HOW PRINCE HARRY AND MEGHAN FOUND OUT ABOUT KATE MIDDLETON’S CANCER DIAGNOSIS

The Times of London reports that Prince Harry and his wife Megan Markle found out about Kate Middleton’s cancer diagnosis at the same time as the public. This was reportedly via a TV broadcast. The Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton revealed she had cancer in an emotional video shared on Twitter on Friday 22 March.

The Princess of Wales explained that in the aftermath of her major abdominal surgery, her medical team found out that “cancer had been present.” Shortly after, People shared a statement from Prince Harry and Meghan wishing health on Kate.

“We wish health and healing for Kate and the family, and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace,” said the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to People on Friday.

The publication thereafter reported that Prince Harry and Meghan also reached out to Kate privately following the news of her cancer diagnosis.

Several sources told The Times of London that Kate’s diagnosis was not shared with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. While a family source told People that the Sussexes were “left out of any details regarding Kate’s diagnosis.”

“There is clearly no trust,” the source continued.

This comes after King Charles’ wife, Queen Camilla shared an update on Kate. This was after Camilla was presented with cards for Kate during her visit to Shrewsbury Farmers’ Market in Shropshire on Wednesday 27 March. The visit marked Camilla’s first royal engagement since the news of Kate’s cancer diagnosis.

ROYAL HISTORIAN: ‘TRUST HAS COMPLETELY BROKEN DOWN’

Richard Fitzwilliams, a royal historian claims that Prince William and Prince Harry have not been in contact for months. Fitzwilliams went on to say that the trust between the brothers is completely broken.

“It speaks volumes that Harry and Meghan learnt of the diagnosis from the news. The brothers reportedly haven’t been in contact for months and trust has completely broken down,” said royal historian Fitzwilliams to The Times of London.

Prince Harry and Meghan quit their roles as senior working members of the royal family in 2020. The Sussexes then moved to California where they started a new life and are raising their two kids. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are parents to Prince Archie (4), and Princes Lilibet (2).

Prince William and Kate are parents to Prince George (10), Princess Charlotte (8), and Prince Louis (5).
