Nearly two weeks after Buckingham Palace shared the monarch has been diagnosed with cancer, the Duke of Sussex—who has been estranged from the royal family—opened up about visiting his dad.

The 39-year-old also agreed that his father's condition could have a "reunifying effect" on his family.

"Throughout all these families I see it on a day-to-day basis the strength of the family unit coming together," Harry, who spoke to the outlet on the site of next year's Invictus Games in Whistler, Canada, added. "I think any illness, any sickness brings families together."

When asked about the King's current condition, Harry declined to disclose further details, noting, "That stays between me and him."

The insight from the Duke of Sussex comes just days after the monarch himself spoke out about his diagnosis, sharing his gratitude for the outpouring of support and well wishes.

"I would like to express my most heartfelt thanks for the many messages of support and good wishes I have received in recent days," King Charles wrote, as seen in a post shared on the Royal family's Instagram page Feb. 10. "As all those who have been affected by cancer will know, such kind thoughts are the greatest comfort and encouragement."

The monarch continued, "It is equally heartening to hear how sharing my own diagnosis has helped promote public understanding and shine a light on the work of all those organizations which support cancer patients and their families across the UK and wider world. My lifelong admiration for their tireless care and dedication is all the greater as a result of my own personal experience."
