He expressed gratitude to his relative for the opportunity to talk privately and admitted that he immediately flew from the USA to the United Kingdom upon receiving the diagnosis.
The host then asked him about King Charles's health, but Harry responded briefly: "That remains between him and me."
Rivas asked the prince how he copes with bad news.
"I have my family, just like all of us. I’ve got other trips planned that will take me through the U.K., or back to the U.K., and so I’ll stop in and see my family as much as I can," the duke admitted frankly.
Additionally, Harry shared his love for life in America and even admitted that he had considered the possibility of obtaining American citizenship.
"It’s amazing, but I don't feel American yet. The American citizenship is a thought that has crossed my mind, but certainly is not something that is a high priority for me right now, "he said.
