Prince Harry has revealed his plans to return to the UK and one royal expert believes it could happen sooner than fans think.

The Duke of Sussex made a brief return to London last month after his father King Charles was diagnosed with cancer. Harry then gave a rare interview during which he announced he will be returning to the UK again, but he didn't provide any exact dates.

Royal author Tom Quinn suggested Harry's return could be "fairly soon". Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, Tom said Harry will want to show the world "he is a caring member of the Royal Family."

"The fact that he lost his High Court challenge will definitely make him think twice about coming back to the UK, but on the other hand, he feels under enormous pressure to show the world that he is a caring member of the Royal Family and the only way he can show he cares is to visit his father, even if that is difficult because Meghan won't want to come and he is still completely unable to make things up with his brother," Tom said.

He added: "The key thing is that it will look terrible if Harry doesn't visit his father again - and fairly soon - because Harry and Meghan have made being caring and sharing a central part of their mission, their brand. How will it look if Harry cares about injured soldiers but doesn't seem to care much about his stricken father?"

Harry recently opened up about his father's cancer diagnosis and said he believes it could have a "reunifying" effect on the Royal Family. Speaking to Good Morning America, he said: "Throughout all these families I see it on a day-to-day basis the strength of the family unit coming together. I think any illness, any sickness brings families together."

The Duke of Sussex also revealed he will soon be returning to the UK and insisted he loves his family. "Look I love my family. The fact that I was able to get on a plane and go and see him and spend any time with him I'm grateful for that," Harry said.

Harry also opened up about his brief return to the UK and said he felt grateful to have been able to see his father. Harry jumped on a plane after learning about his father's cancer diagnosis and was able to sit down for a half-an-hour chat with the King.

However, Harry refused to comment on how King Charles is doing during his GMA appearance. When asked about his father's condition, he simply replied: "That stays between me and him".
