Prince Harry cracked a joke at his dad King Charles' expense at the Living Legends of Aviation awards on Friday night.
The jokester said he was "terrified" when his father took the controls of a helicopter during his first flight. The light-hearted speech came as The Mirror has since confirmed that Harry and Meghan have given their support to the King and Princess of Wales in private following their health scares.
Charles is preparing for a prostate operation and Kate is in hospital after major abdominal surgery. The olive branch from Harry comes after months of claims of a severely strained relationship between the Sussexes and the rest of the Royal Family. This week, it was revealed the King has quietly made provision to stop Harry from acting as a substitute for him if he falls ill or is abroad.
