Prince Harry was accused of rushing to see King Charles for the benefit of his and Meghan Markle's new website.

The Duke of Sussex immediately flew to the United Kingdom when the monarch informed him of his cancer diagnosis. The father and son only met for 45 minutes before the latter flew back to the United States to reunite with his wife and their two children -- Archie, 4, and Lilibet, 2.

However, netizens speculated that Prince Harry had another motive for visiting his father. A week after they met, the royal couple based in Montecito launched a new website bearing their royal title -- Sussex.com. One netizen claimed that Prince Harry probably visited the King to trick the public into thinking that the new website was approved by the British monarch.

"I'm beginning to think Harry's mercy dash to see the King was to make it look like he had the King's approval before the new website was launched," one netizen wrote. "They are going back to pretending that they are working Royals. I do not believe the King has sanctioned them to be half in, half out."

Several netizens agreed and shared the same sentiment. "I was thinking the same thing," one commented.

Another added, "Absolutely! Taking advantage of the King's illness."

"I think you're spot on!! That visit had nothing to do with HMTK and everything to do with the gruesome twosome's agenda," a third person said.

"Makes a lot [of] sense," a fourth user opined.

A fifth user stated, "That's what I thought the minute this bogus website came out!"

"The royals were blindsided. So when Harry made the dash over to see the King, he knew the website was going to come out and stress his dad, who had cancer," another person tweeted.

Meanwhile, some netizens gave Prince Harry the benefit of the doubt. They were hopeful that Prince William's brother flew to really see their dad and not for some agenda.

"I feel a bit the same. But we know that isn't true," one said.

"I have a different theory... I think he went there as he realized he could lose his dad... then when he was rebuffed (rightly so), he went back to what he knew how to do best... antagonize & upset his father & father by promoting himself & his wife in this way," another claimed.

A different user hoped it wasn't the case.

"I really hope not Taz, because if he has, I am out. It will be the downfall of the RF with MM involved," the netizen opined.

Another suggested that asking for the King's approval wasn't among Prince Harry's reasons to see his dad because he allegedly usually doesn't ask for permission in the first place. Instead, the user speculated that Prince Harry didn't want to be late in case something happened to his dad since his grandmother had already died when he arrived in Sandringham.

"Since when does Harry seek approval from dad since 2020? The dash was to not have a replay of September 2022. The website TBH, is M's baby. H is just an accessory to her," another remarked.

There are claims that Prince Harry and Markle betrayed Queen Elizabeth with their new website. However, the Palace has not released any statement about the matter.
