Prince Harry told guests at a charity event that King Charles is "doing great" after the Duke of Sussex's recent visit to the UK for a family reunion, according to people who overheard the conversation.
The comment, made at a private gathering in London on Thursday evening, is the first public update on the monarch's health from a family member in months. King Charles has been undergoing treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer since early 2024.
Harry was overheard giving the assessment while speaking with other attendees at the event, which was held to raise funds for veterans' mental health services. He did not elaborate on the king's treatment or prognosis.
The reunion earlier this week marked the first time Harry had seen his father in person since the king's diagnosis was made public. The Duke of Sussex has made several trips to the UK this year, though his visits have typically been brief and focused on specific engagements.
Buckingham Palace has not commented on the king's current condition. The palace's last formal update on Charles's health came in April, when officials said the monarch was "responding well" to treatment and had resumed some public duties on a limited schedule.
King Charles has maintained a reduced public calendar since the diagnosis, appearing at select state events and ceremonial occasions while delegating most routine engagements to other senior royals.
