Prince Harry was left in the dark by Buckingham Palace as the Duke of Sussex was not informed on King Charles's hospital visit due to the side effects of his cancer treatment on Thursday, source have claimed.
King Charles, 76, was briefly admitted to hospital and was forced to cancel four public engagements in Birmingham after suffering "temporary side effects" that required a short period of medical observation from his planned cancer treatment, Buckingham Palace confirmed.
Although it is not uncommon to suffer side effects during treatment, His Majesty is understood to be "greatly disappointed" to have missed his trip and "offers his deepest apologies to all those who had worked so hard to make the planned visit possible."
According to reports in the Sun, Buckingham Palace chose not to inform the Duke of Sussex, 40, on his father's condition to avoid alarming him.

Prince Harry is understood not to be on speaking terms with many senior members of the Royal Family following his decision to step back as a working royal in January 2020.
The fifth-in-line to the throne now resides in California with his wife, Meghan Markle, and their two children, Archie, five, and Lilibet, three.
An insider told the Sun: "He misses his family terribly, but no one is speaking to him any more.
"He just wants to go for a beer with the guys, but his only friends are just the husbands of Meghan's friends."
