Sources labelled Charles’s decision to change his plans “significant” as he left Clarence House alongside his wife, Queen Camilla, an hour later than planned.
An insider told the publication: “Charles always keeps a tight schedule and had a planned itinerary to leave London to rest and recuperate in Norfolk.
“He is very fastidious about time-keeping but it was significant that he delayed the flight to Sandringham when he knew Harry was visiting.”
They added: “After all, the Duke of Sussex had flown all the way from California at short notice and he accepted the gesture. There is cause for optimism.”
The King was pictured smiling and waving after his meeting with Harry as he left his London residence.
He eventually boarded a chopper and flew to Sandringham, Norfolk, where he is expected to stay as he undergoes cancer treatment.
Meanwhile, Palace sources claimed Charles will divide time between his country residences and return to London for meetings, business and outpatient treatment for his cancer.
