colleague Gillian Keegan’s remark that the focus around the alkali attack is “not really about asylum,” he told LBC: “We know as a Government we need to tighten those (powers) further and that’s what we’re trying to do with our Rwanda Bill…

“This was an unbelievably tragic occurrence. Everybody that I know has been completely shocked by it. But we’ve tightened our laws since and he would not be here had we had the Nationality and Borders Bill in place and he’d been detained and deported properly.”

Chemical attack suspect ‘could have taken own life'

Chemical attack suspect Abdul Ezedi could have taken his own life, a former senior police officer has said as the manhunt for the 35-year-old enters it’s fifth day.

The Metropolitan Police have been searching for Ezedi since Wednesday after a 31-year-old and her daughters, aged eight and three, were attacked with a “very strong concentrated corrosive substance” in Clapham, south London.

Nick Aldworth, a former national counter-terrorism co-ordinator, told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “I think if we’ve not seen or heard from him in the the last couple of days, which appears to be the case, he’s gone to ground, possibly supported by somebody… or it’s not unlikely or improbable that he may have taken his own life.

“There is therefore a body to be found somewhere.”

Mr Aldworth said the force would be tracking Ezedi’s movements through public cameras, which had been a “very effective” method in previous cases.

Asked if the Met Police would now have a precise location for his whereabouts, he said: “I think they’ll have a very good sense of what area he’s in.

“What you can’t discount of course is that he has been picked up by an ally and moved somewhere else, perhaps in a vehicle. The reason they’ve offered a £20,000 reward is usually because there’s a sense that somebody inside the community might well be harbouring this individual.”

£20K reward offered for alkali attack suspect who ‘used very strong corrosive’

The suspect in the alkali attack in south London used a “very strong concentrated corrosive substance”, police revealed, as they offered a reward of up to £20,000 for information leading to his arrest.

Commander Jon Savell said analysis of the substance showed it was highly corrosive.

He said: “The liquid used in the attack was a very strong concentrated corrosive substance, either liquid sodium hydroxide or liquid sodium carbonate.

“Further enquiries are ongoing including comparison with the containers seized from Ezedi’s address in Newcastle.”

The force also said they had new information on his movements, including that the last sighting of him was at 9.33pm at Tower Hill Underground station in east London on 31 January, shortly after the attack in Clapham.

Previous sightings put him at King’s Cross Station at around 9pm on 31 January and police said he boarded a Victoria line train to Victoria Station, arriving at 9.10pm.

He then boarded an eastbound District Line train to Tower Hill at 9.16pm.

Questions around Abdul Ezedi’s stay following sex offence conviction

Questions have been raised around how Abdul Ezedi was able to stay in the country following his sex offence conviction.

Speaking on the Trevor Phillips On Sunday programme on Sky News, education secretary Gillian Keegan said: “I think that (asylum) is something that more than one person is asking.

“My understanding is the home secretary has asked for all the details but this (case) is not really about asylum.”

Shadow digital minister Sir Chris Bryant told the same programme that Ezedi should not have been granted asylum.

In the main, on the face of it, if everything that we have been told is true, then it seems absolutely extraordinary that the British people should be put at such risk from this person. Of course it’s something we might need to look at.

Sir Chris Bryant
