They may be currently estranged from Prince William and his family, but Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are showing public support for Kate Middleton amid the reveal of her cancer diagnosis.
Despite reportedly learning of her diagnosis from the media, like the rest of the public, the couple has reached out and expressed their concern and support, both publicly and, according to People magazine, privately.
In a statement to the publication, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex said, “We wish health and healing for Kate and the family.”
They added that they “hope [Kate and the family] are able to do so privately and in peace.”
After widespread speculation from the public and the media, in a video message released Friday, Middleton revealed she had stepped out of the public eye in recent months to grapple with a cancer diagnosis following abdominal surgery.
The Princess of Wales explained that she is in the “early stages” of preventative chemotherapy and that, in addition to recovering from surgery, she and Prince William had taken the time to explain things to their children, Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5, before making a public announcement.
The fallout and ongoing estrangement between Prince Harry and his brother, which he revealed in his memoir “Spare,” has been widely documented since Harry and Meghan stepped down as working royals in January 2020.
Accordingly, a source told People that the Sussexes were “left out of any details regarding Kate’s diagnosis.” The source added, “There is clearly no trust.”
Royal historian Richard Fitzwilliams told Time magazine, “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.”
