>> byron: good for joining us tonight. an abc news exclusive with prince harry. as you've rarely prince harry as you've rarely seen him, speaking

candidly about his move to california, the rift in his family, and his father king charles' cancer diagnosis. harry opened up to abc's will reeve about the future he hopes to have here in america and back at home. >>. >> reporter: prince harry in canada this week promoting the first-ever winter invictus games set to take place next year. speaking exclusively with abc news for the first time since the royal family announced king charles is battling cancer. how did you get the news that the king was ill? >> i spoke to him. >> reporter: what did you do next? >> i jumped on a plane and went to go see him, as soon as i could. >> reporter: harry reportedly spent about 45 minutes with his father before flying back home. it's a royal relationship that's been rocky since prince harry and his wife, meghan markle, stepped away from royal duties nearly four years ago, airing their grievances to the public in harry's memoir "spare" and in an explosive netflix

documentary. >> they're happy to lie to protect my brother. they were never willing to tell the truth to protect us. >> i wasn't being thrown to the wolves, i was being fed to the wolves. >> reporter: how was that visit for you emotionally? >> look, i love my family. the fact that i was able to get on a plane and go see him, spent any time with him, i'm grateful for that. >> reporter: what's sort of your outlook on his health? >> that stays between me and him. >> reporter: an illness in the family can have a galvanizing or reunifying effect for a family. >> absolutely. >> reporter: is that possible in this case? >> yeah, i'm sure. throughout all these families, i see it on a day-to-day basis, again, the strength of the family unit coming together. >> i did note that when harry came to the uk to see his father, the media was informed that prince william had no plans to meet with harry. and i think it was interesting, not just that he had no plans, but also that he was happy for it to be known that he had no plans. and i think that says quite a

lot about how significant those hostilities still remain. >> reporter: now that the king is stepping back to undergo treatment, he's leaving the royal work up to the rest of the family. raising questions about how the two brothers, harry and william, will react in light of hard times. >> i do think that the british public would love to see harry make up with his father and with his brother. and this idea of a happy ending, i think there's very much a sense that would be fantastic. however, since harry and meghan stepped back from -- as work royals, that popularity has kind of plummeted here in the uk. >> reporter: in moments the duke of sussex will be hurtling 60 miles an hour down a winding track of ice in the mountains of canada. it's all part of his and duchess meghan's multi-day tour at the site of invictus games whistler 2025. harry is the founding patron of the games.

competitors, many wounded veterans, will participate in a dozen events including skeleton, that head-first luge. harry's trying it and bringing me with him. are you quite competitive? >> sometimes. depends on what it is. >> reporter: are you going to -- i feel my competitive juices flowing. harry making it safely to the bottom. hitting a top speed of 99 kilometers, or 61 miles, per hour. >> oh, man. that was really exciting. >> good. >> i'll do it again. >> well done. >> reporter: then it's my turn. you had 99, i had 98. where do you get the desire to be so involved in helping other people? >> i've always had a life of service. i get my fix being with these guys. there's no version of me coming here, watching them, and not getting involved myself. this is peacemaker. >> reporter: we met competitors like peacemaker from nigeria,

who used this preview as a chance to get used to the slopes. >> what time did you get here today? >> yeah, it was like 9:00. >> 9:00, and it's now -- >> the lifts are closed. >> reporter: instructors like alex, a paralympic skier. >> what does it mean to you to be able to teach these guys skiing for the first time? >> it's normalizing a bit of a hidden world of disabilities. the more people that know about what we do, the better. >> reporter: for so many of the service members, these games are about finding meaning after devastating loss. >> the invictus games gives you purpose baby, something to train for, looking forward to. it doesn't matter whether i win a medal. what matters is putting the time in to train, just to compete. how that camaraderie with other service members, and you know, build that family. >> reporter: with the help of a phone to translate, we saw that firsthand with this ukrainian competitor. what brought you here to whistler? >> i am here to help my brothers

who are currently wounded in ukrainian hospitals. >> reporter: when you hear that, what does that do for you? >> the emotions. you know. it's not lost on me, it's not lost on any of us, the thousands of ukrainians that are being injured now. >> reporter: harry says what's most significant to him is the meaning the games bring to everyone involved. >> you go to provide the resources and the opportunities and the platform for them to be able to heal themselves. because they heal themselves, and the whole family heals. to me, that is without doubt the most rewarding thing to all of this. >> byron: our thanks to will. earlier today in new york, a stunning find. a $354 million penalty leveled against former president trump for overinflating the values of his properties in a civil fraud case in order to obtain sweeter loan terms. justice engoran saying the

former president's "complete lack of contrition and remorse" borders on the pathological. john santucci has covered president trump for at least a decade. what's the reaction? >> no surprise, donald trump is livid. this case at the heart of it was the one that got to donald trump's heart. donald trump, five children, the business is hi sith, many say that's his favorite. that's been donald trump's brand, legacy. never in his wildest dreams would anybody formally come out in a ruling saying donald trump was a fraud. that's what happened. >> byron: how big a deal is it for trump the businessman and trump the politician? >> the businessman, a big blow to the ego. the opening to "the apprentice," that's what donald trump was, the image he sold to voters. the politician, this is the campaign message. this campaign is about the courthouse.

he's weaponizing these cases to build his campaign coffers. a fund-raising email for the campaign. >> byron: trump faces several cases. in atlanta, argument whether to remove fulton county d.a. fani willis from the case. >> what is humiliating to think the sitting d.a. is sitting on the stand having to talk about her personal life. all those details. the way that trump's attorneys went at her. what was striking, to have the d.a. sitting there and say at one point, look, i'm not on trial, they're on trial, trying to overturn the election. that's what's important here. regardless, none of it mattered. delay, delay, delay. it's been the tactic of team trump the entire time. that is what they were trying to do in this georgia hearing. >> byron: there are cases involving the president in new york, in d.c. which do you think poses the greatest threat? >> i think at the moment the d.c. election case. that gets at the heart of democracy. trying to overturn the election. those images of smashing the capitol are not good for donald

trump. if there's a trial, that one would go on for months. and donald trump would have to be in that courtroom every day. it's not like the civil ones where you pop in and out. >> byron: we know for trump's base, none of this matters. but for the independents, the other people he would need to win the election, i would have to think this will have some impact on them at some point? >> look at some of the exit polling after the iowa caucuses. a small percentage said if he was found guilty, convicted, it would sway a little bit of the country. does that sway, have an impact on the election? so far, the polls, as you know, neck and neck. >> byron: it's going to be a long year. john santucci, thank you, my friend. >> thanks, byron. when we come back, "little shop of horrors" gets a new infusion of star power. shop of horrors" gets a new infusion of star power. ♪ tel [waterfall roars] want to go somewhere amazing?
