He added that Thomas was planning to fly to the UK for the Queen's Jubilee on Monday – but he no longer knows whether "that will happen".

Larsen explained: “I’m here waiting to see him. I don’t know how serious it is yet.

“We were due to leave for London to be there for the jubilee on Monday.

“Now it’s all up in the air, I don’t know what will happen. 

“I can’t possibly see how that would still be on."

Thomas was forced to pull out of his daughter's wedding to Prince Harry in 2018 after he suffered a heart attack – and had to undergo surgery to repair the damage.

He was due to walk his daughter down the aisle for the big day, but was instead replaced by Prince Charles.

Thomas said back then: "I hate the idea of missing one of the greatest moments in history and walking my daughter down the aisle."

The dad hasn't seen his daughter, 40, since before her wedding, and has never met his two grandchildren.

However, he sensationally announced last month that he plans to fly to the UK this year where he will gatecrash the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.

Speaking to Dan Wootton on GB News, Thomas claimed he wanted to meet Harry and Meghan if they to travel over for the celebrations.

He said he also hoped to meet Prince Charles, when he flies over in June – and thank him for walking his daughter down the aisle.
