In addition, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex issued a public statement in which they expressed their support for Kate when she made her revelation.
According to information obtained by ET, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have made a private contact with Prince William and Kate Middleton after the announcement that the Princess of Wales has been diagnosed with cancer.
Although it is still unknown how or when precisely they reached out to Kate, it is worth noting that the gesture was followed by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex making a joint statement in support of Kate. During an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Harry and Meghan made the following statement: “We wish health and healing for Kate and the family, and hope that they are able to do so privately and in peace.”
These statements were made not long after Kate made the announcement on Friday that she had cancer, as determined by tests conducted after her stomach surgery in January. She concluded by saying, “My medical team therefore advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy and I’m now in the early stages of that treatment.”
It is in the midst of continuous friction with the royal family that Harry and Meghan have made their declaration and gesture. This tension goes back to the year 2020, when the pair made the decision to leave the royal life and move to the United States together. Katie Nicholl, an expert on royal affairs, explained to ET why she thinks Harry and Meghan aren’t being kept in the know on the whereabouts of Kate, who has been the subject of gossip.
“Of course they’re aware she’s been in the [hospital], I’m not even sure they know what’s she’s been in for because the relationship is very estranged now, you know, the brothers don’t talk and Kate and Meghan certainly don’t talk, so while well-wishes have been extended — certainly on the part of the Sussexes — I’m not sure that they’re actually as in the loop as perhaps more senior members of the royal family,” Nicholl explained to reporters.
right a few hours after Princess Diana’s brother, Earl Charles Spencer, went to Instagram and uploaded a snapshot of Kate’s on-camera announcement with the message, “Incredible poise and strength,” William and Kate’s response to the outpouring of love arrives right about the same time.
