It marked the first time Harry had spoken publicly since news broke of King Charles' cancer diagnosis.
And, it came just days after the duke made a transatlantic dash to see His Majesty after receiving a personal phone call from the Monarch about his condition.
He met with his father for around half an hour at Clarence House, in their first face-to-face encounter for 16 months.
There was no meeting between Harry and William, who have not spoken for more than a year.
Buckingham Palace announced the shock diagnosis on Monday and said King remains "wholly positive" while he has begun treatment.
It confirmed the cancer was spotted during the King's recent prostate operation.
Charles had been admitted into The London Clinic on January 26 to undergo treatment for an enlarged prostate.
Now, His Majesty is taking a step back from royal duties, with Queen Camilla and Prince William taking on more responsibilities.
At a charity event yesterday evening, the Queen shared an update on her husband's health.
She said: "He’s doing extremely well under the circumstances.
“He is very touched by all of the letters and messages the public have been sending from everywhere.
"That’s very cheering.”
Meanwhile, despite the turbulent time for his family as Princess Kate recuperates from her abdominal surgery, Prince William has also been carrying on with royal duties.
He gave a speech at a charity fundraising gala for the London Air Ambulance on Wednesday and held an investiture at Windsor Castle.
It remains unclear when the King will be able to resume full-time public appearances.
